Amazing tour guide and amazing day

Published on Jul, 2024

We had an absolutely amazing time and our tour guide Jake Kwon was WONDERFUL My sister and I rented hanbok and he fit it into our schedule so well and also gave us some information on the history of hanbok. We learned so so much on our tour due to his incredible knowledge on Korean history. We went to an amazing BBQ restaurant which I felt I should add. Jake was also so respectful and accommodating. He was so courteous of the locals especially in the Bukchon Hannok village, making sure other groups knew to be quiet. He even helped my dad down steps as my dad had just had knee replacement surgery. Jake also would look for shady areas and even would walk and get the van himself so we wouldn’t have to. This gave us more time to explore and kept us from getting too hot which we were so thankful for. I also wanted to add he was very nice when my brother (10) got sick and even offered to take him to the hospital while we did the cable cars (which was not necessary because he just had too much ice cream but was a very generous offer). I would SO recommend our tour guide Jake Kwon as well as the tour itself it was a must-see for Seoul visitors!!

If you’re going to Seoul this is the tour guide you want!

We had the most incredible experience with our tour guide, Harry! He went above and beyond to ensure our private tour was unforgettable. Not only did he accommodate our extra family members last minute, but he also tailored the experience perfectly to our interests. Harry's knowledge of Seoul's history and traditional spots for food and shopping items was impressive. He even took stunning photos of us throughout the day, showcasing his hidden talent as a photographer. Thank you, Harry, for an unforgettable day we couldn't have asked for a better guide!

Knowledgeable and friendly tour guide

We enjoyed our time with Sophia on our day tour through Seoul. She gave us a great tour with great detail and some fantastic hidden places. She also brought us to a fantastic restaurant to enjoy local food.

GREAT itinerary, very organized tour company, and even Greater guide

Published on Aug, 2023

I was traveling with my family of 8, including 2 adults, 4 teens, and my elderly inlaws. The private tour with hotel pick up and drop off made it very convenient and easy. We received a email 3 days before and asked if we have any special requests since it is a private tour and if we like to add and remove any stops and gave us local contact info to reach the tour company directly. Our guide, Vincent, showed up early, in a beautiful late model van in our hotel and greeted us with a big smile and spoke in perfect English. He was knowledgeable with the route and explained all the history and significance with every sites and even helped us take beautiful family photos. We visited all the must see spots and had a great time for the full 9 hours. He made suggestions on where to take rests for my inlaws and always dropped off and picked up at the entrance of the sites since my inlaws have difficulties walking, and suggested we have traditional Korean ginseng chicken soup instead of BBQ with the over 100 F weather. He then went above and beyond when my inlaws were too tired by mid afternoon, drove them back to the hotel before the rest of us continue on and helped us locate a pharmacy that have the purified water that they needed for their breathing machine. If you are visiting Seoul with your family, you must join this tour and ask for Vincent. Price is very reasonable as compared to the big bus tour group, which is less personalized and not flexible. Thanks again for making our trip to Seoul memorable.

It rained, but our guide...

Published on Apr, 2023

It rained, but our guide had many other suggestions for us to do. Lunch was amazing and our guide was so helpful. He also made sure to continually ask and incorporate things we wanted to see and do that weren’t listed.
