You'll be paired with guides that are passionate about the place they call home and who choose to spend their free time sharing it with like-minded travelers matched to them.

Seeing Seoul with Sujeoung was a wonderful treat. First off, my flight was delayed and Sujeoung graciously adjusted our meeting time to accommodate the delay. The day was perfectly designed according to my request: a tour of Changdukgong Palace and grounds; Hanok village; Ikseon Dong; a traditional tea break; tasting some street food such as egg bread, bungoh, chestnuts; a tour of Gwangjang Market and sampling some of the traditional delicacies; ending the day with a walk along Chungyechun Stream and Myeong-dong. This tour made me want to come back to Seoul and see more of the city and the rest of South Korea. Thank you, Sujeoung!

My host Melissa was lovely and easy to get along with, she did the upmost to ensure i had a wonderful experience. I booked this experience on for my first day in Seoul which was very helpful in seeing a lot in short amount of time and helped in working out transportation and where abouts to go, if i had to do this on my own it would have taken a lot longer to work out where to go and find all the places of interest, also travelling alone it was great to have someone take photos and Melissa also informative on the places we visited. Would definitely recommend

My guide Oki planned the day with what I asked for and some more. She was on time, professional, friendly and easy going. I felt like I was out with a close friend, literally centered the tour around me. I recommend the tour. Can't wait to book again.
