    James was an amazing tour guide and Jacob was an equally amazing photographer. We felt like we learned a lot on this tour and getting our pictures taken as well in traditional hanbok made it an overall fun experience.

  • So much fun!

    Such a fun experience. James was wonderful with the tour and communication leading up to the tour (conveying information and plans). So much fun getting dressed up for the palace- they really do make you feel like royalty! Our guides had a wonderful sense of humour, were very knowledgeable and the photos are a nice souvenir too. Highly recommend!

    The whole experience was awesome from start to finish! My very picky mother joined us on the tour. First of all, The ladies at the hanbok store were great helping us pick out the clothing and doing our hair. And making my mom happy with how we looked. James and Jacob were so friendly. They really helped my mom enjoy her experience. They were friendly and knowledgeable about the palace. They helped us pose and took amazing pictures of us. They kept my mom laughing which is no small feat. We highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to not just take pictures but learn some of the history behind Korea and Gyeongbokgung Palace!

    I had such a wonderful time on my Palace tour of Gyeongbokgung with James and Jacob. The whole experience was very enjoyable, and they shared so much interesting information throughout the visit. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, which made the history and culture of the palace come alive. On top of that, they were also a great photographer, helping capture some amazing shots to remember the day by. It was the perfect balance of learning and fun, and I’d highly recommend booking with James and Jacob for anyone considering a Gyeongbokgung Palace tour.
