5.00Booked a layover tour with OneDayKorea tours. Joe was our private tour guide and had a most exceptional disposition. Albeit a condensed time frame, we still felt like we learnt so much, and appreciated Joe’s knowledge, great photo taking skills and pace.

5.00We could not have lived our day with Jin more! She was so incredibly kind, sweet, fun and knowledgeable, not to mention a wonderful driver! From the palace to the market, the temple to the top of Namsan mountain, each site was enjoyable and so interesting! I feel like I know Seoul better after today and have made a wonderful friend, Jin! How lucky we were to have her as our guide - highly highly recommend this experience!!
