Jason was a nice guide. Very accommodating. Friendly. Showed us some interesting, off the beaten track locations. Highly recommend as a quick way to kick off a visit to Seoul.
We ended up with a flight delay and "stuck" in South Korea for about a day. We decided to make the most of it and try and see a bit of Seoul. The airport is quite far from the city, about an hour each way so we needed something short. This tour was perfect, loved having a personal tour guide to ask questions to. We were kind of just along for the ride but if you have specific things you want to do, see, eat or shop for it can be catered for you. We enjoyed seeing and learning about the city. Our tour guide was very kind, great tour!
Jason made it a great experience, with flight delays and closers the plans changed and he put together an itinerary that was perfect! He also had a ton of great recommendations!
Great way to get our feet wet after first arriving in Seoul. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and very fun to hang out with an we got more acquainted with the city.
I only had a couple of hours so the tour was brief but very enjoyable. Cristina was very accommodating with regards to our meeting place and adapted the tour accordingly.
We had a great experience with our guide Cristina. She covered a broad range of topics on our tour and answered all of our various questions, including about food, shopping, architecture, history, Korean social life, Korean work life, and cultural trends. She was able to make the tour interesting for both our teenage daughter as well as us parents.
I booked a 3 hour walking tour to hit the highlights on my first visit to Seoul....I especially appreciated some "secret" spots that I would have never found on my own, including some nice views of the city and the palace. He has a lot of knowledge to share and it was good to learn more about the history and culture!
Christina tailored our tour to our interests. We learned lots about the culture, about which we knew little. She was patient when someone wondered off but kept us moving along. She was delightful.
My wife and I had an excellent experience with Cristina. The Kickstart tour was a perfect way to start our five days in Seoul and our first time in South Korea. Cristina is a wealth of knowledge and she answered all of our questions. We highly recommend Cristina and this tour.
Guide was on time and very kind. However, we felt like we were trying to extract information from him. At no point did he seem forthcoming with anything. I do acknowledge he knew what he was talking about, but it just felt like we were bugging him to get it.
