Andy was our guide to the DMZ. He was prompt and courteous. He even helped maneuver and accommodate a last minute add. He explained the difficulty of adding my mother to the tour given the limited number of visitors allowed to the site. Yet, he worked the entire time to make it happen and it did happen! We learned so much from Andy about both South and North Korea. Our questions were endless and yet he was patient and thoughtful with all of his answers. He was so knowledgeable and spoke English very well. We very much enjoyed our visit with him and would recommend this tour to anyone to wants to learn about the conflict and the history of these two regions.

We have booked a day tour in Seoul to see all the interesting places in a short time. We had limited time so the tour we chose was the most suitable. Everything was organised well and without any complications: pick up from hotel, tickets, transfer from one location to another, control the timing etc.
Money well spent!

We had an excellent time on our long layover in Seoul with our private tour. Sangwan was punctual, friendly, and very knowledgable. We were able to see all the attractions/sights that we were most interested in. We requested to start the day an hour early and Sangwan was able to accommodate. Prior to our arrival, we were in constant contact with Harry, This is Korea's travel consultant, to customizable our tour, where we were meeting, how to stay in contact once we arrived, etc. We were in great hands from beginning to end, now our daughter wants to plan for a trip with her family with these guys. Thank you Sangwan and Harry.

We would highly recommend This is Korea tours to anyone visiting Seoul and looking for an awesome experience. We had an amazing day with our guide Kory, who made sure everything was perfect. Since we had specific things we were interested in, we wanted to do the fully customizable tour so that we could have flexibility in preparing the itinerary to our preferences. The travel agency and tour guide made this very easy to do and did an excellent job customizing it to our liking. We saw the Blue House, multiple palaces and the secret garden, Insadong for some brief shopping and dinner followed by a moonlit river cruise. If we came back, we’d definitely book with the same tour company again as everything was fantastic. Kory, our guide, was very knowledgeable, spoke great English, and was attentive and made sure we saw all the highlights. He was also a great driver and the car was very spacious and comfortable. Definitely don’t hesitate to book this private and customizable tour on your visit to Seoul.
