It was an amazing experience and our Guide AJ was very knowledgeable and very accommodating. She made sure that everyone is comfortable inspite of the cold. Will recommend this tour to friends.

Thank you BK !

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide BK offered us an amazing tour all around Seoul while giving historical background and fun facts about each stop. The tour was well organized, we had time to appreciate the landscapes, take pictures and take breaks when needed. The meal also very good (with options for vegetarians). I truly recommend this experience to all kinds of visitors.

All perfect

Today we visited Seoul with our guide, Joonie. She has been really attentive and helpful, providing much information about Seoul and Korea. We have enjoyed the journey with her, the places were quite beautiful and interesting. She even helped us to collect some money from a local ATM. Thanks for everything Joonie! :)

Very very good
