"Thomas is a great guide- a loud laugher who walks fast and has a plan. We really enjoyed our tour with Thomas because he was a friendly guy who was fun to be around and we covered a lot of ground he's a fast Walker and knew where he was going and when we got to a place that was crowded he stood in line and we got to find the nice seats. all these things made it a really top notch tour and we've done these around the world.

"We had an incredible experience with Jason! He was exceptionally accommodating and flexible, especially when the weather tried to ruin our plans. Despite the rain dampening our original itinerary, Jason didn't miss a beat and quickly adjusted to make sure we still had a great time. He even went over his scheduled time to ensure we didn't miss out on any of the highlights. If you're looking for a guide who truly cares about his guests and can handle any curveball, Jason is your guy. "

"We had such a great experience on this tour. What really made it stand out was how Ho Jin took us to spots we never would have found on our own—those hidden gems ended up being the highlight of the day. The whole vibe was super laid-back and easygoing, which made it feel more like exploring with a friend than being on a structured tour. Nothing felt rushed, and we had plenty of time to actually enjoy each place. Highly recommend if you want something relaxed but still really memorable."

"As one of the members in our group was 92 years old, we chose a private tour to see the DMZ to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. Thomas delivered with a customized itinerary taking into account our group's relatively limited mobility. Thomas was responsive and clear with all communication, which made planning and coordination very easy. Hotel pick-up was on time and Thomas' van was spacious and comfortable. We made it through our itinerary at an ideal pace without feeling too rushed. Along the way, we had a very engaging discussion about the history and events of the Korean War and modern Korean culture. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch at a restaurant in the area, for an additional cost. The tour included visits to mountaintop observation decks, but unfortunately the weather was less than ideal due to dust from Central Asia creating low clouds that greatly reduced visibility. With the Joint Security Area closed to tours at the time we took it (March 2026), the highlight of the experience was entering the infiltration tunnel and reaching a point only 170 meters away from the North Korean border. There are three main reasons that made Thomas the perfect guide for our DMZ tour. First, Thomas is an expert photographer and he took photos of our group that not only helped to make the best of a day with less-than-ideal weather but also will serve as priceless mementos of our experience. Second, when one of our group members decided they were physically unable to complete the infiltration tunnel portion of the tour, Thomas stayed behind with them and took some extra photos. Third, during our conversations throughout the day, Thomas learned more about our group's background and had the flexibility to extend our itinerary to include one extra site that was relevant to our group. If you want a thoughtful and courteous guide who makes planning your tour easy, enriches your experience with insightful discussions and also takes excellent photos for you to have as a keepsake, then I highly recommend Thomas."

"We had a terrific time with Ho Jin. He is easy going, knowledgeable and flexible. We thoroughly enjoyed the DMZ tour. It was the perfect start to our trip! Don’t think twice and book Ho Jin! You won’t regret it!"

"Rossi delivered an outstanding customized tour for our family, thoughtfully tailoring the experience to include our requested stops at Cheonggyecheon Stream, Gwangjang Market, and Dongdaemun Design Plaza, along with notable landmarks along the way. The tour was well-paced, engaging, and informative, and Rossi was always ready to capture special family moments with photos and helpful commentary throughout the journey. We highly recommend him for anyone looking for a personalized and memorable tour experience."

"We had a lovely day with Juli exploring and learning about the landmarks and history of Seoul. She also had wonderful local food recommendations. We enjoyed our time with Juli immensely."

"The tour with Ho Jin was a delight. Ho Jin is very friendly, knows great spots in the city, and is very patient. He speaks excellent English and Spanish. Thank you so much for the wonderful day!"

"Chris Lee guided us today through Namdaemun Market and its winding alleys — a sensory journey into the soul of Korean cuisine. Between steaming bowls of broth, mandu, the spicy aroma of tteokbokki, and the savory sizzle of fish cakes (odeng), every step became a small discovery. The experience was seasoned not only with gochugaru and sesame oil, but with his stories — quiet, warm, and full of life. Chris doesn’t just know the best stalls; he knows the people behind them. And perhaps that’s exactly it: this web of encounters, glances, and smiles that, for a moment, makes you part of it. You arrive as a visitor — and are welcomed like an old friend. His introduction to Korean culture felt like a perfectly composed banchan arrangement: diverse, surprising, and served with great attention to detail."

"Jin is a walking encyclopedia for Korea. Super passionate about Seoul. Most importantly, he was very kind and patient. I visited with my parents and he customized the pace of the tour to their needs. He took us to a restaurant known for soup we’ve never tried and wouldn’t have found on our own. Best guide for first time visitors. Thank you Jin! "
