5.00Family… you will feel like family when you tour with Sophia. If you’ve never met someone with an electrifying personality, get ready! From the initial WhatsApp correspondence through our farewell hug, every need will be met; every question will be answered, and you will be made to feel like you are the only person / people in all of South Korea. Sophia is a master in all things: history, culture, statistics, connoisseur of great foods, paparazzi-style photography, and driving (on snowy and slippery roads, no less). A tour with Sophia is an unforgettable experience. Five stars simply aren’t enough to sing her praises. Do not delay; book with Sophia today!
Mission complete!

5.00We were on a mission to check some things off our bucket list before leaving Seoul and this was the perfect way to do it. We saw the DMZ, a Hanok Village, and the Bugak Skyway all in one day! Our guide was friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend.
Perfect for a long layover

5.00Our guide, Jun, was wonderful. We spent a most enjoyable day exploring the highlights of Seoul. Although the tunnel for the DMZ was closed on a Monday, he provided a fantastic alternative view. He was attentive to our requests and it was a very personalised tour. He took us to a lovely Korean barbecue restaurant for lunch, which we thoroughly enjoyed. He was great at talking photographs and his command of English was excellent. We would highly recommend him.
Highly recommended as a tailor made tour

5.00Jun was a wonderful host. He kept in contact with us from the moment we booked the tour and answered all my emails within 24th ours. On the day, he picked us up from our hotel and clarified exactly what we wanted to do. His knowledgeable running commentary was a highlight for us as we love to hear about the country and the people who live there. Once we arrived at the DMZ, Jun handled all the ticketing and even bought us a drink of water. His knowledge of the local history and area was wonderful. When we had seen everything we wanted to see, he arranged our choice of lunch at a delicious local restaurant - perfect! At the end of our personally tailor made day, Jun dropped us safely back to the hotel. Jun's car was immaculately clean and the whole day was exactly what we'd been hoping for for so long. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thank you Jun!

5.00Jun was an incredible driver and tour guide during my short stay in Seoul. He was punctual, professional, and so friendly — instantly making me feel comfortable and welcome. His wealth of knowledge about Korean culture, history, and local life truly enriched my trip. His car was spotless, luxurious, and extremely comfortable, which made getting around the city effortless. In just 36 hours, Jun helped me see the very best of Seoul and gave me a newfound love and appreciation for Korean culture — something I’ll always carry with me. He even arranged a seamless airport transfer for an additional fee, which I was more than happy to pay given the exceptional service. I’ll absolutely reach out to Jun next time I’m in Korea and highly recommend that others do the same.
Excellent and very informative

5.00Really enjoyable day. We were able to do things at our own pace, so to speak, with Heni, our guide, and her husband who acted as our driver. Worth every penny, dearer than what you would pay for a group trip, but as it was a personal guided tour the price tag was justified. We were able customise the day, with Henis guidance. Heni herself, was very knowledgeable and helpful, acting as our photographer to boot, I would recommend this tour without any hesitation.
