"We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Kevin as our tour guide in Seoul. From the moment we met him, he was incredibly kind, welcoming, and patient, making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire tour.
Kevin’s knowledge of Seoul, its history, culture, and hidden gems was exceptional. He shared so many interesting stories and insights that we never would have discovered on our own. He also took the time to answer all of our questions thoughtfully and never made us feel rushed.
What really stood out was how accommodating and attentive he was to our needs, ensuring we were enjoying ourselves and keeping the tour running smoothly. His warm personality and genuine passion for showing people around Seoul made the experience even more memorable.
We would highly recommend Kevin to anyone visiting Seoul and looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and professional guide. Thank you, Kevin, for helping make our trip so special!

"We visited the DMZ with Thomas and had a fantastic day. Thomas was punctual, very knowledgeable and a great guide. I would highly recommend Thomas to anyone visiting Seoul. "
"We spent an evening with Rossi and it ended up feeling more like hanging out with a friend than a guided tour. We made special requests to explore Korean drinking customs and to try specific local foods that we were interested in. Rossi made a fantastic itinieary and really went above and beyond to make an amazing experience for us! "
"We had a great time with Ho Jin! We had time for several different stops and the tour never felt rushed. The kickstart tour is a fantastic way to get to know the area and ask any questions you might have. Ho Jin is very knowledgeable and easy going. Highly recommend! "
"We had an amazing night out for drinks and snacks with Rossi. He really tailored the tour for us, it was more than what we could have hoped for! We even got to taste dishes we had been looking for but hadnt found on our own. But best of all was his company, he is really nice and the hours flew by! 100% would do it again, we will book Rossi again next time were in Seoul :)"
"We had Ho Jin as our guide on a city tour for two hours. He told us a lot of interesting historical facts about Seoul, and he was really nice and laid back (in a positive way!). We enjoyed his company and would absolutely book him again!"
"Had an amazing time around Seoul markets trying amazing and different food. Juli was super energetic and up for anything! She made the experience much better. We had some of the best food ever, Juli really knew the best spots!"
