If you want to see the city of Seoul through the eyes of a local, please book a tour with Jun. I can't say enough great things about Jun and the enjoyable day we had spending time with him on taking in the sites. First off, his English is excellent. He keeps in great contact with you prior to your booking and asks you specifically what you are most wanting to see and do while in Seoul. He picked us up promptly at our hotel and planned a fun filled day. First, we went to the Gyeongbokgung Palace to see the changing of the guard and palace grounds. He knew exactly where to stand and go afterwards for a photo with the guards. He then took us to the Seoul Sky Observatory and Cable Car. From there, we went for lunch at a local restaurant. He also drove us past the Gangnam District so I could take photos of the Starfield Library and Gangnam hands. The entire day was a pleasure and well worth your time and money spent. He is also a very careful driver.

We chose to tour Nami Island, Garden of Morning Calm , Starfield Library and Gangnam Style Statue. All are beautiful in its own way. I particularly love Nami Island and Garden of Morning Calm. The sheer beauty of both took my breath away! We had the pleasure of having Jun as our tour guide and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the start, his communication was clear, friendly, reassuring and engaging, which made everything feel smooth and well-organized. What truly set Jun apart, however, was his thoughtfulness and willingness to go above and beyond the typical role of a guide. He wasn’t just interested in showing us the sights; he genuinely cared about our experience, making sure we made the most of every moment without ever feeling rushed. A huge highlight was his effort in taking fantastic photos of my husband and I even took the time to capture great shots for us individually! It’s rare to find a guide who is both knowledgeable and attentive to personal touches. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Jun to anyone looking for a meaningful and enjoyable tour experience!

Tour of Seoul DMZ Nami Island and Garden of Morning Calm We booked 3 different tours with Jun, and it made our trip! Not only did we have one of the best trips we have ever taken anywhere, but we now have a lifelong friend. He’s extremely professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about so many aspects of Korean culture. We were incredibly fortunate to have been able to book 3 days with Jun! We had our first trip around Gwanghwamun square, from changing of the guard to the secret spots around the city, Jun gave us so many helpful hints that really enhanced our trip and knowledge. He told us the secret spots to get the best most authentic experiences. The DMZ tour was my personal highlight. Jun had a great passion for the tour and has immense knowledge of the topic! I love learning and understanding the history and major historical events that has led to the current state of affairs, and Jun not only knows the material and history well but can teach the subject in a way that makes it very easy to understand and remember for life. Nami Island he gave us the best tour! Such an amazing location with so many romantic spots. The Garden was also very beautiful and picturesque. Just a wonderful day. Jun is also a low-key amazing photographer! He took AMAZING photos of me and my girlfriend. She is pretty particular, and he got all the angles perfect! If she is satisfied, everyone is satisfied! Overall, Jun was truly the best guide we have ever had. I’m honored to have met him and I’m so thankful to have him as a friend. I’d recommend him to anyone! I can’t wait to spend more time in October and the many more times we come to Seoul and have a friend here.
