Sheen Kim is the best! - Sheen Kim was the best. Let me tell you why: he is very knowledgeable, he takes great pictures, and he is overall kind and sweet. We enjoyed his tour because he made sure we were at the prime spots that most tourists do not know. Hes also given us some tips and advice for the rest of our trip. Lastly, he offered to help us if we ever get in a sticky situation. He said just message him and he will be there to sort things out. Such a dependable person! I highly recommend him. 5/5 stars!!!!

Must see palace tour, with hanbok - This was the highlight of my trip to Korea. We met our guide Sheen - who is excellent - who escorted us to rent hanbok. Sheen took us on a tour of Gyeongbokgun palace, walked past the Blue House, had a nice break at a cafe, and ended in Bokchon village. Sheen is really nice, and his English is really good. We definitely recommend!

#1 thing everyone should do in Korea!! - This was a great tour of the largest Korean palace in Seoul. It has beautiful buildings and landscaping. Our guide Sheen gave us an excellent overview of the history and architecture of Gyeongbokgung. He also led us to Bokchon village with a nice break at a cafe. We opted to do the traditional hanbok dress which was really great fir photos around the palace. I highly highly recommend this tour to understand the history and culture of Korea. Sheen was an excellent tour guide. His English is great and he answered all our questions. Do it! You won’t regret it. It was the highlight of our visit to Seoul!

Tour the palace in a hanbok - My tour guide was so knowledgeable, patient, and wonderful during the tour of the palace with my kids and I. She would check in on us ahead of time. We first started at a hanbok rental place prior to touring the palace and the historic village. This was one of my favorite memories of Korea!
