This is my fourth time to Korea and I have met many guides. While all of them have been amazing, none have been like Eundam. We had so much fun and I know we were like two toddlers running to every shiny thing we saw! But Eundam was amazing. I fee like I made a friend for life and she is one of a kind. A+++++++

I had the greatest experience with Eundam. She helped me take care of all the things I needed to do and took me to the best places. I would be lost without her. She was so knowledgeable about Korea. I learned a lot and she went the extra mile in every way. I wish she could come back to America with me and be by my side in life.

Juno was an excellent tour guide! He planned a wonderful day for us- seeing many wonderful sites and eating at delicious restaurants. He thought of everything. He gave us great options for activities throughout the day, tailoring our tour to our interests. He really connected with our children. He took us to HIKR, a really fun K-Pop interactive destination. He was so knowledgeable about Seoul and shared many fascinating details about his own life experiences and Korean culture. He is a kind, considerate, and joyful person. We had a really fun and informative time with him, and look forward to reconnecting with him on our next trip to Seoul. By the end of the day we felt like old friends. Highest recommendation!

Eundam was an exceptional tour guide. She was incredibly informative, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to make the experience worthwhile. I really appreciated that she visited the tour locations ahead of time to ensure everything would go smoothly and even provided updates to help me prepare. Her dedication and care made the entire tour enjoyable and memorable.

We had a fabulous day with Lia. She picked us up from the airport and we went straight into a food tour. The food was delicious and Lia navigated us perfectly through the market.

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.

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.
