Its our 4th time with One Day Korea and 2nd private tour with Brian. As always, the tour was excellent. Highly recommended if you like something with a personal touch.

On November 8, after spending a few days in Seoul, we took a private tour to the Pocheon area. We had a fantastic, English-speaking guide, Justin, who drove us to the Arboretum (we were there just at the peak of the foliage changing! so lucky!), then to an old granite quarry that has been converted into an outdoor auditorium, a beautiful reservoir, and a sculpture garden (you go up in a cable car). Justin told us the history of the area, gave us context to appreciate what we were seeing, and found a place for lunch that accommodated our late lunch preference. He introduced to tteokgalbi, delicious black pork dish that comes with all the banchan little dishes. We ended the day at the vefy interesting Herb Island. In sum, great day with a wonderful tour guide!

Justin Kim, our guide, showed us Pocheon on a private tour from Seoul. He was fluent in English and we had a wonderful time visiting the National Arboretum and other locations on the tour. He also helped take pictures throughout the tour which he emailed to us the next day. We enjoyed the authentic Korean restaurant on the tour. Highly recommend Justin Kim.

My husband and I did the private day tour to Pocheon with Justin as our guide. Justin is a standout guide. He’s incredibly knowledgeable in Korean history and attractions in Seoul. And very funny too. Our trip to Pocheon was extremely special for me, I was born in Pocheon then adopted as a baby to America. This was my first time back to visit. Despite our full day agenda, I mentioned to Justin my connection and that I’d love to visit the hospital I was born at in Pocheon. After the amazing Korean lunch, Justin took us by the hospital for me to have a few moments there. He even asked a hospital staff member about the construction of the hospital to then point out which part of the building I was most likely born in. He was so kind and sensitive to my feelings as I did get tears in my eyes. It’s a moment I’ll always remember. The arboretum was our favorite part of the planned tour. Lots of information on the different trees and wood types plus botanical tour. Justin was helped by Kristin, arboretum staff member, who was lovely and sweet. The Art Valley is a pretty spot and Herb Island was an interesting experience... Herbs, dinosaurs, donkeys, Santa Claus, and massage chairs. Pocheon itself is a beautiful town, surrounded by lush green mountains with plentiful farming around. I definitely recommend this tour to any nature lover. You won’t be disappointed, especially with Justin as your guide.

We had an amazing day with our tour guide Justin. I would definitely recommend booking directly through OneDayKorea for the best deal and service. Justin picked us up on time and was so friendly. We felt comfortable with him right away. He was willing to share his knowledge of Korea with us and his English was very good. He took pictures of us throughout the day and sent them to us by the end of the day. They turned out great! Our favorite stop was Pocheon Art Valley. Very beautiful area. A traditional Korean lunch was also included and was delicious. If we had more time in Korea I would book another tour with OneDayKorea and Justin.

Justin (our tour guide) was very helpful and informative. He picked us up at 9am without any delays and we made our way to our first attraction. He explained all the small stuff here and there. His english skills are excellent and is willing to answer whatever question you ask. We tried korean food together for lunch it was a yummy experience. He took tons of photos of us and sent them by email after the tour has ended. I would definitely recommend one day korea for anyone who is visiting Korea.
Loved this!

Loved everything about this tour of the Pocheon area. Justin, our tour guide, was informative, well-organized and very kind during the trip. We went outside of the city and saw the less urban parts of Korea including an UNESCO-designated national forest. Beautiful sights, beautiful day. Great tour.

My family (including my grandmother who's 80) and I had a pleasant trip out to Pocheon with Justin who was our driver and guide. We went to the national arboretum, Pocheon art valley, herb island as well as mini apple picking. We didn't go to the waterfall as there was not enough rainfall during my travel period. Justin was a very accommodating guide who would make sure that my grandmother wasn't too tired and we are well fed. He was also a good photographers and captured many candid moments for us. We had a good time with Justin and would definitely recommend Oneday Korea to our friends and family.
