Very informative and well organized tour!

Published on Jul, 2024

We took this tour as our first day of our 6-day trip to get to know Seoul, and we are so happy with our tour guide BK! Everything was right on time. BK explained all the historic details of each place we visited. We feel like we know all about the Joseon dynasty in just a 6-hour time spent with BK! Lunch was included and it was very good! BK warned there would be lots of walking to explore temples and palaces, but it was the right amount for a 66-year old like me. Thank you, BK, for a great tour! I highly recommended BK as your tour guide! Catherine
