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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Seoul City Private Tour with Sunny – VIP TRAVEL If you are thinking about booking this tour, stop thinking… just book it and ask for Sunny. 😄 From the moment we met her, Sunny made everything feel easy, fun, and perfectly taken care of. She did not just guide us around Seoul, she spoiled us. Every place she brought us to was amazing, every request we had was granted, and somehow she made everything happen so smoothly. We kept joking that she was our “genie,” because every little wish we had, she made it come true. 💫 We experienced Seoul in the best way possible. Incredible food that we are still dreaming about, skincare shopping that felt like a treasure hunt, beautiful historical and cultural spots that gave us such a deep appreciation of Korea’s rich culture, history, and traditions, and of course the clean, organized, and welcoming vibe of the city. Sunny knows exactly where to go and how to make every moment count. One of the best surprises, I got new glasses and sunglasses during the trip, and they were delivered to our hotel in less than two hours. I did not even realize my vision had changed until I wore them, and suddenly everything became crystal clear. Talk about efficiency and magic. 😆 Even though our trip was short, Sunny made it feel full, rich, and unforgettable. No wasted time, just pure enjoyment from start to finish. We are already planning to come back, and without a doubt, we will be calling Sunny again through VIP TRAVEL. If you want a guide who is kind, fun, knowledgeable, and truly goes above and beyond, she is the one. Sunny, you made Seoul extra special for us. Thank you for everything. 💛
