Experience the best of
Seoul with Withlocals

"Juli took us across three areas of the city to eat with an added stop at the stream walkway. She had things in mind to eat but also was happy to just buy when things caught our eye in street stalls. We had more than the promised ten things! She is a delightful person and knowledgeable about history and able to tell stories and talk about today’s culture. She even threw in a Korean lesson and gave us some candy gifts. We booked the tour on our arrival day and it gave us confidence to know we could eat local food which we found delicious ( though kimchi is still not our favourite!) Highly recommended and worth the cost. "

"We had a really wonderful day with Jin! He knew exactly where to take us, what to tell us about the city and the places we visited, taking us to great spots, so that we didn’t have to walk as much since it was a very warm day. Taught us about the food and all, and we found ourselves visiting Seoul with a friend ! Highly recommended!"

"Our family of 3 had a wonderful experience on a private tour to Aegibong Peace Park along with the Starbucks/observatory and also DMZ. Everything from communication prior to the day of the trip, pick up at the hotel to showing us all the spots, talking to us about the history etc was managed perfectly. It was evident that Kevin has in depth knowledge of the history and also is passionate about his country. The vehicle was very comfortable too which helped since it was a long day. We highly recommend this trip with Kevin!!"

"We, father with daughter of 17, had a very informative day visiting the DMZ with Hyosang Chris. What was most appreciated is that during the traveling to and from DMZ he was able to very clearly place the DMZ within the historical and geo-political context that was often supported by evidence. These much appreciated conversations certainly gave the day a unique added value for both of us. In addition, he was very helpful in solving some practical issues. "

"Thomas did an amazing job. He adjusted the schedule to ensure we could still cover all key places despite unexpected holiday disruptions. When we wanted a short break, he took us to a fantastic Korean tea spot. Thomas has traveled extensively and has lived and worked outside Korea, which really shows in his perspective and how he engages with guests. A real surprise was that he brought a professional camera and took many photos for us throughout the tour. He later shared them via a drive, and the quality was excellent. You would typically pay extra for a photographer of this standard. Overall, a great guide and a wonderful experience. Highly recommended."

"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! "

"Thoughtful and flexible about what I’d wanted to see. I enjoyed our conversations and shared international experiences. Thank you Cristina. "

"Ho Jin was a great accommodating and friendly local guide and gave us a really good and inspirational two hours "quick intro to Seoul " tour. "

"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! "
