5.00Andrew was such a wonderful guide that brought the city to life for us! He's super knowledgeable and provided many historic insights during our tour. I would highly recommend this tour to any newcomers to Seoul. It was a great introduction to and gave us a solid foundation to explore the city further on following days.

5.00Andrew was so much fun! He gave us lots of information about the area as we travelled . He was very cheerful and showed us some of the more exotic food options than we would have tried on our own. We all tried everything and left very satisfied. Dessert at a tea house rounded off a perfect day. Thank you, Andrew!!
Foody night on the town.
