Solo travel! - This event was truly amazing. I wasn’t sure what to expect but we got to learn a lot about the history and culture here as well as taking really cool photos. If you got some free time I would highly recommend the tour guides were awesome as well. Thank you guys!

A Memorable Walking Tour with Stories and Photos - I had an amazing time on this two-hour walking tour in Seoul! Our guides—a historian and a photographer—were the perfect team. The historian shared fascinating stories about the city’s past, while the photographer helped us capture great shots at iconic spots. It was both educational and fun, and I left with a deeper appreciation of Seoul and some beautiful photos to remember it by. Highly recommend!

We really found some hidden gems - The tour was awesome. I have never had this much fun learning about history as with James. We were also able to learn quite a bit from Jacob with his experience. The two of them made the trip a really unique and fun experience.

Perfect Blend of History and Fun - We did the Street Photoshoot & Seoul Hidden Gem History Walking Tour with James and Jacob, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. James struck the perfect balance of history, storytelling, and humor, engaging even for my 10 year old daughter. The photoshoot was such a fun bonus, and Jacob made everything feel natural and easy. We loved exploring neighborhoods we wouldn’t have found on our own, and now we have beautiful photos to remember them by. Both were warm, professional, patient, and incredibly fun and easygoing. Highly recommend if you want meaningful sightseeing plus great keepsake photos

Tour with photoshoot - Had a great time with James and Jacob! It’s such a unique experience with learning about the historical importance of all these locations. I’ve been to Seoul before but did not know the background stories. Also, they make the photoshoot so much fun! We were very awkward during the photoshoot as it’s our first but Jacob and James made it very memorable :)
