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.

It was well organized and Emily did a great job adjusting when situation changed. For example, the cable car to Seoul Tower shut down for high winds. Emily got us on a public bus to the top of the she was a great communicator as well.

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. ❤️
