Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a fantastic day with Rossi. He was very knowledgeable and gave us great insights on historical information and current culture. He was very attentive to our needs and preferences. His easy going personality made for a very enjoyable day. We look forward to another tour on a future trip! "
"Thomas is a great guide- a loud laugher who walks fast and has a plan. We really enjoyed our tour with Thomas because he was a friendly guy who was fun to be around and we covered a lot of ground he's a fast Walker and knew where he was going and when we got to a place that was crowded he stood in line and we got to find the nice seats. all these things made it a really top notch tour and we've done these around the world. "
"Chris has exceptional knowledge of Korean history and culture! We enjoyed learning about the Seoul City Wall and much more during our walking tour. We also appreciated Chris' great local restaurant recommendations, which resulted in a delicious dinner in Hyewha. 감사합니다!"
"Rossi delivered an outstanding customized tour for our family, thoughtfully tailoring the experience to include our requested stops at Cheonggyecheon Stream, Gwangjang Market, and Dongdaemun Design Plaza, along with notable landmarks along the way. The tour was well-paced, engaging, and informative, and Rossi was always ready to capture special family moments with photos and helpful commentary throughout the journey. We highly recommend him for anyone looking for a personalized and memorable tour experience."
"Chris Lee guided us today through Namdaemun Market and its winding alleys — a sensory journey into the soul of Korean cuisine. Between steaming bowls of broth, mandu, the spicy aroma of tteokbokki, and the savory sizzle of fish cakes (odeng), every step became a small discovery. The experience was seasoned not only with gochugaru and sesame oil, but with his stories — quiet, warm, and full of life. Chris doesn’t just know the best stalls; he knows the people behind them. And perhaps that’s exactly it: this web of encounters, glances, and smiles that, for a moment, makes you part of it. You arrive as a visitor — and are welcomed like an old friend. His introduction to Korean culture felt like a perfectly composed banchan arrangement: diverse, surprising, and served with great attention to detail."
"My tour with Chris was excellent, his knowledge of Korean and world history was extremely impressive and made for a great few hours exploring downtown Seoul. I would highly recommend a tour with him for anyone who wants to learn more about the history and culture of this great place. Knew an excellent spot for traditional Korean tea as well. "
"Juli was an excellent host for our tour. Great conversation, teaching and educating us on Korean history, culture, along with food experiences. Would recommend highly"
"Juli’s food tour was the perfect introduction to Seoul. We arrived hungry and she immediately took care of us. After fortifying us with kimchi dumplings we tried a number of other delicious Korean dishes throughout the market before walking to another market. She also gave us a great orientation to the city and the country. Highly recommend!! "
"We had a fantastic experience on our With Locals tour with Juli in Seoul! She took us to a beautiful temple and guided us through the vibrant night markets, where we tasted so many fabulous and delicious local specialties. Everything she recommended was absolutely amazing! What made the tour even more special was how much we learned along the way. Juli shared fascinating insights about the history of Seoul and the specific neighborhoods we were exploring, which gave us a much deeper appreciation for the city. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and wonderful with our kids — they were completely involved and genuinely interested the entire time. As a family, we all had such a great time. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seoul!"
"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 "
