Complete Freedom and flexibility
Personalised private tours give you total freedom and flexibility. The tour itinerary and schedule is entirely focused and planned around you.
More exclusivity
While group tours rely on buses filled with other travellers, private tours allow you to choose who will accompany you on your trip.
Special care and assistance
Having your own personal guide and transportation provides you with that extra special care and attention. This is especially helpful if you are travelling with young children, elderly relatives, disabled travellers, those with medical conditions, special needs or mobility issues.
Your own personal tap of local knowledge
Having your own personal guide means there is no competing with other travellers to get the attention of your guide or to have your questions answered. Instead, you’ll have access to a tap of local culture and knowledge.

This tour was everything we wished for! Alice showed us around the palace, traditional village, boeddhistic temple and as an extra we went to the traditional market. She was so kind, intelligent, witty and her English was impeccable! Thank you so much Alice for this wonderful day. ❤️

What a fabulous tour with Diane! We were up, down and all around. Such a great tour guide . We started out on the Namsan Cable Car and the tour just went up from there! We also saw Namsangol Hanok Village, Insadong Art & Street, Gyeongbokgung Palace and the Bukchon Hanok Village. All great with very helpful descriptions of the history and insights into the culture. Would recommend her any time!

We had a wonderful time with our tour guide, Alice, and our driver, Mr. Lee. They were professional, thoughtful, and attentive to our every need. Mr. Lee was the best driver and made us feel safe in the busy Seoul city traffic. Alice took time to explain the story behind every location that we visited. We were able to go at our own pace as we were traveling with an elderly mom and children. Highly recommend the tour!
