Great way get out of the airport and see parts of the city! Our guide Mr. Moon was very knowledgeable, we learned a lot about the city, history, architecture. Really enjoyed our day. This tour was also very nice because it includes pick up and drop off at airport!

Great way to spend a long layover in Seoul. Song was a great tour guide around the city. He took us all over. Sometimes just dropped us off and told us what to look for sometimes took us around. Gave us a great rec for food. Super fun experience. Great way to get a little glimpse of the city.

Moon was an amazing travel guide. He went at our pace and listened to the groups needs. He spoke excellent English as well! He was very knowledgeable about Korea and all of the places we visited. I would highly recommend this private tour. We loved our layover tour with Moon, we all agreed that we wanted to come back and spend a week traveling.

Song, 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.

Tour 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.

This 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.

This was an awesome time. Moon was the best guide ever. Described all of the places we visited in detail and he really knew his history.

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!
