Great way to get oriented to Seoul!

Of course everything our guide showed us was new to us, since we’d only arrived the night before. But it was all the many little things Bibiana pointed out that made the experience so very worthwhile! There were countless things I would have walked past without a second thought. But now we know how cool (literally) the bus shelters in Seouls are! And that the library showcases their books outside (!) on the plaza on weekends! And she took us into a little tea house just because it had the most amazing view of the traditional village rooftops juxtaposed against the modern skyline. And so much more.

Wonderful day

We spent a wonderful day with Jenny. She knew how to adapt the tour according to our wishes. We learned a lot thanks to her knowledge of Korean culture. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic personalised walking tour

We had an excellent walking tour with Su. She was friendly, engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the experience feel personal to our interests. She never rushed us, answered all of our questions, and thoughtfully adapted the tour for one member of our group recovering from a knee injury. Su took us to places we would never have found on our own and even introduced us to delicious Korean salt bread! She couldn’t have been more helpful, and the tour was one of the highlights of our time in Seoul. Highly recommended!

Disappointing

2 hour tour timing was shifted on us twice. Guide could speak almost no English and provided very little useful information. In addition, the guide had to end the tour 30 minutes early to get us into the secret garden, which could have been accounted for in our tour start time.

Walking Seoul

Walking Seoul tour with Jose was a excellent experience. My wife and I were able to experience Seoul like a local. Jose is very knowledgeable and took us to the best spots in the city. We will be back for sure

Great Introduction to Seoul!

Kim (Sungwhan) was allocated to us by Viator, or maybe another agency - unknown. Kim is a very nice man, helpful, affable and did take us to all of Seoul's special spots which we wouldn't have been able to go to on our own in such a short period of time. We literally sprinted across the sights, because he's very light on his feet and we really had to keep up with him. Having said that, he really managed to weave us in and out of the very crowded alleyways, points of interest etc, which we couldn't have done ourselves. He was also very patient with photos, as there was a lot to see, and even took a few for us himself! If there's one thing that could be improved on was his proficiency in English. I think we would have been able to get a lot more out of the tour in terms of historical context and specific information than we did. Having said that I think he managed well and definitely organised our morning well and gave us a very good introduction to Seoul.

Geri is very friendly

It was great meeting Geri. She helped us with all our questions and adapted to our preferences. It was a shame the temple was closed and we couldn't see the changing of the guard. She asks about your preferences and answers all your questions. We hope to see her again if we return to Seoul! We're very happy with her!!

A+++ for Nico!

Nico was fantastic! Very very accommodating and knowledgeable. He took my daughter and I to places off the beaten path including a ferry ride for our sore feet! He took the time to review and suggest a great private tour!!
