This was a fantastic tour! Our tour guide Paul got in touch a few days prior to the tour to confirm where and when to meet and to ensure that we were prepared for the chilly weather. We had no expectations of the day - so asked that he advise us of what we should see. He was fabulous - discussed the history and culture of Korea - and was open to all of our questions (history, culture, politics, religion, day to day life). We saw some amazing sights - and fabulous views. We learnt how to use the local subway (very efficient!). Paul suggested lunch in a local market - with some delicious food. In terms of practicalities - he had good suggestions of clean and comfortable ladies toilets to use during the day (much appreciated). Overall - a fantastic day with a great guide!

Oki was a very personable and professional guide. She was able to tell me a lot about the history of Seoul in South Korea, and we visited several night spots in Seoul: Namsan Tower, Gwahamun square, and Gwangjang market.

Oki was a superb host that had thorough knowledge of the City. She was swift on email with the itinerary of the day so I could have the chance to add more cultural spots, which I was looking more for. I ended the day with an in depth understanding of Korea’s rich history as well as into the modern Korea, which I was fortunate enough to experience on this trip. Oki even met me at my location, since I was quite confused with the local meetings options! She even recommended future places I should visit on my next trip to Korea. I highly recommend Oki! A+
