5.00Song, our guide, was excellent and the overall tour was fantastic. We got a great overview of Seoul and plenty of time at each location. We really appreciated the lunch recommendations and the accommodation Song made for an older family member.
A good way to kill time on a layover.

3.00Tour guide was very nice and informative. Tour included only one site to really see. Cost wasn't worth it. Driver spent a lot of time on his phone. Went to shopping areas. First we just walked and he pointed out souvenir shops. We tried to stop him to look at a different shop but couldn't. We were taken to the "largest market" and had 20 minutes to shop. Never take a women to shops with no time to shop. Did take us to a wonderful place for lunch.
A great introduction to Seoul!

5.00This is a great option should you have a long layover at Incheon airport. My guide was exceptional, adjusted the amount of time we spent at each location based on my interests, gave great lunch and shopping recommendations, and ensured I was back at the airport with plenty of time to check in and make my flight. The vehicle was clean, spacious and well maintained.
Very good...

5.00This 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!
Great layover tour and an education

5.00JK 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.
Great experience
