The best guide for Seoul
Published on Nov, 2024
My flight got delayed in 3h, leaving me with only 3-4 hours to visit Seoul. Ahn Ji-hoon’s experience made a huge difference. He adapted the tour to allow me to have a great feel of the city with the time I had. He knew exactly where to go to avoid traffic, where to park, and at the end of these hours I had almost 200 pictures of everything I saw!!! He is very kind, knowledgeable and great in sharing his perception about this beautiful country. I feel blessed to have found such a great guide. I’m more of an independent explorer, but I’m glad I hired him to spend the day with me. I would send all my friends and family to tour Seoul with him.
The best tour I have ever experienced.

Sori Kim was amazing! When the tour got flooded out for the DMZ, she took us to some amazing places to see like the palace, the food market, some very old sections of town with 600-year-old homes, a great shopping center, and then an athletic Korean tea ceremony.
