"We planned our Seoul food market tour with Kevin expecting to visit the two markets referenced in the details. After a few tastings and conversation, Kevin discovered we were staying in the heart of the second market and had already explored some of it earlier that day. He then asked if we would like to change things up a little and explore some parts of Seoul that were not on our itinerary. It was thoughtful and turned out to be more than expected. We had a great time walking areas of the city learning about the culture and history. Kevin's willingness to make to most of the experience for his clients created a more than memorable tour for us. Thank you Kevin, it was one of the highlights of our time in Seoul."
"Chris is so knowledgeable. We were not bored even for a second. If you are into history, definitely pick him as your tour guide. My family and me loved getting to know about history and the traditions of Seoul. He even took us to a local place for kimbap. "

"My family and I had a wonderful evening tour with Juli! She was incredibly knowledgeable, warm and made the entire experience so fun! We thoroughly enjoyed the Changgyeonggung Palace and Jogyesa Temple, which as a Korean adoptee, I was truly grateful to learn so much about the history and etiquette of both places! Our favorite part was the "market bites" of food we had at the end of the tour! As previous reviews have said, come hungry! We tried so many local hidden gems and devoured our way through the food, all while laughing and enjoying each stop with Juli! If you're considering this tour with her (or any tour!), you can't go wrong! Thank you Juli, for everything!!"
"We had a wonderful experience on our guided tour of Seoul. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and very kind. He made the tour interesting and enjoyable, sharing fascinating information about the city and its culture. His warm, friendly, and personal approach made us feel very comfortable throughout the visit.
We truly enjoyed every moment and finished the tour feeling very happy and grateful for such a memorable experience. Highly recommended!"
"Jason gave us a fantastic first day tour in Seoul. His communication was excellent. He arrived exactly when he said he would. He helped us learn public transportation and practiced with us on the tour. He was very knowledgeable about all we saw. He even took us to a trendy bakery that we went back to later. It was the absolute best thing we could have done our first morning in Seoul to set us up for a great visit. Thank you, Jason!"
"I had such a lovely time with Cristina! She really listened to what I wanted to see and made the whole experience feel very personal and spontaneous. We explored some beautiful places and even ended up having a Tarot card reading, which was so much fun!
It was the perfect way to start my time in Seoul and honestly made the rest of my trip even more special. Thank you, Cristina!
Ps:Sie sprich sehr gut Deutsch!!!"
