Amazing pictures and tour of Gyeongbokgung Palace! - The whole experience was awesome from start to finish! My very picky mother joined us on the tour. First of all, The ladies at the hanbok store were great helping us pick out the clothing and doing our hair. And making my mom happy with how we looked. James and Jacob were so friendly. They really helped my mom enjoy her experience. They were friendly and knowledgeable about the palace. They helped us pose and took amazing pictures of us. They kept my mom laughing which is no small feat. We highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to not just take pictures but learn some of the history behind Korea and Gyeongbokgung Palace!

A beautiful trip to the past! - Our historical tour at Gyeongbokgung Palace was such a memorable experience! James, our historian guide, was full of energy, humor, and incredible knowledge about Korean history. He made the stories of the palace and its past come alive in such an engaging way. His friend joined us as a photographer, which was such a nice bonus, capturing all the special moments throughout the day. We also got to wear hanbok, which was not only fun but really added to the atmosphere of being inside the palace. It felt like stepping back in time while still enjoying the tour in a lighthearted, enjoyable way. Overall, it was the perfect mix of history, culture, and fun, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul!

Wonderful Gyeongbokgung Palace Experience - I had such a wonderful time on my Palace tour of Gyeongbokgung with James and Jacob. The whole experience was very enjoyable, and they shared so much interesting information throughout the visit. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, which made the history and culture of the palace come alive. On top of that, they were also a great photographer, helping capture some amazing shots to remember the day by. It was the perfect balance of learning and fun, and I’d highly recommend booking with James and Jacob for anyone considering a Gyeongbokgung Palace tour.

Dress up and have fun. - It was fun dressing up. The dresses were very nice quality and they did such a good job in my hair. I paid 40,000w for the rental and hair do. We did have to pay for bus and subway since the first palace is closed on Tuesdays. So the cost of tour is just for tour guide and photographer. James and Jacob. They were awesome. Knowledgeable and fun!

Just having a great day. - Spent a very successful morning with James and his photographer. The shop where you could borrow the clothes you work with is very good and not expensive. James could tell us all about the palace and the dynasties. The photographer was also very attentive and took very nice pictures for us. It was an all-round great experience. I highly recommend it.
