Phenomenal Guide -Highly Recommend Joyce for Discerning Travelers

Joyce was phenomenal. Kind and informative - my only regret was not booking a full day tour with Joyce. If I had known what an incredibly smart, thoughtful and considerate guide she would be, I would have booked a full day tour. There is so much to do in Seoul - I would recommend scheduling a full day tour with Joyce.

Operator response

Thank you for your phenomenal review! We are so thrilled to hear that Joyce’s thoughtful and smart guidance left such a lasting impression. We truly appreciate your kind words about her being a considerate guide. It is the best compliment to hear that you wished for more time with us! Next time you visit Seoul, we would love to host you for a full-day tour to explore even more together. We look forward to welcoming you back for another incredible journey!

Joyce Made a Perfect Afternoon Feel Like Hanging Out with a New Friend!

Joyce turned our private 4 hour adventure into the highlight of my trip to Korea! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the palaces, temple, and those amazing hidden local spots, but what really won me over was her fun energy and how she made everything feel like a casual hangout with a friend. We even took the most delightful detour walking along the creek, and she was so flexible she happily made sure we had time to hunt for the perfect gift for my wife. Joyce just knew all the right places, kept the conversation going the whole time, and at the end she made sure I got on the right subway like a true buddy looking out for me. I left feeling like I’d made a real new friend highly recommend Joyce for anyone wanting a perfect mix of culture, food, laughs, and genuine warmth!

Great experience for family and kids!

We are first time visitors to Seoul and had a great time with Gina as our guide. She took time to get to know my 10 year old daughter and suggested places to visit and eat based on her interests. Our entire family had a great time and we highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Seoul!

Best experience of my Seoul trip!

If you want a tour that caters to your needs rather than generic sight seeing, then I highly recommend this! Ms moon went above and beyond what most guides have done in the past. She catered to my goals and needs and picked out things that I would never have done myself. Once over, she helped me arrange an itinerary for things for me to see for the rest of the week. If you are thinking about doing this tour, I recommend doing it as soon as possible. The rest of your trip will go much easier. And ask for ms moon! Luckily she can be fit into your schedule. Well worth it!

Wonderful Experience with Clara!

Clara was an amazing tour guide with us…to be honest we felt like we were with a friend who had extensive historical knowledge. We had such a great experience…she took plenty of photos of us, brought us to picturesque sites with unique insights…Let us move at our own pace, kept us engaged and safe. I honestly believe the experience with Clara will be the highlight of this trip for us. Thank you Clara for the street fish shaped dessert snacks and being such a beautiful person inside and out. Also had to add a hoorah for BTS Army …because we shared plenty of anecdotes! Best Regards…& with Utmost Gratitude.
