Traveler reviews
Fun tour with JJ
We enjoyed our night tour with JJ and Mr. Lee. It was freezing , but we were still able to make the most of the tour. We visited Seoul Tower and experienced the beautiful lights of the city. The street food along MeongDong was delicious. We enjoyed the drive around the various neighborhoods of Seoul.
Evening cruise on Han River
Our evening river boat cruise was wonderful. Despite the rain, Cathy ( our friendly tour guide) went out of her way to make sure we were not disappointed in any way during this tour! When at first we expressed some disappointment with the chicken and beer offered as part of the tour before the river boat cruise, Cathy insisted on finding another diner alternative for us which we thoroughly enjoyed. (Note dinner is not provided on board on this tour). The cruise along the river was a feast for the eyes with a multitude of lights from all sides. A duo also played some music along the way - both the keyboard and sax players were very talented IMO. All in all an excellent experience on the river with Cathy.
We love our tour guide Cathy!
This tour offers a wonderfully curated itinerary! Our guide, Cathy, was fantastic—warm, kind, considerate, and extremely knowledgeable. We explored royal palaces, the ginseng museum, and bustling local markets, while also gaining a unique perspective on Korea’s modern and traditional culture. Highly recommended!
Great experience
The guide came earlier to pick us up at the hotel. We went by a taxi. We got along pretty well. During the visit she entertained us the whole time. She took pictures of us at various locations. She was nice, communicative, helpful. She answered all our questions. And gave us useful information.
Amazing experience
Cathy was amazing, very patient, funny and kind ! It was all awesome and very interesting, full of history, it was like going to the past for a little bit
