They need a minimum of 3-4 passengers or they cancel 24 hours before. While they were very Nice about it, didn't lane much time to book another tour

Our local guide, Soo, brought us to see so many places and even helped us find the areas we were looking for. Our time with him was very relaxed and we did not feel rushed even though we did so much! Definitely recommend and will return to do another tour with him.

Moon was an absolutely wonderful tour guide and truly set the tone for an unforgettable first day in Seoul. From the very beginning, he showed how much he cared about our experience—regularly checking in on each of us (we were a group of five) to make sure everyone was doing well and comfortable. I especially appreciated how thoughtful he was about pacing the day, always building in opportunities for bathroom breaks and making sure no one felt rushed. What made the experience even more special was that our group didn’t know each other at the start—but by the end of the tour, we genuinely felt like friends. That speaks so much to Moon’s ability to create a warm, welcoming, and fun environment for everyone. Our tour happened to fall on a national holiday, which could have easily made things hectic, but Moon handled everything with professionalism and ease. He kept everything running smoothly and on time, all while remaining kind, patient, and incredibly accommodating. Beyond being an excellent guide, he’s also an amazing driver—which made the entire experience feel even more safe and relaxed. We all agreed at the end that Moon did a fantastic job. I’m so grateful he was our guide—his skill, attentiveness, and warm personality made such a strong first impression of Seoul. Highly recommend!

I can’t believe how incredible our trip to South Korea was—seriously, this tour guide company made the whole experience feel effortless, fun, and deeply memorable. From the very first message, they were warm, organized, and clearly passionate about sharing their country with us. Every day was thoughtfully planned, but never felt rushed. We got the perfect mix of iconic sights, hidden gems, and local experiences that we never would’ve found on our own. Our guide explained the culture, history, and “why it matters” behind everything we saw, which made even the most famous places feel fresh and exciting. I learned so much—not in a boring way, but in a “wow, that’s amazing” way the entire time. The itinerary was also incredibly considerate. We had excellent pacing, smart travel planning, and helpful tips that made navigating Korea smooth and stress-free. On top of that, their communication was top-tier: clear instructions, quick responses, and genuine care throughout the trip. Most of all, it felt like we weren’t just touring—we were truly welcomed. The energy of the team was contagious, and our guide’s attention to detail showed in every small moment. By the end, we didn’t just feel like tourists—we felt like friends who’d spent quality time exploring a beautiful place together. If you’re even slightly on the fence about booking a tour in South Korea, don’t be. This company is the real deal. Book with them—you’ll laugh, you’ll discover, and you’ll leave wanting to go back immediately. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My husband and I had such a great day with Soo and three other guests on this personalised day tour of Seoul. Soo, who is the most personable and thoughtful guide, picked us up from our hotel in a 9-seater van and took us around all the top “must see spots” in Seoul as well as some of his own secret locations for the best pictures. We had fabulous food at the markets and due to Soo’s amazing timing skipped the lines for several attractions by arriving just prior to the rush. People knew him everywhere we went and he was able to accommodate special requests and make recommendations for vendors after the tour as well. I was interested in amethyst jewellery and hanbok rental. It wasn’t part of our itinerary but Soo showed us where to go - and where to have a fantastic Hanbok dress up and photo shoot for about $5.60 AUD!! This tour was a wonderful experience. Soo is a consummate guide who is passionate about sharing his country with others and ensuring his guests have a great experience. I understand he usually does private tours and the small tours are a new thing for his company . They deserve to do really well.

We had the best day put. Our guide Hun was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The whole day ran smoothly and we beat the crowds due to Huns knowledge of the attractions and areas. We would highly recommend if you want a fabulous day out sightseeing in the comfort of a luxury car with Hotel Pick up.
