5.00Sheen Kim did an amazing job! We gave Sheen a long list of things we wanted to see and he made it happen. We highly recommend him. I love to take pictures so he gave me hints on the best places to take pictures. Best decision we made was to have Sheen Kim as our guide.
One half day in magical Seoul!

5.00I only had one free day between a business trip filled with meetings. I have never travelled to Seoul so I wanted to have a chance to at least get a tiny flavor of this wonderful city. Paul, my guide, was wonderful. Took me to some of the places I wanted to visit and provided some interesting history about the historically significant sites. Highly recommend!!
Very god

5.00Must have tour in Korea with great tour guide. Sheen has been an amazing guide, very passionate with history of Korea, very friendly and accommodated our needs, give us tips so we can make the most of our tour like where is the best spot to take photos, and gave lots of recommendations for the rest of our stay. He took us to a great lunch spot when we told him we wants Bossum. He’s been really lovely, and anyone who would like to take this tour should ask for him. Excellent tour guide and we had an amazing and stress free day because of him. 💯 recommended. Thank you, Mr. Sheen Kim for a 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ service! 😊

5.00Went for a great adventure into the mountains and to see a bukon village and a Mountain View and it was well worth it. Even if it was January and -15° it was still beautiful. Jade was a great guide. So friendly and interesting and really tailored our tour to suit us.
Gangnam and more
