What a wonderful way to get our bearings, learn about the beautiful city, and see some gorgeous sights in a half day personal tour. Jay was fantastic and super knowledgeable and personable. He really made our first day in Seoul special and catered to our interests and took us to the best spots and took amazing photos for us-thank you Jay!! I would definitely recommend anyone coming to Seoul to start off with this.
