Fantastic way to start our time in Seoul - My wife and I had an excellent experience with Cristina. The Kickstart tour was a perfect way to start our five days in Seoul and our first time in South Korea. Cristina is a wealth of knowledge and she answered all of our questions. We highly recommend Cristina and this tour.

Go Seoul!! - Ho Jin was a fantastic tour guide and highly recommended. We only had about 1 hour to see Seoul. We did not realize the city center is approximately 1 hour away from Incheon Airport. Although we were about 15 minutes late to the start of the tour, Ho Jin waited for us to arrive. We saw more than we expected in just one hour. We’re excited to go back to Seoul and we will absolutely sign up with Ho Jin for another amazing tour.

Great guide, great introduction to Seoul! - My daughter-in-law and I arrived in Seoul in the evening after a long flight from London. After checking into our hotel, we walked around for a couple of hours to stretch our legs and get our bearings. The next day, we walked around in the morning, then met up with Ho Jin at 1:00 for our tour. Ho Jin is very knowledgeable about the past and present of Seoul, so the tour involved learning as well as looking. And even though we covered some ground that we’d already viewed, we gained perspective and a better orientation that proved very helpful during our stay. I highly recommend this tour and Ho Jin as a guide!

A Great Intro Walking Tour of Seoul - My MIL and I spent the afternoon walking around City Hall and Insadong areas with Ho Jin. It was a good introduction to Seoul and South Korea. Ho Jin was very friendly and answered all of our questions. It was great to spend time with a local in a new city. Thank you, Ho Jin!

Nice introduction to Seoul with Dario - We had a really nice introduction to Seoul City with Dario. We walked around some of main downtown attractions and Dario gave us input on history and current issues of the city and the country. Dario is a polite, nice person to hang around with.

Guide was on time and... - Guide was on time and very kind.
However, we felt like we were trying to extract information from him. At no point did he seem forthcoming with anything. I do acknowledge he knew what he was talking about, but it just felt like we were bugging him to get it.
