Andrew was a fantastic...

Worth a one day fun trip
The trip was worth paying for and I highly appreciate tour guide(Andrew)'s passion. He would guide you through all the spots together and shares insider knowledges as a Korean. I, the reviwer is also Korean and as a Korean the trip schedule was definately exciting where we were taken to amazing places. Especially the 3rd tunnel was tiing but memorable. Decent time management in each spots as well. I would definately recommend this tour to my foreign and Korean friends.

Excellent attention from Andrew.
Andrew, a local guide, is very professional, friendly, kind, and charismatic. Highly recommended tour. To the fullest!
C
Had a great experience...
Had a great experience with Roy. The only thing we would change about the tour is having more time for photos before the walking tour. The suspension bridge, gondola, and the DMZ tour were excellent and we enjoyed each stop. There were a lot of uphill activities on the tour so someone with mobility problems may find the tour challenging.

A full day out
Quite a walk up the mountain to get to the bridge but worth the walk . Gondola was good . Be prepared for a long and difficult walk when you go to the 3rd tunnel at the DMZ .

Group tour that feels like a private tour!
We all felt this tour was a small group tour that felt like a private tour! Patrick was the best!! Funny, informative, with good music and a comfortable van! Excellent time management and highlights of key things to do and knowledge to share!

Great Group Tour that feels Private!
This tour was EXCELLENT! We had 1 day in Seoul and this tour allowed us to maximize our time and visit! Patrick was a superb guide. He got us quickly to our spots, first to all attractions actually! This meant we had ample time to visit without crowds! He drove well in a smaller Mercedes van that allowed a more intimate experience instead of those massive tour buses. 14 people in total in the van and it felt always like you were the only one! Patrick was informative and knew just what to tell you about, what to avoid, and how to move through areas well while giving ample time for questions and private review of the areas. Great tour I would always recommend!

DMZ tour
Our tour guy Sean Kim was the best. We had a really good time. He explained everything about the trip, and did not hesitate to answer any questions we might have about the trip.

DMZ Tour
Third time I visit Seoul and finally decided to visit the DMZ. Very interesting tour including the gondola and the third tunnel. Thanks Sean for the tour!
