Our guide Paul was extremely knowledgeable in the culture and sights of Seoul. He was also very flexible with our schedule and what we wanted to see. We wanted to try Korean street food which was not on our original itinerary and he showed us a fabulous culinary experience.

August 2023

Michael D
He explained the context of what we were doing (ie. history and personal experience). He found an incredible Vegan restaurant for a unique experience.

We toured Seoul as a layover tour with Oki, and we loved it! Oki took the time to figure out our personal preferences and helped clarify the navigation directions so we could spend the most time exploring the city. We would definitely request another tour with Oki!
