We had a fantastic time on this tour despite the rainy weather. Eric was friendly, knowledgeable and made the day both informative and enjoyable. The itinerary was very well planned, with a great mix of history, culture and local highlights. We especially appreciated the extra information and photo links provided afterwards, a very thoughtful touch. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an engaging and authentic experience.
Thank you Julie for your kind words. The photos will show you what landmarks are like on a clear day.
A sunny day in Seoul made even better by an expert-led walking tour. Eric is remarkably knowledgeable, effortlessly bridging the gap between historic Korean heritage and contemporary life. His commentary turned a simple stroll into a fascinating masterclass on the city’s evolution.
Thank you Erika for your kind words. We were lucky to have such great weather.
This was an incredible and in depth tour on the history of the different dynasty’s that ruled Korea as well as more recent history post the Korean War. Eric’s knowledge was extremely impressive and he had the most in detail oriented answer to almost every question we asked. He also made most of the tour in chronological order making it easy to follow and remember. Of all the tours globally I’ve done on history this is one of the top for sure - highly recommend.
Thank you Ashwin for your kind words. I was happy to receive your insightful questions.
The tour was great, I learned a lot about the city and its history, as well as the history of South Korea. Eric is knowledgeable and passionate about history and made the tour fun while you learn more than just the headlines about the city. This was one of my favorite experiences of my trip. Would highly recommend.
Thank you Anthony for your kind words. I'm glad it was fun.
Eric knows a lot about the history of the city of Seoul and is able to supplement it with current data from the country. It is a very good tour for those who want to know more about the history of the city and the Korean people. I highly recommend it. Eric is a very attentive guide. English is not my first language and despite this we were able to communicate well in English, with very good explanations from you. The day of the tour was very cold and took me some Korean hotpacks to keep my hands warm.
Thank you Senead for your kind words. It was a pleasure meeting you.
Book this history tour with Eric! I’ve visited many countries, had great experiences with all my walking tours, but can honestly say this tour with Eric was exceptional. From the start to the end the information gained has helped me have a greater understanding of the history and culture of Seoul South Korea and Korean Peninsula. As the tour progressed I began to feel immersed an able to understand what was being said, not always the case with all of my History Tours in the past. I felt very comfortable chatting with Eric as the tour unfolded. I very much appreciated being able to as for greater clarity on some of the issues. If you’re reading this review don’t hesitate book it, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks Eric usually the next day I’ve forgotten some of the dates that are given on tours. But seem to have remembered most that you gave me.
Thank you Mark for your kind words. I hope to see you once more when you visit Korea again.
I had a wonderful afternoon exploring parts of Seoul, with an excellent guide who answered many questions along the way.
Thank you Susie for your kind words.
Well versed in Korean history and culture with a passion. Was patient given my mistake in arriving at Bosingak Bell (Museum) instead of Bosingak Bell Pavilion!
Thank you Darron for your kind words. Glad you eventually made it.
Great for a first day in Korea. I did this tour at the end of my trip, but I wish I did it on day one. Eric presented an interesting overview of Korean history and even found vegetarian restaurants near my hotel.
Thank you Trevor for your kind words. Glad it was helpful.
Very interesting interesting and knowledgable guide, Eric did a fantastic job of taking us to some historical sites and telling us the history of Korea, with some fun anecdotes. We highly recommend Eric if you are interested in the history of Korea and the interesting party's of Seoul.
Thank you Dana for your kind words.
