Super cool experience! - Jung was our guide. Super sweet woman, and also hilarious ! She was super patient, and informative with absolutely everything, even giving us the best places to stand or pose at for good pictures at the temples. She always made an effort to speak to everybody individually to get to know them more.

An amazing true with Jun! - Jun was an amazing tour guide and gave really great insights on the city!!! He was super accommodating and showed us his favorite spots at each destination. Highly recommend this tour and Jun as the guide! I also had to check out of my hotel in the morning and Jun allowed me to keep all my luggage in the car the whole day and then dropped me off at the train station at the end so I could go to the airport!!!

Jung is the best tour guide! - We had the most amazing experience with Jung! Our trip started at around 0830 and ended around 1630, but it was packed full of experiences in Seoul. Her English was fantastic, she explained everything in detail, and took photos for us when needed.
