Superb tour, expertly guided

5.00Excellent tour, really informative around the Gyeongbokgung Palace where we were right on time for the 10:00 ceremony, the Bukchon Hanok Village where Sheen took us via a less busy track and finally the fantastic Gwangjang Market where one could stay for hours. Throughout he took some great photos of us too. Highly recommend.

5.00Highly recommend this tour. We had so much fun on this activity. Sheen was very knowledgeable and shared interesting background on the sites we visited. The food tour was a nice break in the middle, go hungry it’s a lot! We loved visiting the temple at night to see it all lit up.
Great tour!

5.00Eliott was an exceptional tour guide. His enthusiasm about the history of Korea helped us to enjoy our day immensely. He was prompt, organized, professional and incredibly friendly. My daughter and I made a new friend. His extraordinary depth of knowledge about Korean history made us hunger to go home and learn more. Throughout the day, he constantly checked in to insure our needs were met. Wherever we went, he took the initiative to make sure our time was well spent. I highly recommend him to anyone who's looking for a top tier tour guide.
Private Day trip

5.00We had a wonderful day out with Sheen a lovely young man who picked us up from our hotel. Communication was easy and we planned our day together. For various reasons several of the usual landmarks were closed on this day but we were happy to go off the usual tourist route and follow his recommendations. We did not want to do towers and temples and he understood this perfectly. We really appreciated Sheen’s commitment to ensuring we had the best experiences while learning some of the complex history of Korea. I would highly recommend him for a day trip.

5.00Booking a private tour gave us the flexibility to change the itinerary based on weather conditions and to different sites we wished to visit and experience! Our guide, Elliott, was an awesome guide, very informative, and patient with us as we tried many different new experiences we had requested (such as renting a hanbok to visit the Gyeongbokgung Palace, and eating Yukhoe and TangTang-i at Gwangjang Market)! He was our “sherpa,” carrying our bags so that we could take photos, our personal “tour guide,” guiding us through crowds, taking us to popular spots in the market, and driving us to see extra sites from the car beyond what we had expected! And he was also our “historian,,“ as our guide had a great depth of knowledge in the history of Korea. Our recommendation would be to bring a quality umbrella and wear clothing suited for rainy days, including water resistant footwear. However, our guide was very attentive to making sure we were comfortable and helped us with our failing umbrellas we had brought from the hotel.
