5.00I joined the Street Photo Shoot & History Walk last night and I am so glad I did! Our guide was very considerate, he picked me up where I was because I was late for a few mins. The other guide, Jacob, was not only a talented photographer but also a great storyteller — sharing fascinating pieces of Korean history and culture as we explored the streets. I loved how the shoot felt casual and fun, not overly posed, and the photos beautifully captured both the night lights and authentic moments.
Highly recommend this tour!!

We got to explore a lot of hidden gems and learned a lot about history of Seoul that otherwise would not have known.

5.00This was an incredible experience in so many ways! Between James’s knowledge of photography and his translation of Jacob’s historical information. This tour is well worth it and a top 3 highlight of my time in Seoul. Seriously the photography knowledge and insight is priceless. In addition to that, knowing the locals James and Jacob and their personalities are dynamic. You are given the opportunity to meet two of the nicest people I’ve ever met. They are incredible and I can only say amazing things about this tour. You will not be disappointed and will leave with the best photography of the trip and having met two funny and dynamic individuals!
