10/10 - Best experience ever thanks to Joe!

Published on Mar, 2025

If you’re thinking about booking this private tour, you MUST. First time visiting Soeul, and we had Joe as our driver, and he truly made our day a special one to remember. Constantly going out of his way to give us the best experience possible. Great recommendations for activities and food spots, amazing photographer that always knew where the best photo spots were, and the friendliest guide we have ever had. We were able to fit into our day the activities we had requested, as well as more! Please if you’re coming for a visit book this and request Joe, was such a great and fun day that everyone should experience.

Best winter ever!

Published on Mar, 2025

Mr Kevin was our tourguide for 3 days during our stay in Korea. He was well organized, was on time and very professional. I will recommend him as tourguide in Korea. 5 stars for him. We had so much time during our vacation.

Helpful and kind

Published on Feb, 2025

Joe was very kind to drive me from Incheon Airport to my destination in Pyeongtaek, with extended stops along the way to walk and talk through the UNESCO site Hwaesong Fortress and the nearby museum about the fortress which is well worth some time. We also stopped for lunch in a small, local spot; lunch was delicious. Joe also, at my request, helped me see up a T money card. A kind and helpful gentleman.

Kevin Went Above and Beyond - Best Guide Ever!

Published on Feb, 2025

Kevin is actually the best guide I’ve ever had. From beginning to end, he was incredible—kind, funny, fun, and extremely accommodating. When my brother unexpectedly got sick during the tour, Kevin immediately stepped in to make sure he was okay and comfortable. We also wanted to change our plans, and Kevin was more than happy to adjust everything for us. We had an unforgettable time with Kevin, and to top it off, he sent us some restaurant recommendations after the tour, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Thanks for an amazing experience, Kevin! You made this trip special!

Amazing private tour provider in Seoul!

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a fantastic day visiting the DMZ with Joe, who was super flexible and taught us a lot about Korea, its history and its people.
