Fabulous one day tour! - Alfo picked us up at our hotel and provided a day catered to our interests. He was kind, thoughtful and provided fabulous conversation during our time together, educating us on the history of his country as we went about our day. We had zero stress about getting about. He was also thoughtful of our time and always insisted on providing us with the shortest walk to his car. This was the perfect way to see Seoul in one day!

Great layover day - Had a great layover in Seoul. Jin was my guide. She was on time, great communication and felt safe with her traveling throughout town. She took lots of pics. I arrived back to the airport in plenty of time for my flight. Thank you Jin for a wonderful day!

Amazing experience - I was very happy with the tour. Booking was simple and the operator was very easy to reach. Pick-up and drop-off at the airport were straightforward. The van was clean and comfortable. I got to visit Gyeongbokgung Palace and gate, Bukchon Hanok Village, Insadong, and Jogyesa Temple. The highlight was Brian, who was my guide. He was so knowledgeable, personable, and he went out of his way to make the tour memorable for me. He was a wealth of knowledge and I learned so much. Thank you!

Perfect custom tour that was tailored to our needs. The coats provided were key to ensuring an enjoyable experience! - Brian spoke perfect English and couldn’t have been more knowledgeable. He gave us so much information, kept us as warm as possible with each stop, and his driving was relaxed and felt very safe.

Jin made our tour amazing. Private vehicle and personal pace. - This was a private vehicle for just our group and it didn’t disappoint. Jin was our guide and she was amazing, full of energy and information. We had about 10 hours and was able to customize the tour to fit our pace and schedule. We stopped for lunch among the sites and had a true Korean food experience. I would highly recommend this tour and spending your layover or time visiting the sites.

Make the most of your layover in Seoul with this tour! - We had a great tour with Joe! We had a shorter layover (7 hours) so it was a bit rushed but we made the most of it and Joe was very flexible with the itinerary. Having more than 7 hours would have been ideal! It was a great opportunity to see a bit of what Seoul has to offer. The palace was great! We loved the beautiful traditional village we got to walk through! It was also wonderful to go to a Korean bakery/cafe and enjoy a traditional Korean meal. We covered a lot! I highly recommend this tour and put in a special plug for tour guide Joe!

Quick visit to Seoul was memorable! - Brian was a great guide who provided lots of historical information. He took us to the palace and the Bukchon Hanok village. The weather was cold, but Brian provided hand warmers. He also took us to a restaurant for some authentic local cuisine. Great communication and coordination made this a smooth experience.
