    One of the worst tours we have ever been on. Learned nothing, no facts or backgrounds were given about the places we went (only two places out of four listed and tour “guide” walked so far ahead of us the entire time we didn’t speak), unresponsive on the Viator app, and only lasted 2 hours yet we paid for 3 with no refund given. Do not book this

    Excellent tour. We learnt a lot about the city and the culture from our guide. Strongly recommend if you're only visiting for a short time.

    The entire tour was amazing. This is the best way to experience the best parts of Seoul in one day. The guide was awesome and very accommodating. The tour is very flexible allowing for a personalized experience that went above and beyond my expectations. I can not recommend this enough.
