Alice was fantastic. Helped us tailor the tour to what we wanted to see and skip some places we've been to already. We had the best lunch and an overall fun time.

This was a fantastic experience with so much to do. Our guide, Jay, was a great mix of friendly , informative and professional. Dressing up like nobility and touring the palace, making kimchi and visiting the ginseng educational facility were all good times. I would definitely recommend. 🤗
Amazing experience with Lena and Tom!

My mother and I enjoyed this experience immensely! Lena was so amazing and answered so many questions. She gave us so many recommendations not only related to our tour, including dining, skincare, shopping, etc. Her kindness and patience truly contributed to how much my mother and I enjoyed our day! Just wait until you try the Hanbok! Thank you again Lena (and Tom our wonderful and safe driver)!
Good trip

We were hosted by Lady K, who were very professional. The tour itself is very interesting, and Hanbok is a must try in Korea. It is family friendly and kids like it too.
Very good!

The tour- from the hanbok, palace tour, ginseng history, Insadong, to the kimchi making- was overall a blast! Even though the weather outside was a bit cold, our tour guide, Lina, tries to keep it engaging and warm for us to walk around, answer our questions, and enjoy the Korean culture. 감삼합니다!
Great experience
