Excellent and interesting historical guide of the Palace and local area.

Published on Dec, 2024

A wonderful and very interesting tour. Would definitely recommend it. Our Korean english speaking guide was excellent and made you feel very at ease. She provided a lot of interesting historical facts and took lots of photos for us. Thank you Stella!

Memorable tour with Joe

Published on Nov, 2024

We were very lucky to find ourselves in the company of Joe, the wonderful tour guide of our tour. He was a great storyteller, very knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions we had. The tour was well timed and has a great pace and amount of information we got in 3hrs. Joe was incredibly hospitable and made sure we had a memorable experience in Seoul. I highly recommend this tour!

Interesting and educational walking tour.

Published on Oct, 2024

Stella was friendly and very knowledgeable. I enjoyed the walk. She knew great places to take photos. I highly recommend a walking tour but wear comfortable shoes.

Stella is definitely recommended for an engaging tour guide experience

Published on Oct, 2024

Our tour guide, Stella, gave us a wonderfully informative, well-paced, and memorable tour. She gave each group member a clever set of earphones that amplified her voice, allowing us to hear her clearly while we walked at our own pace, as long as we stayed close to her. Without her tour guidance, it would have not been practical for us to understand the valuable historical, traditional, architectural and cultural significance of the places we visited. Midway through the tour, Stella was sweet enough to treat us to a refreshing afternoon coffee / ice-cream, as we were part of a large group. I believe Stella provides both group and individual tours. I'd definitely recommend Stella and her company for anyone who's looking for an engaging, organised, and passionate tour guide experience.

Extra mile and excellent history

Published on Jul, 2024

Joe was a fantastic guide, he picked us up as it was raining and drove us to a couple of places that were not on the tour. He was very knowledgeable and I learnt a lot about Korean history. My son loved all the 'heads chopped' stories. The sun did end up coming out for us so we were able to walk around and look at the palace and the village.
