Bergen was an excellent tour guide, making concessions for my bad knee, but also adding in stops he thought we would like. We so enjoyed the day! He was early to meet us and we called it quits in the late afternoon, being exhausted from our overseas trip. It was a very comprehensive tour of Seoul, made personal by Bergen. Thank you!

This was worth it! Bergen is such a great guide who is very knowledgeable in all the sites we visited. He took good care of me and was able to take me to all the sites without issue. This is the perfect itinerary to see major highlights in Seoul. Bergen is a seasoned guide who explained the history and current information of each location. He also was mindful on what I was interested in. The food was also awesome. I got to each the popular ginseng chicken soup and walking through the markets and eating the popular bites was definitely a treat.

I had the absolute best time exploring Seoul on a solo guided tour with my incredible guide, Bergen Park. From start to finish, Bergen was the epitome of professionalism—punctual, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. He crafted an itinerary that perfectly balanced iconic landmarks with hidden gems, making sure I got a well-rounded experience of the city. Every stop was thoughtfully planned and brought to life through Bergen’s engaging storytelling and deep cultural insights. What really stood out was his ability to adapt the tour to my pace and interests as well as allow time and space to enjoy the venues, which made the whole experience feel personal and seamless. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide —this tour exceeded all my expectations and I truly love Seoul. Highly recommended! Luca
