"We had an incredible experience with Jason! He was exceptionally accommodating and flexible, especially when the weather tried to ruin our plans. Despite the rain dampening our original itinerary, Jason didn't miss a beat and quickly adjusted to make sure we still had a great time. He even went over his scheduled time to ensure we didn't miss out on any of the highlights. If you're looking for a guide who truly cares about his guests and can handle any curveball, Jason is your guy. "
"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."
"We had a lovely morning with Kevin on the family friendly tour. Kevin was wonderful with our 8-year old and helped us learn so much more about what we were seeing than if we were on our own. He was patient with us and our many questions and showed us things we definitely would have missed without him. We would not hesitate to book another tour with Kevin next time we are in Seoul."
"Jin is a walking encyclopedia for Korea. Super passionate about Seoul. Most importantly, he was very kind and patient. I visited with my parents and he customized the pace of the tour to their needs. He took us to a restaurant known for soup we’ve never tried and wouldn’t have found on our own. Best guide for first time visitors. Thank you Jin! "
"Thomas is a delightful,lovely man and I would recommend him highly. He has a great sense of humor and laugh. He is generous in spirit and was responsive to our needs, coming to our hotel which made it much easier for us. I wish him well and thank him for a great introduction to Seoul."
"Our family of 5 (including two teens and a 5 y.o.) booked a full day Seoul tour with Jason. We had a terrific time! Jason really knows his way around the city; he showed us the highlights of the city, and also allowed us to customize our experience. Jason is fluent in English, has a great sense of humor, and he is incredibly easy-going. We highly recommend partnering with Jason the next time you're in town!"
"We booked our tour with Jason on our first day in Seoul. Jason met us at our hotel and helped us navigate the metro to arrive at our first destination. He was informative and took us to a good combination of historic and modern areas. He also takes great photos. Jason passed on many recommendations for restaurants and other spots to see. "
