5.00We had an absolutely incredible day with Juno! He is such a kind, patient, and genuinely helpful person. He explained everything in detail, answered every single one of our questions, and even shared fascinating insights with us along the way. Our conversations with him were not only informative but also truly enjoyable. Thanks to Juno, we had a wonderful and unforgettable day. If you’re traveling to Korea, I wholeheartedly recommend taking a tour with Juno you won’t regret it!

5.00Wonderful half day of sight seeing in Seoul! Thomas, our guide, was great. Very knowledgeable regarding Korean history and giving context to what we were experiencing. Very nice to have our own private guide to move at our own pace. We covered Gyeongbokgung Palace, Hanok Village and the Kwangjang Market, all in a half day. Wonderful tour guide and I would highly recommend!
Recommended tour especially for first time visitors to seoul

5.00This was a great tour, covering a few different and interesting locations. Gyeongbukgung Palace and the PSY statue in Gangnam was just amazing. Hong had lots of knowledge and provided interesting information, particularly on the history of each location. He answered lots of questions and was warm and welcoming. Speacilly my daughter liked it.

5.00I would definitely recommend this tour. Saw some great sites but I also really like the food stops and hole in the wall places that we stopped at. I would have never found them on my own.
