The tour is only as good as your guide and Lia made us feel so comfortable. It was like I was traveling with my niece.

My grandchildren are into K-pop so they wanted to go to Hype and Hikr ground. I booked a 5 hr tour through Goodmate Travel with Lia being our tour guide. Lia made our tour so memorable. The grandkids really enjoyed the different activities at Hikr and Lia joined in. It made me so happy to see the smiles on their faces. We ended our tour with a visit to Seoul Tower. I especially liked the background history info that Lia gave us. Again, it was an enjoyable time. Highly recommend Lia if you need an English speaking tour guide. We were so comfortable with her.

Our tour guide was super nice and helpful when we asked questions! She took lots of pictures for us and made the experience a really good one. The Seoul tower was my favorite because of the aesthetics there. It’s the first time I’ve been to Korea so our tour guide was giving us facts and helping us translate. The visit was from 10-5 pm. There were 5 of us including our tour guide Lia. The admission fee was very reasonable and it was worth the experience. This tour is best for first timers and tourists in general.
Food tour and more!

We had such a great time with Juno as our tour guide. He was so knowledgeable about Seoul. Not only did we get to eat great food, he also told us a lot of Seoul’s history. He took us to his favorite food spots which were so delicious! Juno was super accommodating and took us around to other places we did not think of going. Definitely recommend Juno and Goodmate Travel!

This tour was great! We enjoyed exploring Ganghwa Island for the day and seeing a different part of the DMZ. The views are gorgeous on the island and the DMZ peace observatory gave a really nice insight into life in North Korea. The North Korean meal was delicious and one of our favorite meals on our whole trip. The foot bath was also a nice addition. Would take this tour over the typical DMZ tour in a heartbeat.
