"I booked 3 tours with Kim, and I loved every bit of each. Kim is a very knowledgeable, fun, flexible, and professional guide who gave me the opportunity to learn a lot about Seoul, its history and its culture while making the experience enjoyable and fun!!!. She made every tour exactly what I wanted, so I am leaving with only great memories and hoping to come back to learn and experience more. If you are lucky to book a tour with her, she will make it a an amazing and memorable experience!!!!"
"Kim was very accomodating with helping to book our tour! I really enjoyed learning more about the Korean history from some one who has a real interst and passion. Nicely wrapped up with some treats at the market and some restaurant tips! Thanks Kim."
"Our tour was restricted by a heavy rainstorm, so spent the first half in a cafe talking about Korea and Seoul, learnt so much and Christina so knowledgeable. Really enjoyed our time together."
"He was very patient and friendly, felt like walking across Seoul with a friend. We were completely lost where to go and he brought us to spots that fitted our interests. Would recommend!"

Great Guide in Seoul
"Sanghee Priscilla Was fantastic. She took us around non-touristy markets and beauty shopping. She is fun and energetic and her English is very good. Would highly recommend. "
"Jason and I corresponded by WhatsApp from the UK so that he could tailor the tour to my preferences.
I have known some guides who are fixed on a script but this guy could answer all sorts of questions.
A first rate friendly tour by an expert."
"Jason made our stay in Seoul exceptional! Not only did we have a very informative tour with him seeing the sights but he went above and beyond and showed us some hidden neighborhoods and recommended an excellent place for lunch too! His English was great and his advice on how to navigate transport, which apps to use and tips on what other places to explore was invaluable. We would highly recommend him as a guide and just overall lovely person to meet! "
"This was our first time booking a private guided tour, and Jason has set an exceptionally high bar for all future experiences. Honestly, after this tour, I can’t imagine visiting a new city without booking a private guide. I feel like I’ve been doing tourism wrong until now!
Our experience with Jason was outstanding from start to finish. He was proactive before the tour, offering thoughtful suggestions that helped tailor the itinerary perfectly to our interests. Throughout the day, he was attentive, communicative, and made sure we were well taken care of.
We explored a fascinating mix of places - not just hidden gems (which truly were hidden, and truly gems!), but also unexpected takes on must-see landmarks. These weren’t the usual tourist traps, but surprising highlights that gave us a deeper sense of the city.
So what are you waiting for? Book. A. Trip. With. Jason. Your future self will thank you. Your past self will be jealous. And your friends will wonder how you suddenly became such a savvy traveler."
