    Excellent personalized tour. Stella, our guide, was so welcoming and enthusiastic. Got a good feel for the city of Seoul. Stella helped us feel her warmth and oozed pride for her country.

    Stella was amazing. Her tour was informative, interesting, and a lot of fun. We saw so many sights and she was able to answer all of our questions. My 20 year old son was equally as impressed with the tour and Stella's knowledge. I highly recommend the tour and Stella!

    Joe was a fantastic guide, he picked us up as it was raining and drove us to a couple of places that were not on the tour. He was very knowledgeable and I learnt a lot about Korean history. My son loved all the 'heads chopped' stories. The sun did end up coming out for us so we were able to walk around and look at the palace and the village.

  • Great memories

    I loved the "Best Walking Tour to Gyeongbok Palace and Bukchon with Expert." The guide (Kang Hyun Soo (sorry for any misspelling) / Stella) was super knowledgeable and made the history of the palace and Bukchon Hanok Village really interesting. After the tour, we visited a local cosmetics brand, and the guide even bought some Korean snacks for us, which was very nice of her. Highly recommend it!
