Experience the best of Seoul with Withlocals

"Having traveled the world and exposed to many guides, Ho Jin is by far the best we’ve ever had. His knowledge of Seoul & South Korea both today & historically helped us have a better perspective. His excellent commend of the English language was important for our understanding. We did two tours -DMZ & tour of Seoul. He took us to some site that I would have never thought about but they made our understanding of Seoul much better. If anyone wants the best tour & guide, you have to select Ho Jin"

"Rossi gave a wonderful tour of the fish market, i had a really good time with him and it was all so yummy, would def recommend him to others "

"He showed us some really nice streets we wouldnt have found without him. Very easy to talk to and service oriented. We really liked our tour. "

"I had a very nice kick start tour with Ho Jin, I would recommend to anyone who spends his first day in Seoul. Ho Jin showed me the most important places in the center and told me stories about the sights, the history, the culture and the people of seoul and korea. Perfect start! Thank you! "

"Juli was a fantastic guide for us on this tour! We covered a lot of fun areas of Seoul and had some street food and some sit down experiences that we never would have found or had the courage to try on our own. So delicious! We also appreciated Juli’s energy, personal touch answering all our questions, and her vibe as an all around pleasant person. Top marks. "

"I did a private walking tour in Seoul with Jason, and it was hands-down one of the highlights of my trip. Jason was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring throughout the entire experience. He went far above and beyond a typical tour guid, not only did he tailor the walk to my interests and pace, but he also helped me get properly set up in Seoul with tips, recommendations, and practical help that made the rest of my stay so much smoother. You can tell Jason truly loves what he does and wants his guests to have the best possible experience. He was patient, friendly, and always checking in to make sure I was comfortable and enjoying myself. If you’re looking for a private walking tour in Seoul that feels personal, stress-free, and packed with local insight, I can’t recommend Jason enough. This tour was worth every minute and then some!"

"Chris was a wonderful tour guide. He was fantastic with our two young kids and made the tour possible by engaging them in the stories. Chris is very knowledgeable and led us through the rich history of ancient and modern Korea which helped open our eyes to a more nuanced history of Asia and the modern day Seoul and Korea we were visiting. I couldn’t recommend Chris enough! "

"We had an absolutely fantastic experience on “The 10 Tastings of Seoul: Street Food tour” with Juli. From the start, she was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the tour feel both welcoming and thoughtfully personalized to our food preferences. The experience went far beyond street food, blending local sit-down eateries with hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own, all while enjoying truly authentic Korean dishes. Juli seamlessly wove in fascinating stories and historical context about Seoul and the Hoehyeon–Namdaemun market area, which added real depth and meaning to the tour. She moved the tour along smoothly, and took photos for us. The pacing was energetic but well organized, with walking time between stops that helped balance the many tastings. You truly can’t go wrong with this tour—Juli is a phenomenal guide who makes the experience memorable, engaging, and delicious from start to finish."

"With a visit to the DMZ being top of my list of things to do in Seoul, I thought it would be worth having a personalised tour for my husband and me. I'm glad I did. Ho Jin was great from start to finish, giving us his personal insights in addition to the stuff you can read in the history books. He picked us up from our hotel in Gangnam precisely on time and ensured we had a great day. Had their been more of us, it would have been even better value with just two of us it worked out at several hundreds pounds each. But it was worth it for Ho Jim's time and expertise."

"We just arrived home after our one day layover in Seoul and our wonderful tour with Ho Jin. We had such a short amount of time, this was a perfect way to see a lot, with zero stress. Ho Jin was so easy going and helped us do what we wanted to do. His english is perfect, and his spanish too! So communication is easy. He is knowledgable and taught us so many things. My 3 college aged kids really enjoyed him and learning from him. He is fun and out going. We hope to return for a full week vacation next time and we will definitely hire Ho Jin again! There are so many foods to try, and sights to see, we only scratched the surface! He told us what bus to take to and from the airport and it was so easy! I recommend that for anyone coming in from the airport. Thank you so much Ho Jin! If you ever come to Utah, we will show you around! :) Warmest thanks!!! "
