"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! "
"We had a great time with Ho Jin! We had time for several different stops and the tour never felt rushed. The kickstart tour is a fantastic way to get to know the area and ask any questions you might have. Ho Jin is very knowledgeable and easy going. Highly recommend! "
"We had an amazing night out for drinks and snacks with Rossi. He really tailored the tour for us, it was more than what we could have hoped for! We even got to taste dishes we had been looking for but hadnt found on our own. But best of all was his company, he is really nice and the hours flew by! 100% would do it again, we will book Rossi again next time were in Seoul :)"
"We had Ho Jin as our guide on a city tour for two hours. He told us a lot of interesting historical facts about Seoul, and he was really nice and laid back (in a positive way!). We enjoyed his company and would absolutely book him again!"
"Had an amazing time around Seoul markets trying amazing and different food. Juli was super energetic and up for anything! She made the experience much better. We had some of the best food ever, Juli really knew the best spots!"
"Our family had such a wonderful experience with Thomas in Seoul. He went above and beyond to make sure the tour worked with our food allergies, and he even created a helpful guide for us to use throughout the city so we could navigate the rest of our trip more easily.
He took us to incredible locations and somehow perfectly matched the pace of our chaotic family, which made the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable for everyone. As an added bonus, he brought a professional camera and captured amazing photos of our family that we’ll treasure from this trip.
If you’re planning a trip to Seoul, I would absolutely recommend booking a tour with Thomas."
"We had such a wonderful experience with Ho Jin. His tour was packed with interesting information, and he did an amazing job keeping our whole family engaged. He matched the pace of our family perfectly, with frequent stops and such a positive attitude throughout the day. His English was fantastic, which made everything easy and enjoyable. We truly had a great time and would highly recommend booking with Ho Jin!"
"My son and I had a wonderful time touring Seoul with Rossi. We ventured through several neighborhoods and stopped for a delicious lunch. Rossi was responsive to our questions, and allowed us to stray from the agenda when we saw something interesting. He even answered more of my questions via text after our tour was complete."
"Hi Jin was one of the very best guides we’ve ever hired! Since we had limited time in Seoul, his tour enabled us to see some of the highlights including the Palace, the Hanbok Village and some of the arts and cafe district. Additionally, he offered up magnificent suggestions for “after the tour’s conclusion that took advantage of—including a wonderful dumpling house and a Speakeasy disguised as a paintbrush store, serving up the best Korean fried chicken ever. He is well traveled himself and we found him to be most friendly, professional and engaging. It was the best 3 hours we spent in Seoul! Hi Jin is a gem!"
