GJ is a great guide - really interesting walking tour! - This was a great tour for us as first-time visitors to Seoul. Gyeonbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village were real highlights. GJ was our guide - with amazing energy, overwhelming kindness, and deep knowledge of the areas’ history that we visited. It felt like we were out and about - walking with a friend.

Perfect introduction to Seoul - Paul did an amazing job putting together a tour for me on my visit to Seoul. Shortly after I booked, he reached out to me with a proposed itinerary and modified it according to what I wanted to see. He gave me so much great insight into Korean history and culture, which made me appreciate the sights so much more. We covered everything on our itinerary, and he took great pictures too! Overall he made my first day in Seoul very special and I booked a second day with him to get an even deeper look into what Seoul has to offer.

5 Stars - An Amazing Walking Tour of Seoul! - We had an incredible experience on our walking tour of Seoul! Our guide, Hans Kim, was absolutely fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and super accommodating. He went above and beyond by helping us arrange Hanboks for our visit to the palace, which made the experience even more special. Hans also took amazing photos for us throughout the tour, capturing memories we’ll treasure forever. Everything was well-paced, informative, and so much fun. Highly recommend this tour and especially Hans if you’re looking for an unforgettable day in Seoul!

Best intro ever to Seoul! - I could not be happier with my decision to book a private tour for my first day in Seoul. Jeeseon and I emailed and messaged back and forth before my arrival so that we could collaborate on an itinerary, based on my interests and “wish list” of things to see and do. Not only did she create an amazing itinerary to incorporate many items on my list, but then masterfully pivoted on a moment’s notice in order to catch the cherry blossoms on their last big day in bloom before the storms came in. We had an absolute blast! She showed me a fantastic mix of hidden gems and seemed to know just what I would like. She was so fun, organized, knowledgeable, and flexible. She had a lovely, positive energy, was incredibly patient with me, and looked after me closely (as I was a bit of a “lost child” on my first day in the city). I feel so lucky to have been paired with Jeeseon! She made my first day in Seoul so very memorable, and I would book a tour with her again in a heartbeat! My tour experience was a 10/10!!

Excellent guide, good value tour - GJ was an excellent guide, lots of fun and really engaging and accommodating for our kid’s interests as well. It was a full itinerary for the 4 hours but very all at a pace.

Wonderful Walk with GJ - It was fast paced but perfect for us. GJ took us to the sites we wanted to see and also included a special Kpop stop for our 12 year old granddaughter

A Great Guide and Itinerary - Had a great time with Jeeseon. She is very knowledgeable and dependable. I had requested that we go to some off-the-beaten path places in Seoul and she set up a great itinerary. I was dealing with a recent back injury and had some mobility issues and she was very flexible. I would highly recommend her services.
