Flexible private Führung in Seoul (Optional Layover)

We had a 14 hour layover in Seoul and opted for the 9-hour layover tour! Soo was our guide & made it absolutely unforgettable. He met us right inside the airport, which took all the stress out of navigating, and from there he was the most kind, professional, and passionate guide we could’ve asked for. In just one day we hit: Gyeongbokgung Palace Bukchon Hanok Village Gwangjang Market - where we tried the Netflix street food noodles + dumplings. Soo even asked the chef for a photo with us! N Seoul Tower Starfield Library Bongeunsa Temple Soo is an amazing driver and went above and beyond the whole time. He covered parking + almost all admission fees, only the cable car was extra. You can tell he’s truly educated and passionate about Korean culture — his stories made every stop come alive. What really stood out: the locals clearly love him too. He knows so many people that we even got special parking in super busy areas. That local connection made the tour feel effortless and VIP. If you have a layover and want to actually SEE Seoul without the hassle, book Soo. He’s friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel like friends by the end. Seriously so great meeting him and having him tour us around!

Hun was an amazing tour guide. He made Seoul come alive for my family. He is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very kind. He loves Seoul and Korea and he gave my family an experience they will always remember. I highly recommend this tour!!’

Thank you for a great day in korea! We had a great experience during airport transit. Super knowledgeable, friendly and communication was also easy and smooth. Highly recommend!

We had a 12 hour layover at Incheon Airport, so we wanted to book a tour to see some sights in Korea before our flight back home - and we're glad we did! Soo was very friendly, organized, and knowledgeable, sharing many interesting facts about Korean culture and history with us. Although we were a bit short on time, we were still able to visit 6 different locations and really enjoyed our time at each of them! Soo also knew some great photo spots and took amazing photos for us. We definitely recommend this experience to others who have some time to kill during their layover in Korea 😊 Thank you Soo again!

Our tour was perfect. Soo helped us plan in advance, then make on-the-fly adjustments the night before and during the day to accommodate our exhausted children (aged 8 and 11). He was efficient, friendly and knowledgeable- and his English was impeccable. He planned the day to avoid major crowds at sights, and also had several spots that were tucked away and exclusive to him / his company that allowed us to get even better photos and experiences. He engaged with our shy children, drawing them out of their shells by chats about Pokemon, sharing facts and stories about his personal life and generally just being a lovely person. He recommended a great spot for lunch we all enjoyed, and showed us shops that had things for everyone for souvenirs (even a Pokemon pack my son had been searching for across 2 countries). He also took the beat photos we got of our entire 12-day vacation across Japan and Korea - seriously amazing photographs in beautiful spots. I would 100000% recommend him to anyone and would absolutely seek him out again if we go back to Seoul.

5 days before my daughter and I travelled to Korea, I messaged Awesome Tour and communicated with Hun (the owner of Awesome Tour) through WhatsApp. I sent him our itinerary - arrived Incheon Airport on Thursday evening and the next day flight was not until Friday evening. At first, we wanted to book the flexible night tour but Hun was very helpful in answering my questions and concerns. He convinced me to switch to the day tour instead and that we would have enough time to see places before getting dropped off at the airport. Since my daughter is crazy about Korean skincare products, Hun also suggested for us to stay in Myeondong so we could enjoy the night market on our own and to be able to shop at Olive Young and some other shops that sell skincare products. We listened to his advice and had the best time at the Myeondong night market. We were picked up on time the next morning by Hun in a large and comfortable vehicle. We were picked up at 7.15 am and were dropped off at the airport by 2.30 pm. In that 7 hours, we were able to visit Jogyesa Temple, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, Namsan Tower and Gwangjang Market. Hun is the best tour guide anyone could have asked for. He is friendly, funny, knowledgeable and famous (he knows everybody!!). The whole time we were touring, we felt like we were with a good friend. It was filled with laughters and great conversation of the difference in the culture and lifestyles. The trip was not rushed, we took our own sweet time and Hun took great pictures of us! We wanted to wear Hanbok so he brought us to the place which had a reasonable price and took less than 20 mins to dress both of us up. At Gwangjang Market, we braved our hearts and did the wildest thing ever! He taught us how to eat the beef tartare with chopped live octopus and raw egg yolk. It was delicious and fresh! He also bought us twisted glutinous rice donut (Chaapsal Kkwaebegi) which tasted amazing! I am smiling while typing this thinking of the beautiful time we had in Seoul. We miss Hun already! We will definitely book Awesome Tour again next time. Thank you so much, Hun!

We had a great tour with Hun. It was the perfect combination of history and fun. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited. We were able to go at our own pace.

This was such a wonderful private tour and perfect for our 13 hour layover in Incheon. Soo was our guide for the day and he did a great job communicating with us prior to our arrival and came to the airport terminal to pick us up. The vehicle was a large mini van and very comfortable for our family of four plus luggage. He customized the day for our interests - we saw the Starfield Library, Gyeongbokgung Palace (including renting hanboks, Korean traditional attire which was so amazing for photos), Bukchonhanok village (where we had traditional Korean chicken soup and rice) and went shopping, and finally Myeongdong Street (Roof cat me cafe). The cat cafe was incredible and my cat loving daughter was in heaven! Then Soo took us back to the airport with plenty of time to make our evening flight. All in all just an amazing day - he was incredibly kind, patient and personable and his English js also excellent. Thanks so much Soo! .

Hun was awesome. He gave us a terrific 10-hour tour of Seoul during our layover. Friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend.

My brother and I had a wonderful time touring around Seoul for a day with Hun. He is knowledgeable, speaks great English, and seems to know everyone we come across. It was like touring with a local celebrity as our guide.
