This was a great experience for our layover! Moon was our guide and he was great! He was so knowledgeable! The palace tour was great! We had different expectations of the market at the end. We thought it would be more local or handmade goods. But so many of the things were made in china. The shops by the traditional houses we went to were great! We had a great experience!

JK our tour guide was on time. Had bottled water and hand warmers already waiting in the car. Drive from the Airport to Seoul was over an hour but he made sure to take the best route to get there on time for the show at the Palace. He was very attentive and knew exactly when to take us in line to take photos with the Palace guards,we were the first inline.He then took us to the rental place across the street when I expressed my interest in wearing the dress . Took us to the best parts of the Palace. Offered to take pictures and patiently waited while we explored and took more pictures. The next stop was Hanok Village, gave us the history of the place .JK has also given us the history of the Palace which was great to know. The village is really nice with the steep hills and good view. Then he took us to the best lunch ever. This place was busy and was so surprised of how much food we had with what we ordered and it was delicious. Took us for more walks around the modern streets then our last stop was namdaemun market. He made us try the street food,fish cake,literally shaped as fish but is was freshly cooked and so good. He made sure we walked around and stopped on stores that had our attentions. I didn't know what to expect but I'm glad we took this layover tour. It was a great and wholesome experience. JK took us to the popular spots. I've had a good taste of what Seoul has to offer.Definitely worth it. We got dropped off at the airport with a good amount of time before our flight. JK is very friendly and professional. Has given us a lot of info about the places we visited and meanings for some words. I say,try this private tours if you have a long layover ,a great way to see best tourist spots in a day.

Song gave us a great experience and a lot of information in the few hours we had. It made our whole trip much more enjoyable. Who wants 9 hours in an airport?

Our guide JK was fantastic. A great way to spend our 12.5 hour layover. We had a fabulous Korean lunch, saw the palace and did some shopping.
