Perfect day in Seoul - Christine and Young were amazing tour guides. We only had a day in Seoul and they made the very best of it. The tour was informative and well planned out. We really felt that we learned a ton and had a great time doing it. From the locations picked to the location they chose for lunch, we could not have had a better experience. Make sure to dress in the hanbok clothing for the tour of the palace. It makes the experience a bit more interactive.

All in one complete fun with family! - My family and I did the Full Day Customizable Seoul Highlights Private Tour with our awesome tour guides Christine and Young. They were so accomadting and knowledgeable about their country, giving interesring historical facts about the sites. My daughter is a history buff , she loved the background knowledge given by Ms. Christine. Young, our driver (Christine's husband) was a great driver. He was on time with pick up and drop off at our suggested sites, we felt like VIPs. The Hanbok experience was so much fun doing photo ops They also recommended a lunch place to our liking, my husband wanted Bulgogi and my cousin wanted Bimbimbap. It was so good to eat at a place where locals eat! They also gave advice on how to get back at the airport to catch our flight the next day. Christine was an awesome personal photographer for us. She captured our moments candid and professional shots. We were really blessed to have these two married couple as our guide! We are forever grateful and thankful for your hospitality They showed us. Will definitely recommend then for any firsr time visitors to South Korea. Mahalo, Tolentinos

This is the way to see Seoul, Korea. - I traveled to Seoul for the Seoul Series. I decided to book this and I am thankful that I did. Adela was incredible and extremely knowledgeable of all the great things in S. Korea. We did everything, and I mean everything in 1 day. Thank you Adela for the great memories and making my stay extra special.

Best way to spend only one day in Seoul. - The tour operator was very responsive and communicated well with us in arranging our Vivian. We were picked up at our hotel in Incheon and taken on a full day tour of Seoul. Our guide, Jones, was excellent and informed us about local culture and language throughout the day. We rented a hanbok to dress up for our tour of the palace. It was so much fun. About 40% of the locals do it as well. We also went to Bukchong Hanok Village, the Kwang Yang market for street food and toured throughout the city before heading back to Incheon. It was a wonderful tour for only one day in Seoul. Highly recommended!

Learning about things Korean… - Julie is an excellent guide. We wanted to learn more about Korean social mores and culture (rather than just visiting another temple) and Julie delivered that in spades. The event was flexible, tailored to our tastes on the day and Mr Oh, our driver, made the journey safe and comfortable. First class experience.

The only way to see Seoul! - This private sightseeing tour was perfect! We have signed up for a few "private" sightseeing tours via Viator, and what this usually means is that you get a private driver, but this tour takes it to the next level with a fully knowledgeable tour guide giving you an understanding and immersive experience. Hands down one of the best tours in my entire trip away.
