Experience the best of
South Korea with Withlocals

"We had a genuin wonderful time with Juli, she took good care of us as she guided us through narrow streets and showed us some hidden gems. Always two steps ahead she made sure we hade a good experience. There were many different amazing dishes, and a lot of food. Thanks!"

"Rossi took four of us from Canada on a day long DMZ tour. He is excellent, and I highly recommend him. I have used many private guides around the world, and he is one of the best. He is knowledgeable and personable with excellent English. It was very easy to communicate with him in advance. He was incredibly helpful in arranging the tour and flexible during the day. He made us all comfortable, and we had a great experience. Highly recommend him if you are looking for an awesome guide in Seoul."

"We had only a limited amount of time in Seoul, and this tour was exactly what we were looking for. Christina showed us all the most important highlights in a short time and explained everything in great detail. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to adapt the tour to our wishes and interests. We really appreciated her flexibility and the personal touch she brought to the experience. We highly recommend Christina to anyone visiting Seoul, especially if you want to make the most of a short stay!"

"Ho Jin is an exceptional guide and a lovely human. We had a great time on our tour and learned so much about Korean culture and history. We have used With Locals all over the world, and Ho Jin is representative of the high quality of guides we have met along the way. "

" We had an outstanding experience with Thomas! From the start, he was kind, professional, and always helpful. His knowledge of history, culture, and local attractions was excellent, and he shared it in an engaging way. He was punctual, organized our itinerary perfectly, and made the most of our limited time so we could see all the key places without wasting time. We especially appreciated his attention to detail and care throughout the tour. He also took amazing photos of us, knowing the best spots and angles to capture great memories. His professionalism and friendliness made the trip even better. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and organized guide. Thank you for a memorable experience!"

"We really enjoyed our food tour with Juli. The food was really good and interesting, and Juli found us food that fitted our diets. We tried food and drinks that we would not have dared to try on our own. Juli was also really interesting to talk to and knows a lot about Korean history and politics. "

"I would definitely recommend Kevin. He was passionate, knowledgeable and very gentle. His car was comfortable too. We booked a private tour with him to the DMZ just less than 2 days before without any idea that tickets needed to be bought in advance. There was no ticket available, but Kevin kept looking out until he found tickets for us to get in last minute. Thank you so much! Before we drove off to the Imjingak, Kevin took us to the War Memorial for me and the children to learn a bit more about the Korean War. I thought that was a brilliant idea. My children 11 and 14 had a lot of questions and was thrilled to see the DMZ and a glimpse of North Korea afterwards. We thoroughly enjoyed this fun and meaningful trip. "

"Juli was very knowledgeable about any and all Korean history we asked her about. We toured Changdeokgung Palace and she took her time explaining the different areas and their purpose to us. After the palace she took us to a bulgogi restaurant and this was our favorite meal in Korea. Juli was a highlight of our trip to Korea!"

"I booked with Hojin for my father as I was spending the majority of the day enjoying the advanced technologies of South Korea’s beauty tourism industry; and, since I’m traveling with my father, of course it would be boring and unfair for him to be stuck indoors while I had all the fun. My father is also 85 years old, so a private tour was definitely necessary for his benefit and ability to hear and engage with a guide. The second I reconnected with my father later in the day, he could not stop raving about what a phenomenal time he had! Hojin was professional, completely fluent, took care and time to get to know my father. They talked about Korea and about everything else like old friends. I am so grateful that we connected and that my dad was able to have such an incredible and memorable experience!!!"

"Thomas is an outstanding, knowledgeable guide who went out of his way to ensure my 16 year old son and I experienced the incredible culture and history of Seoul all in a day! He crafted a careful itinerary after consulting us before we arrived what are goals were so we could make the most of our time. He took us to both popular, well-known locations and a few off the beaten path which we appreciated very much. He was careful, attentive, and ensured we were comfortable throughout. His stories, knowledge, and enjoyment in seeing first-time visitors discover Seoul was evident and he is a wonderful ambassador! We will be taking another tour with him next week to the DMZ and are looking forward to it!"
