My reviews
-
Had a great time with Jeeseon. She is very knowledgeable and dependable. I had requested that we go to some off-the-beaten path places in Seoul and she set up a great itinerary. I was dealing with a recent back injury and had some mobility issues and she was very flexible. I would highly recommend her services.

Jeeseon was a great tour guide! She told me a lot about the history, she took pictures of me in front of iconic spots, she answered all my questions thoughtfully, and she helped me in the Korean shops buy some goods I was looking for. I would 100% book her again the next time I'm in the city, if I am looking for a custom tour!
