5.00I had an amazing experience with Boyoung on this tour. She was extremely knowledgeable, and I appreciated all the insight she provided during the tour of the Bongeunsa Temple. The visit to Starfield library was fun, and I appreciated having time to enjoy myself in the library and explore the mall. Finally, the KBBQ lunch was absolutely delicious! It was great having a local to guide through what would have otherwise been an intimidating meal. Overall, had a fantastic time - highly recommend!
Really wonderful time...

5.00The tour is compact and covers a district with interesting sites. If you are doing this at the end of a busy day, you'll rejoice in the amount of places that can offer some respite. The tour was interesting from multiple perspectives, including religious, pop culture, life, and food. I think it is quite interesting to try. I was offered not only a peak into a buddhist service, gained knowledge on the Ganhnam district from a local perspective, looked at some books in a picturesque library, but also was served great food and a few anecdotes. That being said, I think it is worth it simply because this supports great people like Choi, who was a great guide, but also made considerable effort to accommodate my miscalculation in getting to the meetup place. Long story short, I was late, not too much, but still enough to miss the tour. When I texted them, he stayed behind to ensure I did not travel from the airport in vain. I felt bad, of course, but yet thankful for his time.

5.00It was fantastic evening tour. The guide(Mr.Choi)was quite knowledgeable and kindly explain about a temple and all kind of question l asked him. At the library, there was a free time you could look around or sit on the chair to relax. He always offered to take a picture. It was very nice and kind gesture for someone who traveled alone. Dinner was excellent and so delicious. You could learn a lots as local food from this tour. I truly appreciate they explained to me so well. I enjoyed joining this tour so much. I have joined many tours in Seoul and this was one of the best. Thank you do much for the wonderful time. 素晴らしい夜のツアーでした。 ガイドさん（崔さん）はとても知識が豊富で、お寺について親切に説明してくださり、いろいろ質問させていただきました。 図書館では、周りを見回したり、椅子に座ってくつろいだりする自由な時間がありました。 彼はいつも写真を撮ると申し出ていました。 一人旅をしている人にとっては、とても素敵で親切なジェスチャーでした。 夕食は素晴らしく、とても美味しかったです。 このツアーでは地元の食べ物として多くのことを学ぶことができます。 本当によく説明してくれて感謝しています。 このツアーに参加できてとても楽しかったです。 私はソウルで多くのツアーに参加してきましたが、これは最高のツアーのひとつでした。 素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました。
