Soul seen very privately 😊 - We had four really nice hours of sightseeing with GJ. Won Jee Eun. She showed us so many interesting places, told us a lot about history and tradition and responded to our wishes. GJ is sooo friendly and warm! We can really recommend them ☺️

Fantastic time spent with... - Fantastic time spent with Andrew visiting the sites that others won’t take you to and due to his background and knowledge he keeps it interesting and informative throughout. Andrew understood exactly what we wanted to do and just as importantly not wanted to do and this made everything seem very personalised to us. Would throughly recommend Andrew and this tour to anyone visiting Seoul.

Learned so much! - GJ was an amazing tour guide and was very knowledgeable about Korean history and culture. Even though my friend and I lived in Seoul many years ago, we learned so much more about Korea during this 4 hour walking tour!

A Worthwhile Experience - GJ was the best host with a litany of facts and tidbits about Korea. She would answer my questions like Google! I loved laughing with her and exchanging stories. I wish I could have spent the entire day with her because of how engaging and animated she is — GJ truly gave me a deeper appreciation for Korea’s culture, politics, history, and even art. 10/10 experience.

Walking tour of central Seoul - This was an excellent walking tour of Seoul, encompassing the history, culture and food of Seoul. Our guide GJ tailored the tour to our interests. We visited the market ( had delicious dumplings) , the palace, museum and walked through interesting parts of the city. The marble pagoda was an unexpected surprise.

Fantastic customized tour by guide GJ - Our guide GJ was fantastic! I was traveling with 3 college age kids, who had very different interests. GJ gave us a high energy, customized tour that hit all the things that each one of us wanted -- the market, the running routes, the shops, the history and current issues. My kids don't usually enjoy guided tours, but having GJ today changed their perspective. Thank you so much GJ!

Wonderful family walking tour in Seoul - Jeeseon was a great guide and our family of four really enjoyed the tour she planned out for us. We walked through the city and got to have a great variety of experiences - street markets, old village, learned a little bit about K-pop, and palaces - and all this within the four hours we had booked with her. She was friendly and personable and kept the tour interesting for our 17 and 13 year old sons. Highly recommend!
