Terrific day, great guide
"Ho Jin was a terrific guide, He shared lots of information throughout our day, and took us to our next appointment that was right after our time with Ho Jin ended. He prepared us beautifully for what would would see, or not see in the DMZ, and made sure that we had the time we needed at the Gloucester Memorial. Even our young son was moved by the Memorial - it is so we ll done, beautifully presenting the story and the heroism of that crucial battle. Thank you Ho Jin. It was a pleasure and our good fortune to book with you."

Perfect Sightseeing
"Good Morning, We had a very nice experiense with Ho Hin. He is a very friendly and funny guy, well informed and always „elegant in the background“! We were a couple with two girls: 14 and 24 years old and we all would say that you can be happy to be with him as a guide! "

Great Time
"Our family met Ho Jin for a walking tour around Seoul and were really impressed. He speaks excellent English and we felt comfortable enough to ask him anything, and he always gave a thoughtful response. Ho Jin doesnt speak all the time, which we liked - sometimes it’s nice just to walk around and take everything in. The walking tour went past most of the major attractions and he gave us a few tips on what to see and what wasn’t worth it. The tour was great value for money. "

Great start to exploring Seoul
"Marvellous way to experience Seoul as a first time visitor. Ho- Jin is a great guide. Very chill, knowledgeable and great energy. I was able to see quite a few incredible landmarks and sights and some hidden gems. I wish the tour was longer. Would highly recommend. "

Energetic and experienced foodie guide!
"Priscilla was initially quick to respond, happily adapted our food tour to the wishes of our party and then took us on an entertaining and delightful tour, with many insights along the way. She is full of energy, has a great sense of humor and is someone I would highly recommend for such an exploratory journey."

Hidden gems with Ho Jin!
"I booked a 3 hour walking tour to hit the highlights on my first visit to Seoul....I especially appreciated some "secret" spots that I would have never found on my own, including some nice views of the city and the palace. He has a lot of knowledge to share and it was good to learn more about the history and culture!"

Fantastic DMZ tour
"The most fantastic trip to the DMZ with Ho Jin. We felt at home with Ho straight away. It was my son’s 21st Birthday and Ho even bought him a small present to remember his birthday trip. Ho is so knowledgable and has a lovely character. I would book again in a heartbeat. Fabulous."

Perfect introduction to Seoul
"We only had few hours in Seoul and wanted to maximise our sightseeing and Sarah took us to lots of fantastic historical sights and pointed out things we could do later in the day - including the Contemporary History Museum which I visited later in the day to learn about the Korean war which was absolutely fascinating. Sarah had an extremely high level of knowledge in terms of Korean history and culture. She spoke excellent English. We were curious what it would be like having someone who wasn't born in Korea lead our tour but I was very impressed with the whole experience."

Street food and hidden gems-terrific day!
"What started out as a street food tour included so many tid bits and amazing stops that we learned so much more than just “food” in Seoul. Julian was a delight-a native who has traveled the world and is back home. In addition to showing us which food stands were the best for different “snacks”, the historical insights to the country he added provided tremendous color. In addition , when you think of street food, you think of small snacks. This was a feast! By the end of the day we couldn't eat another bite! is a highly recommended tour and if you can, take it with Julian. "

Customized Authentic Korean Street Food
"Highly recommend Pricilla. She is a gem and a fantastic host. She shared a lot of knowledge that our foodie family of five treasured. She also was incredibly productive during the time allotted in shuffling us to two different markets. And even though the title is 10 foods, there were seemingly 3x that. The list of items we enjoyed included but not limited to: clam noodle soup, japchae, bibimbap, kimchi/pork/red bean dumplings at a sung table, fried rice balls with red bean, fried rice cake with pork, donut kruller, classic fried chicken, organic ice cream, brown sugar pancake, chives/kimchi/potato/mungbean rice pancake, fried oysters, tteok-bokki, rice juice, Terra beer, rice wine, proprietary gochujang and kimchi at most restaurants. It was quite an adventure for us! Definitely would recommend this tour and would do it again during my next visit to Seoul!"
