Great Experience with an Awesome Guide
Jun is fantastic. He was very easy to communicate with prior to the trip and provided lots of feedback on making this tour more personalized. He helped us dive deeper into Korean history while also seeing some birds and nature. He picked us up directly from the hotel and dropped us off afterwards. I would highly recommend Jun to anyone.

I’ve traveled the world and have done many tours. All I can say is the Jun is without a doubt one of the best tour guides I have ever had. His English is perfect which is nice! He is so charismatic and knowledgeable and made this trip extra memorable. He truly knows hidden gems which I think is critical for any tour. I would say book without hesitation!!!

Best Tour Guide
We had the most wonderful day thanks to our tour guide and driver, Jun! From the moment we got in the car, it was clear we were in great hands. Jun was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and managed to curate a perfect day for the two of us.
The car was super comfortable, and everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. What really stood out, though, was Jun himself. He made great conversation throughout the day and is genuinely one of those people who makes an experience feel special. My boyfriend and I left feeling like we'd made a friend.
If you're lucky enough to have Jun as your guide, you're in for a treat. Highly recommend!

Jun is a very nice and kind guide, he speaks perfect English and told us a lot of things about Korean history, tradition, culture, habits, etc... we all felt the passion he has for his job and shared his enthusiasm during the whole tour. We really liked Seoul and enjoyed it through his eyes. Thank you, Jun!!!

Strongly recommended tours
We went there with kids and got picked up at the hotel. Really nice comfortable car so the journey was pleasant. The guide was super nice, friendly and very educational in his guiding. We got to ask questions we wouldn’t been able to if we went with any of the group tours. He went the extra mile in everything so we were supper happy when we came home. As we went there with kids, safety was a priority and we had full trust in the guide. Strongly recommended!

DMZ tour with NOMADIA
My family and I did the half day tour to DMZ and it was an eye opener experience to understand more the history of Korea and understand the conflicts that this beautiful country has gone through. Jun is a great tour guide and walked us through the main points in DMZ and was very effective with the time. I strongly recommend it if you if you are looking to understand with sympathy their history

Mr JUN was excellent and ponctual —knowledgeable, clear, and engaging throughout the entire day. They explained the history and significance of each site (Third Tunnel, Dora Observatory, Imjingak) in a way that was easy to follow and truly interesting, while staying respectful of the sensitive location.
