Must Do It! - This tour was incredible. Our tour guide Yujin was well versed in Korean history and knew all the spots! It was our first day in Korea and we just felt so comfortable and relaxed. She took us to the palace, Myeongdung and Insadong. We were able to have a true local experience when we ate in the food market. We loved purchasing items in the market to support the local artists and merchants. You can see the pride in their handmade items. My preteens absolutely loved her. We were so happy we booked this. You get a little bit of everything on this tour!

Private tour of Seoul - We booked this tour as the company was able to pick us up and drop us off at Incheon Cruise terminal. Prior communication was easy and we were contacted the day prior regarding our pickup and tour guide. Yujin was very polite and had an extensive knowledge of Korean history. We were able to adjust the tour on the day to accommodate the needs of my elderly parents which I appreciated. Transport throughout the day was in a very comfortable spacious vehicle. Thank you Yujin for a wonderful tour and accommodating our needs.

Wonderful multigenerational family tour! - Joey was a wonderful guide who was knowledgeable and great with our children. The tour was well organized and coordinated with our driver. We had time to customize the tour and get to see all the sites on our list.

Couldn’t be better! - Jun, who speaks fluent English, was friendly, informative, patient, and flexible. He provided us with a memorable experience of Seoul, particularly Insadong which frankly I just loved. We had visited Joyeosa Temple so we skipped that (but worth seeing). We visited Cheonggyeonggung Palace, Buckson Hanok Village, the big street market (?), and Cheonggyecheon Stream. He was informative about the palace and points of interest and patient while I took a lot of photos of each place (sp. the palace and Bukchon Village) and he helped by taking photos of us. Jun drove well, knew the area well, but also allowed us to experience walking through Bukchon Hanok Village and the markets. For lunch we had a soup with whole little chicken in it, (Samgyetang?), and a delicious green onion pancake, Pajeon. Later as we strolled some big street we had a donut that everyone else on that street was also eating! He suggested an itinerary but adapted the tour to our interests and we determined how long to stay at each stop. I hope to return and tour with him again. Thanks, Jun!!
