Paul was very knowledgeable and gave a very good foundation of Korean history and culture to build on for the rest of our stay in South Korea.

We had a wonderful time and tour with Thomas for our day in Seoul. It was a wet day and Thomas made it much more enjoyable with close drop offs in a private car to main sites and also provided umbrellas. As an added bonus he gave us a bunch of professional pictures to remember our tour. Highly recommend!

Our 1/2 day with Jiwan has been the highlight of our trip to Seoul .. we opted for a more Unstructured tour (myself and my 11 year old son) so we could go where the mood took us .. Jiwan was so knowledgeable, so friendly and my son was so sad when the tour finished :). We had street food, market shopping (Jiwan had even researched what my son might like to buy), help to navigate the metro, we really had a great time and would highly recommend Jiwan to anyone wanting a friendly knowledgeable tour guide (and his english was great as well!).

I could not be happier with my decision to book a private tour for my first day in Seoul. Jeeseon and I emailed and messaged back and forth before my arrival so that we could collaborate on an itinerary, based on my interests and “wish list” of things to see and do. Not only did she create an amazing itinerary to incorporate many items on my list, but then masterfully pivoted on a moment’s notice in order to catch the cherry blossoms on their last big day in bloom before the storms came in. We had an absolute blast! She showed me a fantastic mix of hidden gems and seemed to know just what I would like. She was so fun, organized, knowledgeable, and flexible. She had a lovely, positive energy, was incredibly patient with me, and looked after me closely (as I was a bit of a “lost child” on my first day in the city). I feel so lucky to have been paired with Jeeseon! She made my first day in Seoul so very memorable, and I would book a tour with her again in a heartbeat! My tour experience was a 10/10!!
