VIP Full Day Seoul Private Sightseeing Tour Fully Custom to You
Description
Complete Freedom and flexibility Personalised private tours give you total freedom and flexibility. The tour itinerary and schedule is entirely focused and planned around you. More exclusivity While group tours rely on buses filled with other travellers, private tours allow you to choose who will accompany you on your trip. Special care and assistance Having your own personal guide and transportation provides you with that extra special care and attention. This is especially helpful if you are travelling with young children, elderly relatives, disabled travellers, those with medical conditions, special needs or mobility issues. Your own personal tap of local knowledge Having your own personal guide means there is no competing with other travellers to get the attention of your guide or to have your questions answered. Instead, you’ll have access to a tap of local culture and knowledge.

We were picked up at our accommodation by coco and time in a very comfortable van for the 3 of us. Coco was so helpful making sure we saw everything without the crowds and getting us in so quick. The highlight was on the viewing platform looking out to NK and see the locals there working in the fields. Cove made sure we got to the viewing platform so quickly before the crowds. Thanks coco!!
