3.00The itinerary itself was okey - Seoul city tour as one would expect, only what to see within the city.
Amazing customized tour with Jiwon

5.00Jiwon is such a great guide for us. He is knowledgeable about history, culture and must seen spots in Seoul. Also very considerate and flexible. His English is excellent and his tour with him is a highlight of our trip in Seoul. We always hire tour guides everywhere we go and I can easily say that Jiwon is the best one we have had.
Excellent Guide & 3 day tour!

5.00Nammin Kang arrived every morning punctually at our hotel and provided us with a fantastic experience in Seoul. He was kind, patient and flexible customising the tour to our interests and needs. We covered so much in 3 days seeing all the premium sites including the DMZ. As well Nammin is a very capable driver and we both felt safe and secure with him. Many thanks. Highly recommend!

5.00We had the best day touring around Korea. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, kind, patient, and friendly. It was like having a good friend show you around. He pointed out great spots for us to linger and took us to a delicious Korean restaurant where only locals went. And let me say— YUM! We love to travel for good food and he ticked every box with that recommendation. I cannot express enough how wonderful our day was. With 2 teens and their grandmother he was thoughtful of their needs and made everyone feel prepared for the day. I am so glad we took this trip.
Best Tour Ever!!

5.00I think that this was the best tour I have EVER taken. Jake not only was able to fit in several sites to visit, he was able to answer all my questions regarding history, politics and culture. He brought Seoul to life for me! This is a beautiful city with lovely people and Jake did justice to both! In addition, Jake watched out for me (I'm old), an assisted when I was shaky climbing stairs. He knew where all the good stuff was and when to get there to avoid crowds. He went above and beyond to drive to a particular store so that I could get a particular present for my husband. I could go on and on, but I retract my 5-star rating. Jake deserves a "10". Thank you, Jake. I'll always remember that wonderful tour and you!!
An Unforgettable Day in Seoul with the Best Guide!

5.00We had the absolute pleasure of having Jake as our private tour guide, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we met him, we knew we were in excellent hands. Jake is an incredibly cultured, knowledgeable, and passionate guide with a deep understanding of Korea’s rich history and traditions. He was amazingly patient and customized the entire tour to match our pace and preferences, making adjustments along the way to ensure we were completely happy and comfortable. Every moment felt effortless and enjoyable thanks to his attention to detail and genuine care. One thing that really stood out was his willingness to go above and beyond — we needed to buy a cheap suitcase at the last minute, and Jake made the impossible possible. He searched tirelessly until we found exactly what we needed! He also took us to a fantastic Korean BBQ restaurant for lunch, where the food was absolutely delicious and authentic — a true highlight of the day. For us, it was truly an honor to have such an experienced and insightful person as our guide. We learned so much, laughed a lot, and left with wonderful memories of Seoul. Thank you!
