This tour was a waste. We did not learn anything about KPop or culture, our guide pointed out very few sights and gave little information. I had to ask to add some a stop that probably should have been part of the tour. Don’t waste your money - a huge rip off to have someone walk with us for 3 hours.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We're sorry this tour didn't meet your expectations. This tour is primarily designed as a city walk experience, focusing on letting guests freely explore Seoul's streets and feel the local atmosphere in their everyday context. We understand you were hoping for more site commentary and detailed information. Your suggestion about adding stops that should have been part of the itinerary is valuable feedback that we'll take seriously and consider for future improvements.
I went with my family on this tour (my wife and two girls aged 11 and 15). All 4 of us were very happy. We saw many places that, if we had gone without a guide, we simply would not have seen. It is a very worthwhile tour and you get to know a very bohemian and beautiful part of Seoul. We ended the tour with a beautiful snowfall in the Korean forest. Finally, our guide Charlie Choi is a really excellent guide and person. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your positive review, we hope we could provide our service again in near future.
Interesting and insightful walking tour experiencing a different side of Seoul not usually known to tourists. Sally the guide was very knowledgeable and gave an good narration on the history of Seongsu-dong area. Both my teen daughters also enjoyed the tour to SM Entrainment building, albeit at the lobby only.
Thank you for supporting us! Hope you had a nice experience
On our way to Dumulmeori, all he said was, "We will be having hotdogs." We had to Google to know the significance of the place, and why the locals flock there. He did not even say that the hotdog had lotus powder, and he bought ours in the stand nearest to the parking lot, not the one where everyone lined up for. When we went to see the pink grass, he asked if we wanted to wait 40 mins for the golf cart or walk 15 mins to the site. He did not mention that the walk involved 290+ steps uphill!!! One of our elderly guests did not get to go to the site perhaps for health reasons. Still, he could have arranged for him to ride the next golf cart. And then, on the way back to the shuttle, he rudely hurried us up AND EVEN RODE BEFORE EVERYONE was in the golf cart! The grass wasn't so pink (we went 1st week October). Anyway, if you want a hassle free transportation to both sites, I think this tour would be sufficient for that. But don't expect anything beyond that.
Hi,could you kindly provide the reservation number so that we are able to check what's wrong and solve the problems? Because as we know there's no one from Tripadvisor who join this tour on 10/8. Thank you and wish you a wonderful day.
