Great insights into modern Korea - My wife and our grown son (currently living in Korea) and wanted a bit deeper look into Korean youth culture, and June really delivered. With a strong background in history and a very real and personal connection to the content, he put in context important issues of economic and social pressures facing Korean youth, and the serious implications of those pressures. As a visitor, Korea has been a wonderful place to see, and we marvel at so many things that work so well. Plus great food, and multiple times people showed us above and beyond kindness. June's tour added a layer of richness to that experience, and if you want that additional depth, I highly recommend this tour, and encourage you to book it!

A fun walking tour about life in Seoul - The tour provides an extensive overview of life in Seoul and korean culture. Jessica was fun and extremely knowledgeable. If I had more days in Seoul I would definitely do her other tours.

Terrific, informative tour - This was a terrific tour! Jessica was a really knowledgeable and energetic guide, and the theme of this tour was a creative and fun point of entry to learn more about Korean society and culture beyond what one might otherwise get in more superficial ways as a short-term visitor. Gangnam was not high on our list of places to go during a short trip to Seoul -- and still might not be if it weren't for this tour -- but this tour was totally worth it.

Very captivating tour! - Our tour guide Jessica was super friendly and especially very intusiastic. We had a great time when she introduced us to the dark side of South Korea's society. Even hours after the tour, we still talked about the various topics covered by Jessica. We can fully recommend the tour!

Exceeded our expectations - Our Korean guide who was in her 30’s had lived in the USA for 8 years so spoke perfect english. She gave a fascinating insight into the lives of young Korean people that you won’t read about such as schooling, university, job hunting, relationships etc. Exceeded our expectations.
