Honestly the best tour I had in Korea. Due to the kimichi place not being open we got a reschedule for a different day but honestly that was the best thing that could’ve happened we got a private tour with Eva and she was so bubbly and high energy and made the whole tour more fun. My favorite part out of the 3 things we did was the kimichi making it was such a unique experience. But I very much enjoyed wearing the pretty hanbok and walking around the palace and learning about the history. Fantastic tour would recommend.

Had a very fun tour with Eva. We did a kimchi making class and got to take our own kimchi home with us. They also gave us drinks and kimchi pancakes to eat. Then we dressed up in hanbok and went to tour the castle. The hanbok were very pretty and had many colors. The castle was not too crowded. Then we went to the ginseng museum, which had very cool art made with ginseng! Our tour guide Eva was very personable and knowledgeable. She helped us take pictures too. Overall fun experience
Great time, highly recommend!

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!
