Amazing and flexible tour guides for our customized tour of Seoul - I traveled to Korea with my husband and two kids (ages 7 and 10). The tour guides were very knowledgeable and made suggestions to accommodate our young kids- traditional Korean soup for lunch, open air food market, museum, Presidential Blue house, mountain, etc. At the last minute we invited our cousins who were staying at a local hotel and we were able to update the reservation to include them. It was a wonderful way to visit Seoul and also stress free!

Fun trip for family with teens - This was perfect for our family of four with two teens. We had a short time in Korea and did the tour our first day. Jung, our tour guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and adaptable to our needs. We not only saw the sights, but also learned about Korean history and current events. She also took photos for us at each place which was lovely. Highly recommend this tour along with Jung our tour guide and her amazing driver. Thank you!

Great orientation to an awesome city! - We did a private tour of Seoul for two days with Here Korea Travel. It gave us a great orientation to this incredible city and showed us a number of landmarks and neighborhoods across Seoul. We explored palaces (Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung), contemporary buildings (N Seoul Tower, Lotte Tower, COEX Mall), food markets (Gwangjang), quaint neighborhoods (Insadong), transitional villages (Bukchon Hanok Village, Namsangol Hanok Village) as well as Han River Park and Jogyesa Temple. Most people we spoke to later in our trip were surprised how much we had already seen in two days. Our guide Jake was great and provided us a great sense of Korean history and culture and provided us a great insights into everyday life in today’s Seoul. He had great dining recommendations and took us to a small Michelin star rated bibimbap restaurant in Namsan called Mokmyeoksanbang (목멱산방 in Korean) and it was awesome! I would highly recommend the tour.
