Very Enjoyable Tour

This was a great tour. The tour guide Jung was exceptional. She provided a lot of information and gave clear directions regarding meeting times and location. Jung perfectly timed the tour so that we arrived prior to the crowds.

Great Tour to get to know Seoul

We had a great Tour with Jung. The pickup in front of the hotel was on time and made the whole experience essier. The Palace was great fun to stroll arround in the rented hanbok costumes. Jung was always able to answer all the questions. If you want a relaxing moment book the tea ceremony. So worth it

Great tour

A great tour that covers all highlights of Seoul without stressing around in the subway. Song was a kind and friendly guide who answered all our questions and made sure, we have an amazing time. My personal highlight was the tea ceremony at the end of the tour. The tea master was a very lovely woman who took her time to give us an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend.

Great Hanbok experience, historic detail, palace tour, tea ceremony and shopping.

Even though we had an unexpected last minute change of tour guide and a bit of confusion on the content (hanbok experience left out, but was added back in by tour guide). It was a great tour of the palace with most choosing hanboks and having great photos and experience. We did miss the changing of the guard. The remaining tour was great, transport was most appreciated between sights. It was a holiday weekend and crowds were to be expected, so keep that in mind when booking. Our favorite stop was a private tea ceremony with a lovely woman who was so kind and informative. Our last stop was the shopping area where we were able to make purchases from local artisans like a personal hand stamp and designer bag. We were able to opt out of of return to relax in the area longer. Our tour guide was wonderful with adding details ant each stop and translating when needed. A+.

Excellent way to see Seoul in a Day

Where do I begin! I signed up for this tour to get a convenient tour of many of Seoul's major palaces and sites. It was above and beyond what I expected. I took the tour with my brother, and we were picked up by our driver Min, who was excellent and shuttled us around the day. Even though it was October, the weather was in the 80s that day, and it was amazing to get to sit down in the AC as a little break as we were brought from place to place. We got Jung, as our tour guide, and could not have been happier. She had great, positive energy that helped set the mood throughout the day. She was knowledgeable, and gave us background on each area and historical facts, before letting us go off on our own. I appreciated this style a lot because I enjoy having time on my own to take pictures, use the restroom, or just relax. Jung still was always nearby - and let us know the best picture spots at the palace, and helped take pictures for us at N Seoul Tower. I loved the Hanbok rental experience, and we were able to watch the changing of the guard and take many palace pictures with it. Many many other Koreans and tourists will have it on, and you do not have to worry about being in the minority! I had also wondered if I selected the hanbok option - will I have to wear it almost day. The answer is no, we change back into our day clothes after the palace. Everything was very well planned, seamless, while still giving us our independence - which is exactly the structure I really enjoy. Also - the tea ceremony was a wonderful experience, where we were able to partake in a traditional tea ceremony and learn more about Korean culture. It was very intimate, with a wonderful elder lady leading us. I would absolutely recommend this tour. It helps you get so much done without ever feeling rushed. Thank you so much Jung, Min, and the team!
