Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Sangnee organised a weekend which was fabulous from start to finish... I highly recommend her"
"SANGHEE was a great host. Had good English. Took us everywhere we wanted to go. Was extremely knowledgeable about the past history of Korea … both South and North and also very knowledgeable of current Korea as it is today. She also took lots of photos for us which she sent to us after our trip. We would thoroughly recommend her. "
"I had a great day with Ho Jin. We did a nice mix of walking and driving to see a lot of things within a short time. He clearly had a plan ahead of time, but we made tweaks as he grew to see what I would enjoy more. He was very flexible on pick up and drop off, picking me up directly from my hotel, along with my luggage, as well as dropping me off at the airport for my outbound flight at the end of the day. Saved a lot of time and stress of figuring out transportation when I was only there on a stop-over."
"This tour was fantastic from the start. From being picked up at the door of our hotel to being dropped back. Couldn’t recommend Ho Jin enough! The whole day felt comfortable and easy going and he was very knowledgeable on all aspects of the DMZ. If you’re looking for something a little extra and away from the bus loads of tour groups book this tour! "

"My family and I had the best experience we could have ever dreamed of, all due to Ho Jin. Not only did he take us to the normal sites, but also to sites that locals go to. He explained history and background of every location. It would have been impossible for us to see all that we saw on our own. He is very friendly, personable and being able to travel by car on a very hot day instead of subways and taxi's was an added plus. Our 15 year old son, instantly connected on all the history information and is still talking about the experience today! Look no further than Ho Jin...worth every penny and them some....and a really nice and thoughtful guy !!"
"We had a great time touring the DMZ and related areas with Jin. He was at once knowledgeable, fun, relaxed, attentive, everything you want your guide to be. Jin’s English is impeccable and we even bantered in his native Spanish. We tailored the itinerary a bit, communication pre-tour was fast and easy. Would love to come back to Seoul and have Jin show us more of this incredible country. "
"Ho Jin was a fantastic guide - my partner and I had a lovely, informative day with him exploring the DMZ and the region around it. Ho Jin was very knowledgeable about the history and context of the Korean War and relations with the North. He was also a lot of fun - and we really appreciated his willingness to vary the plan for the day, and to drop us off at the airport at the end of our time together. "
"We had a great private tour with Ho Jin. The day flew by and he was very nice and talketive guy. He made sure we saw everything on our tour and even took us to a good local restaurant for lunch. If you are looking for a private tour I would recommend Ho Jin."
"We are so lucky to have Ho Jin as our guide again for the second time this trip , this time to the DMZ. He’s knowledgeable, entertaining and like hanging out with a lifelong friend. We ended our dad playing with meercats and a raccoon….🦝 what more could you ask for. Don’t even hesitate book Ho Jin for your Korean adventure!"
"I had a 48 hour stop over in Seoul, early December. I opted to book a private tour of the DMZ with Ho Jin and had a great time! He picked me up promptly at my hotel and safely guided me for the day. I found Ho Jin very professional, knowledgeable and very friendly - a new friend that felt like an old friend. As a visitor it was fantastic to have the local perspective presented. Would I recommend? - ‘Yes’"
