    It brings me immense pleasure to write a review about my recent tour with Viator. I had always dreamed of visiting the Han River because I’ve seen it in so many K-dramas. The only time I had available was early in the morning, and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find a guide at my desired time and day. Luckily, I came across Viator on Google and booked my tour. I’m so pleased with the experience! The sightseeing was beautiful, and my guide, Kay, was incredibly friendly. We grabbed the world-famous Korean banana milk and enjoyed ramen by the river, which made the experience even more special. Kay explained everything about the Yeouido Han River surroundings in great detail, which made the tour both fun and informative. I truly appreciate this experience and wanted to write this positive review as a token of gratitude. I 100% recommend Viator!

    I had a really nice time today visiting the Gyeongbok palace. From the start meeting with my tour guide, Kay was so welcoming and friendly so I knew it will be fun like touring with a friend. We started at inside the wall of the palace took pictures with standing guards dressed traditionally like in Joseon dynasty. I really loved the cozy and joyful atmosphere around the palace. We then went underground where I wrote my name in korean character and stuck it to the wall. Once outside, I went to take pictures of King Sejong statue. From here the background looks really nice with the mountain behind. Then we walked around the street taking more pictures and enjoying the music played in foreigner style there.

    Our visit to Seoul was short but full of experience. Mr.Kay showed us main historical places with rich history, local tradition markets with delicious Korean food 😋. We are really glad to have Mr.Kay as our guide. His tour was full of interesting stories about Korean history, culture and traditions.

    Our family of four—my husband, our two daughters, and I—had a fantastic day with our guide Kay in Seoul. Despite the rainy weather, the private car made everything comfortable, and we were able to enjoy the city without stress. Kay was kind, flexible, and really tuned into what our family enjoyed. He adjusted the tour to fit our pace and even suggested a few unexpected stops that we all loved. It was the perfect way to start our trip. Easy communication, smooth logistics, and a guide who truly cared. Highly recommend!

    I had a truly wonderful day with our guide, Kay. He was always on time, communicated clearly. His knowledge of Korean history and culture was impressive, and he took the time to thoughtfully answer all of our questions. He’s a true professional and a genuinely kind person. I would love to tour with him again on my next visit.
