Worth visiting - Amazing tour! It was great to hear the incredible history and take in the beautiful views and architecture. Our tour guide, Joe was definitely one of the highlights of our visit! Joe's ability to communicate the vibrant history of the attractions we were visiting, whilst not making it boring was very refreshing. He frequently went above and beyond in order to get us in front of the line of most attractions. Not only that, but he was quick to snap some wonderful photos of our family. He was considerate to our needs as we had young kids travelling with us. He was also great with showing us and getting us to try local foods. The tour and our tour guide are enough to make us visit Seoul again!

Joe is wonderful! - We did a 2 day private tour of Seoul with Joe, and we thought he was wonderful! He knows all the best places to go, and he makes everything so fun. He keeps the tour flexible, so you can add or skip things as you like. We’re so glad that he was our guide, and we highly recommend him!

We had a fabulous day with Joe as our tour guide! - We had a wonderful day in Seoul with Joe as our tour guide. He filled the day with highlights from the Changing of the Guard at Gyeongbokgung Palace to Isadong St and Gwangjang Market. Joe organised a traditional Sth Korean lunch which was delicious and then happily extended our tour because our cruise ship was late docking, so he took us to an amazing lookout over Seoul. Nothing was too much trouble for this tremendous fellow!

Korea Seoul experience with Korea Tours lead by Tour Guide Mr Joe. - The Tour organised by Korea Tours with our Tour guide Mr Joe was an amazing experience to know about Seoul city tour for 4 days. The proposed visit places as kids friendly and allow us to better understand on the local culture and living style. Mr Joe was an excellent and friendly Tour Guide to understand and undertake the whole welfare of our family members during the journey. He recommended such a nice Korea food for us to experience the Korean cuisine. He was so friendly to approach for any needs during the trip and no hesitation to our request at all time. He has an excellent English command which is very easy and help us to understand and ask questions.
