5.00Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He drove his own car, which was really nice, and we learned a lot about the sites as well as Korean culture. I'd recommend him to anyone who's looking for a tour! He also spoke English very well, which was helpful to us, as we don't speak Korean.

5.00I cannot say enough about what an amazing guide Sheen is! He did an incredible job taking us all around Seoul to places we were hoping to visit, and other sites that were a total surprise. Sheen is like a walking history book—we learned so much from all of the background he gave us about Korean history and culture! But most of all, we were touched by his incredible kindness throughout. We will definitely be coming back to this company the next time we are in Korea!

5.00Guide was very knowledgeable and flexible. Went to see a palace and Buddhist temple and the guide took us to great spots, taught us its detailed, and how the sites are used today. Very friendly, attentive, and accommodating, would recommend. Note, for our trip the guide did not receive communication from trip planning site Viatour, only WhatsApp, led to some confusion but was easily able to accommodate us and we had a great time.
Very knowledgeable guide,...
