Customized cultural experience

This was a great way to get a taste of Seoul, culturally. From the main palace to classic street food to a traditional Korean neighborhood to Namsam and a joyous arts district in Insadong, this tour had it all! Our guide Juan was polite, personable, and helped to customize the experience to meet the group’s needs (kids to grandparent). The pace was just right, and we had sufficient time at each location, even if we skipped a few spots (eg, no tea tour) to do it. Spending more time and adjusting to the group were more important for this tour and very much appreciated! We ended the tour in Myeongdong, to bring us to our contemporary cultural experience. A great day overall! Especially loved the time at Namsam and Insadong

Great experience, go for it!

We had a lovely time on the small group highlight tour. It was just the five of us, in a comfortable van and the pacing of the tour was very relaxed and chill. Jun was a very informed guide and helped us get to know Seoul a little better, accomodating our requests for vegan food and also helping us communicate with the locals and get the most out of the experience. Would highly recommend this tour to hit a lot of the must see spots around Seoul in a short amount of time. Thank you to Jun!
