"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 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!"
"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!"
"We visited the Palace and the local area around with Jason. He made sure we learned a lot about Korean culture and some hidden gems in that area. He showed us very nice places and always gave us interesting insights.
10/10 highly recommend to book your tour with him. "
"We had a fantastic day with Rossi. He was very knowledgeable and gave us great insights on historical information and current culture. He was very attentive to our needs and preferences. His easy going personality made for a very enjoyable day.
We look forward to another tour on a future trip!
"
"I spent four packed, fun and informative hours with Jason on the Traditional Seoul and Hidden Gems tour and it was more than worth it. Friendly, considerate, smart and knowledgeable, Jason whisked me around the old and new parts of this huge city, including a feast at GwangJang Market, as well as cool spots like a knockout cafe down a tiny alley. It's a well-rounded tour with a guide who makes you feel safe and in the know. He also took lots of time to show me how the buses and subways work! A total pro."
