⭐️❤️Walking around with Shim like walking around with an old friend!❤️⭐️

5.00Walking walking around with Shim in Seoul is like walking around with an old friend. His reviews have not disappointed and he literally saw them through & Then some! He tailor made our tour to be K-pop demon Hunters related for myself and my four year old - and he was super kind to our little girl in general. He included lots of history, pop cultire, and in four hours I saw so much and saw stiff we never would have done on my own, on our little Layover from Japan to LDN. I particularly recommend him for layovers for quick sightseeing. I know he works for a few companies, so I will save you the time of research Loki is the cheapest way to book Shim's services. BUT --Make sure you tip him well and ignore what they say about tipping being rude in Korea - it isn't the case tour guides. Especially when they have to pay proportion of their fee to the platform like this. Thanks Shim & thanks Lokafly Emmy ✈️❤️
Excellent Tour!

5.00Chris was an excellent guide. We selected 4 hours so spent the afternoon seeing mostly traditional areas in Seoul but also some more modern things too. We relied on Chris to advise us only suggesting one place ourselves. She was very knowledgeable, great English and it was a really perfect start to our time in S Korea!

A Wonderful Tour of Seoul That Exceeded Our Expectations!

5.00A Wonderful Tour of Seoul That Exceeded Our Expectations!” Our guide Marina provided us with a tour of Seoul that was informative, interesting and which met all our requirements. Marina gave us invaluable insights into life in modern Seoul as well as useful information about the city. During our three hour walk, we enjoyed the variety of visiting the city centre as well as the local markets. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Marina was an exceptional guide. We would highly recommend your walking tour to any other prospective tourists. Being guided by a local person was of great benefit. We were provided with interesting insights that you normally do not get from a usual tour guide. We have continued to be in contact with Marina who has provided us with fabulous additional information for my travel blog "The 19th Corner: Love Affair With Arctic Russia".
