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!).

Andrew was excellent. Very informative and knowledgeable about the history and culture of Seoul and South Korea. All of the locations he showcased were great experiences for first time visiting the country. He also helped navigate and explain the subway system which was a huge help for a first timer. Overall the tour was great and I would highly recommend.

Andrew was a great guide for our walking tour of Seoul. He picked us up from the hotel. Our first stop was an ATM which already was a hidden gem we wouldn’t have found by ourselves and it’s next to our hotel. :-) Due to Andrew’s previous job he had a lot of interesting insights that other tour guides may not be able to offer. We covered quite a few areas of Seoul on foot and using busses and trains. Andrew helped us understand the train and bus system, which was very helpful when we explored Seoul on our own during the rest of our stay in Seoul. For lunch, Andrew took us to a local restaurant that served some very delicious food including oyster pancakes and gimbap. Andrew took us to a great spot to take photos of the Gyeongbokgung Palace. We were able to avoid big crowds wherever we went. Highly recommended.
