My daughter and I loved our time! We are thankful (in advance) for the pictures … but surprisingly really enjoyed the history shared! Well done - a highlight of our stay in Korea!
Andrew and Jacob were amazing! They were professional, knowledgeable, and so much fun to spend time with. The morning flew by because I enjoyed every minute of it. This was one of the highlights of my trip to Korea. Learning about the history while wearing a beautiful hanbok and taking memorable photos made the experience truly unforgettable. I felt very welcomed and had such a wonderful time. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Korea. It was absolutely fantastic!
This experience was SO much fun. Not only did we look and feel like we were straight out of a Kdrama, James, Andrew, and Jacob taught us history about the palace and were hilarious. We haven’t received our photos yet but are so excited to get them back as the previews on the camera already were amazing. Thanks NERDSO!!!
James was a great guide and photographer! He brought us to see many things we wouldn’t have otherwise seen and we learned a lot about Korean culture. We also had fun taking some photos! 10/10 would recommend James.
The Seoul Hidden Gem Tour was such a pleasant experience. Our guide Ricky was amazing and really knowledgeable. James was our photographer, but he was also able to tell you a lot about the history. Basically, the perfect duo. You can also enjoy wonderful conversations with fellow travelers I would gladly do this tour again⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A heartfelt thank you to our tour organisers and guide for the wonderful historical insight and the warmth throughout the time and the engaging conversations and amazing photographs they captured for us. 감사합니다 Highly recommended.
Such a great way to spend an evening, especially if travelling alone! Not your typical walking tour as our 2 very lovely, cheerful guides made it interesting and took us to parts of Seoul that I largely missed in the other times I've been here. Loved that they guided you a bit with the poses, too! 😁
This is such a cool format of guided tours: two guides, one tells you about the place you’re visiting and the other takes your pictures while you’re exploring the place. Wish there were more offers like this.
James and Jacob were amazing. The combination of history with picturesque spots fo beautiful pictures was amazing to experience. I wanted to have some pictures taken with my diploma after having graduated from university not long ago, and they were helpful and accommodating with that. I’m so happy with the images and the overall experience. Seoul was the perfect place to celebrate my graduation, and these pictures are an excellent way to remember a lovely experience. Thank you so much!
Really good! James was so kind and the photos turned out so good. I learned a lot about the area and how Korea modernized till today.
