Excellent Tour Guide - Our tour guide was Michael Park and he was excellent! He picked us up at our hotel which was a bit complicated because it is part of a shopping plaza and a big building. Nonetheless, he knew exactly where to pick us up at. He contacted us prior to the actual day to confirm his contact. He spoke and texted in English which made it easier for me. Every site we visited, he knew the history of it and it made it a lot more interesting. He vehicle was clean and comfortable. Places where there were no parking, he dropped us off and told us to wait until he parked the car and came to meet us. I would highly recommend Michael again should we come back to Korea and need a tour guide. Very pleasant and excellent tour guide!

A good way to visit the highlights of Seoul within one day - This small tour visits the highlights of Seoul: 福德宮,南山 and 仁寺洞 in the private car, which is comfortable and hustle-free for first time visitors to Seoul. Our tour guide, Michael, Is extremely familiar with these places. We were fortunate to have joined the Tour as it only runs on Saturday and we have certainly enjoyed our trip.

Highlights of Seoul with local insights and nice pacing. - Our tour guide Michael drove five of us around to visit all of the places listed on the tour. While walking and explaining what we were seeing, he was happy to answer questions about life in Korea as well. There was sufficient time for meal / snack breaks, we also had some wandering-around time on our own, and he even helped us out at the end by dropping us off about a 10 minute walk from Insadong rather than our hotel at the end of the tour. Really nice experience.

Amazing Guide! - Two thumbs up for our tour guide Michael! He got in touch with us to confirm the time and pick up location, he was punctual, knowledgeable, funny and was a good driver. He managed to cover all the places on the itinerary and gave tips and information that we found helpful. We hope to have him as our tour guide again when we come back. We will definitely recommend this tour---and Michael---to our travelling friends!

Don Lee was an excellent tour guide, on time and flexible, - Don Lee was a terrific guide, he was flexible on the schedule, rearranging the order of the stops based on the expected crowds. We used Klook in Japan, not pleased since it stated guided tour but it wasn’t.

Great experience - Our tour was fantastic. Pick up was easy since we were met at our AirBnB. We actually had a small group of four so it made it even better. Our tour guide, Mr. Lee, was great. Loved hearing his stories and loved how he interacted with everyone. Learned so many interesting things about South Korea, too. I was able to check off a lot of my “to-see” in one day.

Awesome Day - With Andrew as our Tour Guide my Dad and I had an awesome day exploring Seoul. With the option for me to wear a Hanbok for the palace visit in the morning, everything was well organized and structured, without it seeming too stern. We had a great time and Andrew is a great photographer and an even better tour guide with lots of knowledge about the city and its history.
