We had a 1 day layover at... - We had a 1 day layover at Incheon airport. Our guide picked us up at the airport hotel & we toured the Gyeongbokgung Palace, a Hanok village & a little shopping & lunch in Insadong. He shared a lot of information & stories & was very timely in getting us to the airport with our brief timeline.

Do this if you have a long layover - Great way to spend a long layover in Seoul. Song was a great tour guide around the city. He took us all over. Sometimes just dropped us off and told us what to look for sometimes took us around. Gave us a great rec for food. Super fun experience. Great way to get a little glimpse of the city.

Best layover tour! - Moon was an amazing travel guide. He went at our pace and listened to the groups needs. He spoke excellent English as well! He was very knowledgeable about Korea and all of the places we visited. I would highly recommend this private tour. We loved our layover tour with Moon, we all agreed that we wanted to come back and spend a week traveling.

Fantastic!! - Song, our guide, was excellent and the overall tour was fantastic. We got a great overview of Seoul and plenty of time at each location. We really appreciated the lunch recommendations and the accommodation Song made for an older family member.

A great introduction to Seoul! - This is a great option should you have a long layover at Incheon airport. My guide was exceptional, adjusted the amount of time we spent at each location based on my interests, gave great lunch and shopping recommendations, and ensured I was back at the airport with plenty of time to check in and make my flight. The vehicle was clean, spacious and well maintained.

A good way to kill time on a layover. - Tour guide was very nice and informative. Tour included only one site to really see. Cost wasn't worth it. Driver spent a lot of time on his phone. Went to shopping areas. First we just walked and he pointed out souvenir shops. We tried to stop him to look at a different shop but couldn't. We were taken to the "largest market" and had 20 minutes to shop. Never take a women to shops with no time to shop. Did take us to a wonderful place for lunch.
