Wonderful private tour with family
Excellent four hour private tour with Alice. We visited so many attractions in a short amount of time and she was very knowledgeable. Highlights included the Buddhist temple, palace, Folk Museum, hanok village and street market. Our family thoroughly enjoyed it and it was a relaxing way to see all the sights with a private van and guide. Thank you

another beautiful country
I enjoyed both tours and Days, The DMZ was truly fascinating but i have loved to learn about the Korean culture. Alice was my tour guide, she was full of information but didn’t make me feel like I was drinking out of a fire house.

Seoul City Private Tour
Visited Geongbokung Palace, National Folk Museum, Jogyesa Temple, To Sok Chon restaurant (best ginseng chicken soup in Korea), Kospi Korean Stock Exchange, Hanok village and the Gwangjang market (amazing hotteok). Our guide Judy was fantastic and our driver Charlie got us everywhere we needed to be in record time. Amazing and memorable day. Highly recommended if you want to see as much as you can in 7 hours.
