Great day with Sophia!

Sophia was fantastic! We were very lucky to have a private tour! Or a little crazy as we booked this in summer and its incredibly hot! The Hanbok experience was great, as was the beautiful palace and all the history behind it, which Sophia told in astonishing detail. She was so thoughtful with helping keep us as cool as possible and she made us fall in love with the place. We definitely have to return!

If you’re lucky enough to...

If you’re lucky enough to get Jun as your guide, you’re in for an incredible experience. He was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing Korea’s history and culture. As a solo traveler, I especially appreciated how welcoming he was & made the entire day feel comfortable and fun. I can’t recommend both this tour and Jun highly enough. Thank you for such an amazing day!

Our tour guide was named...

Our tour guide was named Jake he was a Korean local and a super kind sweet man. We got lucky and it was literally just my sister and I and we had a great time. Even though it was only us too he was thoughtful, kind and flexible. He made the experience, super enjoyable. Everything was easy to understand and all of our requests were met. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Korea, and maneuvering the streets of Seoul. I definitely recommend this tour!!

A great day in Seoul, Korea

Our tour of Seoul with Jake was absolutely first rate. We visited all of the really important spots in Seoul and our schedule allowed us to see all of the attractions from a very good vantage point. Jake had an impressive command of Korean history and his English was impressive also .There was not a single question he couldn’t answer. We recommend this tour highly and Tour guide Jake in particular.
