Wonderful tour for our family of 5. The palace and the two museums were excellent and our guide’s knowledge was fantastic.
Our guide, Joe, was friendly and knowledgeable. He answered all questions well. It was a small group and that made the experience better.
Our guide Joe was great and very knowledgeable. I feel like I got a good introduction to Korean history and culture. The palace was more bigger and more interesting that I thought it would be thanks to Joe's stories.
Joe was a fantastic tour guide and very knowledgeable and kind! The changing of the guard is a must see. Fantastic way to spend the morning.
We had a great day out with Jay Kim. He was able to provide us with some history of Korea dating back to the Joseon Dynasty and how this related to the palace we were visiting. His knowledge of the palace was fantastic. We then went to Bukchon and he took us through the many alleyways and pointed out some of the changes made recently so that owners could attract tourists, such as turning their houses into cafes. We finished the day at Insadong where he left us and we wandered the streets, checking out some of the shopping on offer.

Excellent personalized tour. Stella, our guide, was so welcoming and enthusiastic. Got a good feel for the city of Seoul. Stella helped us feel her warmth and oozed pride for her country.
Stella was amazing. Her tour was informative, interesting, and a lot of fun. We saw so many sights and she was able to answer all of our questions. My 20 year old son was equally as impressed with the tour and Stella's knowledge. I highly recommend the tour and Stella!
