5.00Mr. Bergen was an amazing tour guide! We had a wonderful experience in Seoul and appreciate his knowledge and experience both of Korean and American culture and history. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone needing help getting the most out of their visit to Seoul. Bergen was extremely pleasant to be around and was very accommodating to our needs.

5.00Wonderful short essential Seoul tour! Extremely convenient since the tour operator was very flexible and accommodating regarding our request of pick up in the airport but return to the port of Incheon instead since this was to be our Cruise embarkation day instead of a regular layover tour. Mr John Im was prompt in his pick up and was waiting patiently for us out of the customs gate of Incheon International Airport even if it was very early in the morning ( our flight arrived at 520 AM from LAS). This gave us ample time to see a lot of places in Seoul before our check in time for our cruise ( 5 PM all aboard). I believe the highlight for me was the delicious Michelin starred Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup! It was hearty and filling! Came bubbling in a traditional Korean clay pot with 1 whole spring chicken per serving! Just WOW! 😋 Will definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a quick concise but essential tour of beautiful Seoul South Korea!

5.00We had a whirlwind day in Seoul. Our guide Tony Kim picked us up at the Port of Incheon bright & early (7:15am) after a cruise, and showed us around Seoul before dropping us off at the airport for our evening flight home. He was able to squeeze a tremendous amount of content into the day, and his insider knowledge helped us avoid long wait times at the Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Honok Village, the National Folk Museum & Jogyesa Temple. Terrific lunch, and dumplings at the Kwangjang Market. We had a great time with Tony & highly recommend this Tour.
Thorough and informative tour

5.00I arrived early and my tour was suppose to start @9am, my tour guide was there for me after my breakfast. I had chance to see the changing of the guards in time and toured the vicinity area . I had a chance to sample typical Korean foods and snacks visited the Korean market, the typical old village . I highly recommend Bergen (Seung Ig) Park as a guide and driver Ruben USA

5.00This tour was amazing! Bergen, our tour guide, picked us up at the scheduled time and arranged our activities based on our liking. He also served as our photographer during the entire tour and his pictures were very good. Lunch and dinner were included and we loved the food we ate. He took us to a Michelin restaurant for lunch and we had Ginseng Chicken Soup. We had dinner at a food market in Seoul which was also very yummy. Bergen was very knowledgeable of the tourist spots of Seoul. I highly recommend you ask for Bergen to be your guide when booking this tour!!!
Not really gourmet food. ,

4.00Guide Bergen was fantastic. 21/2 hr drive from port to palace. We quickly moved thru korean museum. Never got to fine arts museum that I remember. A lot of walking. We did not go to market for street food dinner( gourmet??) because it was after 3 when we were going and we thought if drive was long back to port we would not arrive on time. We do not like last minute or being rushed. Lunch was at a crowded place but very good chicken soup. Again Bergen was a great guide. We were picked up at port at 7:45 if we would have been picked up at 8:30 as requested we really would have been rushed with all these venues. Too much in too little time.
Highly Recommend

5.00The day tour was very well organized and informative! We were able to fit many key historic and cultural places into the day while also being able to taste a variety of food. The traditional tea house was a favourite of mine! Bergen was very friendly and accommodating. By the end of the day it felt like traveling with a family member! Highly recommend.
