Traveler reviews
I met my tour guide JJ at...
I met my tour guide JJ at designated location on time. She is very friendly and plans the tour very well. The transportation is both efficient and clever and also she gives very detailed explanations about the historical context of many tourist attractions. I did enjoy the whole tour and recommend her for this experience.
Personal experiences in Seoul
Great for personalised experiences Gina is sympathetic lady with a lot of knowledge about Korea. She showed us Seoul on the base of our interests.
Phenomenal Guide -Highly Recommend Joyce for Discerning Travelers
Joyce was phenomenal. Kind and informative - my only regret was not booking a full day tour with Joyce. If I had known what an incredibly smart, thoughtful and considerate guide she would be, I would have booked a full day tour. There is so much to do in Seoul - I would recommend scheduling a full day tour with Joyce.
Joyce Made a Perfect Afternoon Feel Like Hanging Out with a New Friend!
Joyce turned our private 4 hour adventure into the highlight of my trip to Korea! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the palaces, temple, and those amazing hidden local spots, but what really won me over was her fun energy and how she made everything feel like a casual hangout with a friend. We even took the most delightful detour walking along the creek, and she was so flexible she happily made sure we had time to hunt for the perfect gift for my wife. Joyce just knew all the right places, kept the conversation going the whole time, and at the end she made sure I got on the right subway like a true buddy looking out for me. I left feeling like I’d made a real new friend highly recommend Joyce for anyone wanting a perfect mix of culture, food, laughs, and genuine warmth!
Great experience
I booked last minute and it was amazing. Joyce was friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating as I had limited time and saw all the important sights.
