5.00We had a great experience with Yuni as our tour guide! Since it was a private tour for the 6 people in our party, she was so flexible in what we wanted to see and how long we wanted to stay at each place. She was knowledgeable and gave us recommendations for restaurants and other sites to see for the other days of our trip. We would highly recommend This is Korea and Yuni!
Joe & This is Korea Tours = Absolutely Unforgettable

5.00Where do I start? Our experience with This is Korea Tours was absolutely phenomenal, and it's all thanks to our incredible guide, Joe. Joe didn't just show us Seoul — he brought it to life. From the moment we met him, it was clear this wasn't just a job for him. He genuinely cared about making sure our family had the best possible experience, going above and beyond at every turn. He knew exactly when to give us time to soak things in and when to share a story or insider tip that made each location so much more meaningful. Seoul can be overwhelming for first-time visitors, but Joe made everything feel effortless and fun. He tailored the day around us, was incredibly patient, and had an energy that was contagious from start to finish. If you're visiting Korea and want more than just a generic tour — if you want to actually feel connected to this incredible country — book with This is Korea Tours and ask for Joe. You won't regret it. Hands down one of the highlights of our entire trip! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

5.00We recently gone to Korea from 4th to 24th may, 2026. We were 3 kids and 6 adults. We are pure vegetarian. We had covered seoul, busan and jeju. We were very satisfied with all services. The planning process was smooth. The coordination was effortless, with communication across both WhatsApp and email. I had not call any agents. They sent all the details through WhatsApp. Every questions we had was answered instantly, and they took care food preferences and logistics for a big group with young children. Our guides were excellent. Jeju guide Cindy require special mention. The tour was very affordable. Highly recommend..

5.00Joe was excellent! He knew where all the best spots were, ie: where to sit/stand for the best views, recommendations for food (so good & affordable too) among other suggestions that made our trip memorable. He gave us advice on how to maximize the best experience for us. Not to mention Joe took some of the best photos for us as a family too! He really paid attention to the things we liked and helped accommodate that for us. He really went above and beyond our expectations. Not to mention a BTS book he helped us get! He was so knowledge about Korea and fun to be around. We highly recommend Joe! We would book with him again!
I will come back!

5.00I had booked day trips to Busan, the DMZ and Jeju. Everything was perfect. Bada Cho in Busan, in particular, was a first-class tour guide who drove me around all day and explained so much, all in perfect English. The communication with James and Bruce from Thisiskorea via email before the trip was excellent; I always received reliable replies. They were both very patient with me. Everything was organised, which made my trip to South Korea so much easier. If you like to explore countries on your own and want to put together your own itinerary, this is the place for you. Thank you all so much. If I ever come back to South Korea, I’ll be the first to get in touch with you at Thisiskorea!
Joe and me…and the DMZ

5.00Our day tour with Ka was an incredible experience! Best tips and recommendations, amazing company. We had an excellent experience, she was incredibly attentive, kind, and professional throughout the entire tour. Her recommendations were spot-on and really enhanced our time in Korea, from places to visit to local spots we would have never discovered on our own. What we loved the most was how she shared the history of her country—engaging, insightful, and full of interesting details. Highly recommended!
