Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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!"
"He showed us some really nice streets we wouldnt have found without him. Very easy to talk to and service oriented. We really liked our tour. "
"I had a very nice kick start tour with Ho Jin, I would recommend to anyone who spends his first day in Seoul. Ho Jin showed me the most important places in the center and told me stories about the sights, the history, the culture and the people of seoul and korea. Perfect start! Thank you! "
"I did a private walking tour in Seoul with Jason, and it was hands-down one of the highlights of my trip. Jason was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring throughout the entire experience. He went far above and beyond a typical tour guid, not only did he tailor the walk to my interests and pace, but he also helped me get properly set up in Seoul with tips, recommendations, and practical help that made the rest of my stay so much smoother. You can tell Jason truly loves what he does and wants his guests to have the best possible experience. He was patient, friendly, and always checking in to make sure I was comfortable and enjoying myself. If you’re looking for a private walking tour in Seoul that feels personal, stress-free, and packed with local insight, I can’t recommend Jason enough. This tour was worth every minute and then some!"
"Chris was a wonderful tour guide. He was fantastic with our two young kids and made the tour possible by engaging them in the stories. Chris is very knowledgeable and led us through the rich history of ancient and modern Korea which helped open our eyes to a more nuanced history of Asia and the modern day Seoul and Korea we were visiting. I couldn’t recommend Chris enough! "
"We just arrived home after our one day layover in Seoul and our wonderful tour with Ho Jin. We had such a short amount of time, this was a perfect way to see a lot, with zero stress. Ho Jin was so easy going and helped us do what we wanted to do. His english is perfect, and his spanish too! So communication is easy. He is knowledgable and taught us so many things. My 3 college aged kids really enjoyed him and learning from him. He is fun and out going. We hope to return for a full week vacation next time and we will definitely hire Ho Jin again! There are so many foods to try, and sights to see, we only scratched the surface! He told us what bus to take to and from the airport and it was so easy! I recommend that for anyone coming in from the airport. Thank you so much Ho Jin! If you ever come to Utah, we will show you around! :) Warmest thanks!!! "
"Ho Jin was funny, knowledable, super helpful and overall a great guide to help us get started on our first day in Seoul. Six of us took a 3-hour "With Locals Your Way" tour with him. We told him we'd like to eat at a local restaurant, visit markets, go to Insadong/Ikseondong, and learn how to get around Seoul. He is a good story teller. Listening to him you learn about things you don't read in guidebooks or blogs. He also gave us practical advices. The restaurant he took us was very authentic (no tourists) with one of the best food we had in Seoul. Definitely a great way to start our trip. Thanks, Ho Jin!"
"Christina is a fantastic guide, with the right mix of history, local knowledge and interesting facts. A highly enjoyable tour with a fantastic guide. "
"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! :) "
"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."
