Our group of 6 people private tour with Mr. Shin (Lloyd) was an awesome experience. He was very professional, knowledgeable and most of all fun. He was very accommodating to our requests and recommended a lot of great things to make our tour go smoothly. He even took our pictures for us often. When we come back to Korea we will definitely be calling Mr. Shin again. Highly recommend this private tour company!!

Lloyd Shin is by far the best travel guide we’ve had in Seoul. He was professional, knowledgeable, and made us feel very comfortable throughout the tour. He showed us many interesting places and provided detailed information about each one. Lloyd patiently answered all our questions and went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. We’ll definitely recommend him and his team to our friends visiting Korea!
