Great Walking Tour Led by Jessica! - I went on this tour on a solo trip to Seoul and it was incredible! Jessica was our group tour guide and she gave us an in-depth explanation of the challenges facing young people in South Korea. It was also a great tour because we had the opportunity to stop at a cute coffee shop along the way. I would recommend this tour for others who are interested in learning more about what it’s like to actually live in Seoul!

Excellent, Insightful Tour. - Unfortunately, I lost the first review so this is a shorter version. Excellent Tour thanks to Jessica. If you want to learn about the life challenges that young adults face in Korea then this is the trip for you. Jessica gave an insightful look into the Korea that, I as a tourist, did not know about. The tour itself is a considerable walk however Jessica managed the pace accordingly. I would certainly recommend this tour.

An Amazing Experience - Jessica was a fantastic host for this tour, and she taught us so much about Korean society and some of the lesser discussed challenges faced by Koreans. This tour is a brilliant way to learn more about Korean life and we would recommend it for anyone. Jessica is very knowledgeable and engaging and ensured we covered a wide range of locations and topics during the tour. Will be back again on our next trip to Seoul.

Rainy but still Impactful - The weather was not great for the tour (rainy the whole time), but Jessica is super engaging and modified the tour while still sharing all the important information. I found the locations provided a great backdrop for the concepts shared including beauty, interpersomal relationships, and even suicide. This is an essential tour if you want to truly understand Korea.
