Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Jason was incredible. He reaches out to get your interests and what you would want to see so he can personalize the experience. He is super nice and even adjusted our tour becasue I fell ill and couldn't do everything we originally planned. Definitely recommend this tour! Thank you Jason for the amazing time in the city! :) "
"Chris was a great guide for our family! You can feel his passion for Korean history from the moment he starts speaking he’s extremely knowledgeable, articulate, and genuinely excited to share his culture. Even with our tight schedule, he made everything feel smooth, interesting, and meaningful. His explanations were clear, engaging, and filled with insights you wouldn’t get from a typical tour. We learned so much and honestly enjoyed every minute with him. He was able to deal with us a little slower as some members of our party wasn’t 100% and we were a bit jet lagged. If you want a guide who is not only highly educated but also warm, enthusiastic, and truly proud of his country, Chris is the perfect choice. We couldn’t recommend him more!"
"We had so little time on our layover tour of Seoul, but Jason made sure we made the most of it. He curated our entire half-day based on what we asked to see and do, and we were able to accomplish a little bit of everything- history / culture, cafés, shopping, food, and of course Korean skin care, lol! Jason was punctual, knowledgeable, and professional, while also having a positive attitude and winning sense of humor. We considered doing it on our own, but so glad that we chose a private tour guide. We would have been lost and missed out on so much. Highly recommended if you want to experience a little Korean flavor in a short amount of time."

"Go Jin was absolutely amazing: he’s kind, funny and easygoing! He gave us fantastic tips on other places to visit and recommended some really cool spots for the evening. Thanks to him, our trip was even more special. Highly recommended!"
"Chris was without a doubt the type of guide I needed and wanted. I enjoyed his company and all of the conversation. He shared some knowledge of Korea that was enlightening, fun, and amazing. He asked me was there anything I specifically wanted to see before we started and I really didn't know what being my 1st time Korea so I asked him to use his expertise, and WOW, he made my whole trip worth wild. I did make one request for Korean BBQ, Chris came through like a champ with the best food I had on my whole trip. I selected him because of his profile and just the look he had on his profile picture, thumbs up 👍 he delivered. I will never forget the experience I had. Thanks Chris and WithLocals 😁"
"The best way you can spend a day in Seoul if you only have one day is to roam around with Ho Jin. I felt like I not only had the best use of time in terms of sightseeing, but also got a glimpse into the life of modern Korean people, bridging the gap between the classical tour and real world topics. Ho Jin is a great guy knowledgeable and funny and he was so attentive and made adjustments as the day went on. See you next year, Ho Jin !!!"
"Ho Jin showed us a great tour of many highlights of the city in a 5+ hour walking tour - but at our pace with refreshment breaks. He was engaging, knowledgeable and very accommodating to our interests. Wondeful time!"
"The tour with Ho Jin was perfect for getting a good overview. He listened to our wishes and showed us some beautiful spots, especially those that were architecturally interesting and historically significant! We would book another tour with Ho Jin anytime—thank you very much!"
"Sanghee is phenomenal! The food tastings were diverse, plentiful and delicious. Sanghee's ability to weave in history, current events and culture made this a fantastic experience! "
"It is with sincere thanks to Jason our tour guide for making our experience in Seoul a happy memorable one . I contacted Jason after reading his profile introduction and decided to book a five hour city tour on his recommendation and also took his advice and stayed in Myeongdong area. He kept us informed and asked questions about our interests and needs in order to get a better understanding in assisting us with the city tour once we arrived. It’s not easy to build report with someone but for us it was instant. He met us the day before our tour help us navigate this bustling city. On the day of our tour he tailored it to suit our interests and took us to as he says “hidden gems” that not many tourists know about and we loved every aspect from the cafes and shopping strips. Importantly he went out of his way to assist in purchasing train tickets for our next journey and dropped it off at the hotel. I must also mention his exceptional photographic skills with taking amazing pictures for us . On a last note we highly recommend booking Jason if you want to create beautiful memories of your holiday! He is respectful, polite, understanding and patient.Jason is so much more than a tourist guide and we feel like we made a special friend! Thank you again Jason, Ray and myself will keep in touch with future endeavours "
