5.00James and Jacob were amazing. The combination of history with picturesque spots fo beautiful pictures was amazing to experience. I wanted to have some pictures taken with my diploma after having graduated from university not long ago, and they were helpful and accommodating with that. I’m so happy with the images and the overall experience. Seoul was the perfect place to celebrate my graduation, and these pictures are an excellent way to remember a lovely experience. Thank you so much!
Photos are amazing

5.00James and Jacob were great guides. James taught us a lot about the history of the places and made it really fun! I usually don’t like pictures of myself too much but Jacob really took amazing photos. We were a small group of 4 so it wasn’t overwhelming for me. As a female solo traveller I really enjoyed the whole experience.
Excellent tour!

Best walk around Seoul

5.00My tour was on a rainy day and I was so glad I didn’t cancel. James and Jacob provided a historical glimpse into Seoul that tourists would never easily stumble upon in their own. The rain provided some beautiful photos using my umbrella and reflections off the streets. They really made the experience worth it no matter the weather.
Worth it Photoshoot! ✨

5.00Highly recommend this photoshoot! Since I was solo, it felt like a personalized private tour. They took me to hidden spots and quiet alleys away from the crowds that most tourists wouldn't find. James, the historian, shared such cool background stories and history of the places we visited. And the photographer, Jacob, knew all the best angles and took great shots. Both were super friendly and informative, perfect if you want amazing photos and a deep dive into Korea's history! It felt like time passed by so quickly too. Thanks again for the amazing experience! ✨
Solo travel!

5.00I had an amazing time on this two-hour walking tour in Seoul! Our guides—a historian and a photographer—were the perfect team. The historian shared fascinating stories about the city’s past, while the photographer helped us capture great shots at iconic spots. It was both educational and fun, and I left with a deeper appreciation of Seoul and some beautiful photos to remember it by. Highly recommend!

5.00The tour was awesome. I have never had this much fun learning about history as with James. We were also able to learn quite a bit from Jacob with his experience. The two of them made the trip a really unique and fun experience.
Perfect Blend of History and Fun

5.00We did the Street Photoshoot & Seoul Hidden Gem History Walking Tour with James and Jacob, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. James struck the perfect balance of history, storytelling, and humor, engaging even for my 10 year old daughter. The photoshoot was such a fun bonus, and Jacob made everything feel natural and easy. We loved exploring neighborhoods we wouldn’t have found on our own, and now we have beautiful photos to remember them by. Both were warm, professional, patient, and incredibly fun and easygoing. Highly recommend if you want meaningful sightseeing plus great keepsake photos
