Terrific service for custom Korea trip

Published on Mar, 2024

Rob and Ruth helped us arrange multiple aspects of our two week trip. They did a great job helping us set upp tours and rides all over the country, and answering about a million questions. They also were flexible with our schedule alterations. Really appreciate the help they gave us yo make a great trip. I strongly recommend them to anyone wanting to plan and customise a trip to Korea. Also, Kory took us on two days of sightseeing around Seoul. He was an excellent and fun guide and a good driver! We learned a lot and enjoyed spending time with him. Also a strong recommendation!

Awesome and personalbe

Sunny day in Seoul

Published on Oct, 2022

Our tour guide, Judy, handled our day with efficiency ensuring we visited all the sites on the itinerary without ever feeling rushed. She was pleasant, friendly and joyful. We were going to be in Seoul for three more days and even gave us tips on things to do the other days! We really enjoyed her and when we return, we will surely look her up!

Pam was a great tour guide

Published on Jun, 2022

I had the honor of meeting Pam yesterday June 15, 2022. I was picked up and dropped back off to my hotel which was relieving. Pam helped me understand the public transit system as I will be here for a couple of months and really explained how to read the maps and pay attention to where the buses/subways are going. Although it was raining, we still were able to visit a lot of spots such as Gyeongbokgong Palace, Hanok Village, Insadong, and many more places. I was able to learn a lot of the history behind each of the places. I also was able to see some of the filming locations from Goblin. I really enjoyed having Pam as my tour guide as she was extremely friendly and easy to talk to.

Seoul in a day with Pam as tour guide is great

Published on Apr, 2022

This was my first overseas trip out of the US ever. I wanted a guide to help me with questions I had that only a local would know the answer to. I booked a tour with Pam Kim under the "Seoul in a Day: Private Van + Guide". The sign up process was very straightforward on their website. I was contacted later in the day by Albert to confirm the booking. Pam and the driver Mr. Il arrived earlier so they could find the residence I was staying at. She actually revealed to me that this was her first tourist since covid and first tour given in a year (the other tours were given to business people). She also said she had tears in her eyes at the train station because of this. I'm glad to be the first out of what I hope to be many as covid subsides. She and the driver were both very friendly and professional. She was knowledgeable not only in the historical facts but she also answered questions I had about how modern Koreans live and the issues they face today. I had the recommended iterinary and we had time to squeeze in the Noryangjin fish market. All in all it was a fun, memorable day. I had told her I planned to stay in Korea for another week and a half. At the end of the tour she was kind enough to offer to answer any questions I had while I was still here. I have asked her multiple questions afterwards on Kakaotalk about food so far.
