"We had a great private tour with Ho Jin. The day flew by and he was very nice and talketive guy. He made sure we saw everything on our tour and even took us to a good local restaurant for lunch. If you are looking for a private tour I would recommend Ho Jin."
"Ho Jin was a wonderful guide, it felt like a tour with a good friend! He was so knowledgeable, was equally comfortable in English or Spanish. He was able to answer our questions about history, culture and language. Ho Jin was flexible with our tour when we needed a quick break. Wonderful tour and will definitely recommend him to our friends & family. ¡Gracias Ho Jin! Nos la pasamos súper bien. "
"Julian was a wonderful tour guide! He answered all of our questions and took us to great places. He also explained the significance of certain food items in Korean culture. We had a blast!"
"We had a great time with Priscilla. Priscilla was really flexible and accommodating. We are really introverted and Priscilla totally put us at ease. In total we had more than 20 items and were stuffed to the brim. Many of the stalls were stalls we would never dare to try without a local. Come hungry!!!"
"Julian took us to some great local places throughout Seoul. He is very personal and gave us great knowledge of the local food, sites, and culture. He made us capture some awesome bites we might not have tried in our couple of days here."
"I met Priscilla at a Metro station near Namdaemun Market and sampled a wide variety of foods from restaurants, small cafes and street stalls. I tasted many things which I would have been wary about, without her telling me about them.
She was knowledgeable, funny, informative and very easy to understand. I would highly recommend her - just make sure you haven’t eaten for a few days beforehand!
Her insight into Korean food was very useful in my further travels around Korea and I will definitely be cooking some of the dishes when I get home.
Thanks Priscilla, hope to see you on my next trip to Seoul. "
"We are so lucky to have Ho Jin as our guide again for the second time this trip , this time to the DMZ. He’s knowledgeable, entertaining and like hanging out with a lifelong friend. We ended our dad playing with meercats and a raccoon….🦝 what more could you ask for. Don’t even hesitate book Ho Jin for your Korean adventure!"
"What can I say except Book with Jason! He truly created a custom experience for me! Worth every penny and more. Hes a licensed tour guide with a fabulous sense for what will make for memorable experiences. Fluency in English made conversation fun and easy. Just fabulous, I will definitely book again!"
"Cristina was so patient with me! She explained everything, was an engaging and fun tour guide. Fluent in English, conversation was easy and fun. I will book again when I come back to Seoul!"
