Kim was fantastic! So friendly and just joy to be with for the day: very knowledgeable and engaging on all matters, encouraging to interact with the tour (there was a cool number of media-interactive parts). All visits were a blast, i could appreciate a bit more time inside KBS, even to learn more about history of k-wave but I guess as this is a TV station, time needs to be limited. Very cool experience

Great experience with lot of information and lot of different great places ! We can visit so many places that are related to Hallyu and the time given for each place is perfect ! My favorite place was Hikground

Our tour guide was Ms. Kim as she preferred we call her, and she was absolutely amazing! She understood and spoke English very well and had a great sense of humor! Our first stop was the KBS building. While I enjoyed my time there, I sincerely wish that I had a friend with me so we could both try out the different activities that were available. I did not catch a glimpse of any idols walking around so that was unfortunate, but it was also to be expected so I’m not too disappointed. Next we went to HiKR Ground where, again, I wish I had a friend to have fun with and even cursed my own shyness to join in on the Kpop dancing happening. However, I enjoyed the Peach Lemon Black Tea and Red Bean and Cream Donut I got from Knotted on the 5th floor, so I was happy! We moved along to Coex where I got to take a picture of the Starfield Library (I work at a library so I just had to) and enjoyed a Bulgogi pizza for lunch, and I decided that I will need to bring my friend here next time I return to Korea on our own time to hopefully not get lost while we shop till we drop! Ms. Kim took us to Ktown4u where I bought a few of my favorite groups’ albums before she showed us the wall of handprints from SM artists, so of course I had to take a picture with the one from BoA! Our final stop was SM Kwangya where I did not buy anything despite liking several of the company’s groups, but I took some pictures of the cool floor panels they had. Ms. Kim even informed us that a certain building of apartments close by housed Taemin from SHINee which was one of the first groups that got me into the music, so that was very cool! I was surprised to hear that Ms. Kim actually starred in music videos and dramas before becoming a tour guide, so she definitely became one of my most favorite guides during this whole 2-week trip! She is utterly magnificent!

This tour was amazing! Kim was our guide and she was fantastic. My friends and I kept talking about how much we enjoyed this tour and how it made our experience in Korea even better. I definitely recommend!
