This was undoubtedly one of the best excursions I have booked through Viator. Hun is an exceptional travel guide who takes great pride in his profession. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure our entire itinerary was covered, taking the extra time to thoroughly explain every detail along the way. He is punctual, courteous, and highly dedicated. I cannot recommend his services enough.
We had an excellent day touring Seoul with Soo. He took us to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, N Seoul Tower, Gwangjang Market, Jogyesa Temple, and Insadong. Soo was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared a lot of interesting history and cultural insights throughout the day. He was also great company and made the experience enjoyable for our entire family. One of the highlights was the food. Soo introduced us to a variety of delicious local dishes and snacks that we probably would not have discovered on our own. Experiencing Seoul through its food added a special touch to the tour. The car was very comfortable, and everything was well organized and stress-free. We especially appreciated how Soo answered all of our questions and helped us better understand Seoul and Korean culture. We highly recommend Soo to anyone looking for a private guide in Seoul. Thank you for a wonderful day!
Our guide, Moon, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the pace perfect for us. Taking a private tour is the way to go during the summer because you get an air con break in the car. lol. Moon was a great driver and went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable and provided great history of Seoul while driving and maneuvering traffic. An unforgettable day and we couldn’t have down it without Moon. Highly recommend.
We had the best day in Seoul with our tour guide, Hun! My friend had told me about him and how awesome he was, and she was totally right! Hun was so fun, kind, informative, punctual, and spoke great English! He was a Korean history major so he knew a lot of facts about all these important sites we saw. He also personally drove and picked up our family of 5 in his comfortable, spacious van, and drove very safely and adeptly around the Seoul streets. My three kids, husband and I loved our entire tour with him, and just the mental load that it took off of me from preparing all of this myself ahead of time… was priceless. He arranged for our hanbok rental AND photographer at Gyeongbokgung for the first part of our tour, and communicated well with me beforehand. We also visited Gwangjang Matket, Namsan Tower, Bukcheon Folk Village, Insadong, and more. He was also very flexible, so if we wanted to swap something out for another site, no problem! He has made lots of great relationships with the locals, so he is able to skip long lines at certain places or get us into places that many tourists cannot, and parking is never an issue with him (as it would most definitely be if we rented our own car!). He is such a personable, well-liked guy, and his energy and joy are contagious! I will recommend him to anyone that comes to Seoul and wants a private, intimate, fun tour! Thank you, Hun!!
They need a minimum of 3-4 passengers or they cancel 24 hours before. While they were very Nice about it, didn't lane much time to book another tour
Our local guide, Soo, brought us to see so many places and even helped us find the areas we were looking for. Our time with him was very relaxed and we did not feel rushed even though we did so much! Definitely recommend and will return to do another tour with him.
The most wonderful experience. Our guide Soo was friendly and explained everything in detail. Loved the private tour. So convenient with hotel pick up. They are super punctual and provided the best service. Highly recommended.
Moon was an absolutely wonderful tour guide and truly set the tone for an unforgettable first day in Seoul. From the very beginning, he showed how much he cared about our experience—regularly checking in on each of us (we were a group of five) to make sure everyone was doing well and comfortable. I especially appreciated how thoughtful he was about pacing the day, always building in opportunities for bathroom breaks and making sure no one felt rushed. What made the experience even more special was that our group didn’t know each other at the start—but by the end of the tour, we genuinely felt like friends. That speaks so much to Moon’s ability to create a warm, welcoming, and fun environment for everyone. Our tour happened to fall on a national holiday, which could have easily made things hectic, but Moon handled everything with professionalism and ease. He kept everything running smoothly and on time, all while remaining kind, patient, and incredibly accommodating. Beyond being an excellent guide, he’s also an amazing driver—which made the entire experience feel even more safe and relaxed. We all agreed at the end that Moon did a fantastic job. I’m so grateful he was our guide—his skill, attentiveness, and warm personality made such a strong first impression of Seoul. Highly recommend!
I can’t believe how incredible our trip to South Korea was—seriously, this tour guide company made the whole experience feel effortless, fun, and deeply memorable. From the very first message, they were warm, organized, and clearly passionate about sharing their country with us. Every day was thoughtfully planned, but never felt rushed. We got the perfect mix of iconic sights, hidden gems, and local experiences that we never would’ve found on our own. Our guide explained the culture, history, and “why it matters” behind everything we saw, which made even the most famous places feel fresh and exciting. I learned so much—not in a boring way, but in a “wow, that’s amazing” way the entire time. The itinerary was also incredibly considerate. We had excellent pacing, smart travel planning, and helpful tips that made navigating Korea smooth and stress-free. On top of that, their communication was top-tier: clear instructions, quick responses, and genuine care throughout the trip. Most of all, it felt like we weren’t just touring—we were truly welcomed. The energy of the team was contagious, and our guide’s attention to detail showed in every small moment. By the end, we didn’t just feel like tourists—we felt like friends who’d spent quality time exploring a beautiful place together. If you’re even slightly on the fence about booking a tour in South Korea, don’t be. This company is the real deal. Book with them—you’ll laugh, you’ll discover, and you’ll leave wanting to go back immediately. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a wonderful Seo Tour with Moon. He's highly knowledgeable and patient which is a plus when traveling with small kids. This tour was definitely a highlight of out trip and we cant wait to come back to SK to see more of the country with Awesome Tours. 100% recommend Thanks for the great day!
