Amazing VIP Service! - It was our family's first time visiting Seoul and we booked four days of Private Tours with Here Korea Travel. Two of those days were with our English speaking tour guide named Vincent. He was our tour guide on our Private Seoul Highlight Tour and our Private Customizable Tour to Alpaca World, Nami Island, and Strawberry Picking.
Our two days with Vincent were perfect. He met our party of 12 in the lobby of our hotel on time and had our private bus and driver, Mr. O, waiting for us. Once on the bus he would tell us the itinerary for the day and was so friendly, funny, and kind. Our tour days with him went smoothly and we were able to go everywhere we had to go and even had time for some extra stops.
Vincent went above and beyond to make our days with him amazing. An example of how he would go above and beyond is how he had our driver drop us off right at the entrance of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Then we walked through the Palace grounds, which is quite big. When we got to the other end of the Palace grounds, we assumed we had to walk all the way back to the entrance. But to our surprise, he said Mr. O was on his way to meet us right where we were. Vincent was always one step ahead and knew exactly how to give us the VIP treatment. He would also always let us know whether we should leave our bags or jackets in the bus when we got to the different destinations. And he always assured us our belongings were safe in the bus with Mr. O watching them. He also knew the best picture taking spots and he was a professional photographer as well. He always knew the best angles and lighting for the perfect picture.
Our 2 days with Vincent were like being on a tour with a friend of the family. He learned all of our names and the kids in our group (between the ages of 13-24) became so attached to him that they couldn’t stop talking about him for weeks after our trip.
If you want a tour company that is reliable and trustworthy, do not hesitate to book your tour with Here Korea Travel. And if you are lucky, maybe Vincent will be your tour guide!

Heart and Seoul South Korean Vacation - I highly recommend using this tour company! And a huge shout out to our tour guide Vincent! My wife and I did a private tour with him for 3 days in Seoul, including a pick up from the Incheon airport. Vincent was incredibly resourceful in choosing fun and unique destinations, spoke impeccable English, and offered great conversation and lunch recommendations throughout our travels. It’s one thing to see Seoul (and the rest of South Korea), but our vacation was made so much better by having both the company and tour guide handle most of the logistics. We also learned a lot more with Vincent guiding us, as he offered a lot of context to each of our experiences. The destinations we saw were breathtaking, educational, exhilarating, and everything in between. If you’re planning to visit South Korea, do yourself a favor and pick out one of the many tours this company offers.

Layover Tour customed to our schedule - Highly recommended!
We had a long layover at the Incheon airport, so we decided to have a private tour so that we can customized to our trip, take our time to places that interests us. Vincent was awesome, he took us to the heart of Seoul. He took us to places and recommended what to do and what not to do. Short trip was trip was short and tiring but it was awesome. Will definitely go back for longer stay and will hire Vincent again!
Tips if you have a long layover:
Before your trip, you'll need to get K-ETA fillout online and be approved 72 hours before your arrival.
Once you arrive, you will need to talk to your airline crew or the ticketing office (located at transfer area near gate 26) to get your boarding pass stamped. Then walked to the security area, where you will show the security personnel your boading pass and passport. After security, they'll show you the way to the immigration. Once approved, you are free to go out. (By the way, don't forget to fill out the arrival declaration form. This is given by the airlines before plane arrival)
