5.00Our family had the absolute pleasure of touring Seoul with Camelia, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide for our very first trip to Korea. Traveling with elderly family members can sometimes feel overwhelming, but Camelia was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive every step of the way. She made sure everyone felt comfortable, never rushed us, and went above and beyond to accommodate our group’s needs. She was not only warm and friendly, but also so knowledgeable and informative. Every stop felt meaningful because of the stories and history she shared along the way. Highlights of our day included the beautiful visit to Namsan Tower and the cable car ride (such a memorable experience!), exploring the charm of Namsangol Hanok Village, and enjoying a delicious lunch in Insadong. She helped us see so many wonderful spots that we never would have been able to navigate on our own. Camelia truly made Korea come alive for us. What could have been a stressful day of logistics became a joyful, seamless, and unforgettable experience thanks to her care and attention. She felt less like a guide and more like a friend by the end of the tour. We are so grateful for this special day and highly recommend Camelia to anyone visiting Korea — she will make your trip truly magical 💕
