The walk was really cool! There were around 10 people which was still managable group size to walk together. June was very wellspoken guide. The way he explained us the history and culture was interesting and informative. He was also answering all our questions. There was some walking so be prepared for hills and stairs. Thanks a lot!
Wonderful introduction to Seoul and Korean history, showing me things I wouldn’t have found on my own with really cool details. So friendly and welcoming. Perfect way to start my Seoul adventure- thanks June.

We enjoyed our guide June very much. Thank you very much!
Super informative, super fun
Great tour with great political historical and cultural insughts
We arrived at exit 9 in the main square as a ranged. June was exceptionally punctual spoke amazing English and provided us all with ear pieces so we could easily hear his communications The tour is exactly 2 hours and includes one area that is uphill for maybe a couple of hundred meters and another area that has steps down other than that the tour is very easy walking. The coverage of topics was massive he is informative about current day policies as well as historical events. We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it as a must do to fill in an easy few hours. We would never have found some of the locations that he took us to. Thankyou
Great walking tour, June was very polite and informative, and very happy to answer all of our questions:)
Our guide June was super helpful and I really enjoyed the tour!
We really enjoyed our tour, on a good pace but we still got a lot of information and high lights in korea. Our guide was really pleasant and told us about the korean culture and ways. I would recommend this tour to everyone!
