Perfect Incheon Layover Tour! - Suni (and sister in law) made this the most pleasant experience! From communication, pick up, information, and overall tour, I would highly recommend this activity if you have a 10+ hour layover in Incheon. All the stops were great and Suni is an excellent and personable tour guide who is very concerned with giving you a great and informative experience. I highly recommend to everyone. Thank you, Suni!

A very pleasant day out - We had a very pleasant and enjoyable trip to Kyoto. Our guide, Rick, was most helpful and had a cheerful manner. The places we visited were interesting despite the crowds of tourists :) Thank you again for arranging a very pleasant day out for us.

FREE TOUR! - There is a FREE tour offered at the airport for visitors with a long layover. You need to sign up and be on time! The tour is very precise with times because everyone on it has a flight to catch! Some companies charge hundreds of dollars, but this is free, and you see some great sites plus have enough free time to indulge in a meal or shopping. Not only is the tour free, but they actually give you a gift for filling out a review...so they basically pay you to take their tour! CRAZY!!!!

Fun way to spend the day in Seoul with Sophia - Sophia was a wonderful tour guide. She met us at the airport, communicated ahead of time where to meet, provided an agenda, but was flexible to our needs. We had a great lunch in a traditional Korean restaurant, loved the tour of the Imperial Palace and grounds, experienced the market, had tea at a traditional tea house, just an incredible to spend the day out seeing Seoul instead of sitting at the airport. She was very knowledgeable about Korean history and culture, was a safe driver, her vehicle was very clean and she provided us with cold water for the day. Overall, we were so happy with our tour with Sophia and it was a great way for us to celebrate a birthday.

Airport layover pick-up with city tour and drop off back to airport hotel. - I had Brian as my driver and guide. The pick up at the airport was really easy. He messaged me on WhatsApp where to meet. We went into Seoul . We the grand Palace tour, did a walking tour of the old village and the blue house. The entire time Brian gave a commentary of Korean history and politics and past times. We ended up with a tour of the food market and dinner together. His sense of humor was fantastic. I really feel like I got an overview of the city. He then brought me back to my airport hotel. I would have no hesitation in recommending him. I am so glad I took the opportunity of a long airport layover to do this. Probably the best tour experience I have had in years.

Taylor did a great job giving us the tour with his knowledge and kept things on time - Taylor, our guide for just two of us, arrived 10minutes before the scheduled time. He greeted us at the airport and took us to his car right away to get to the first destination of the tour. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. He even accommodated our request to meet a friend of our friend at the last minute for lunch. He picked a spot where it was easy for us to meet. When this friend wanted to take us to a Thai restaurant, he suggested Korean BBQ politely pointing out that our first experience in South Korea should be a Korean food! He was right. We enjoyed the food and the experience of Korean BBQ. He knew exactly how long to spend at each location. He dropped us off back at the airport as scheduled. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. It was a very good private tour. We have had a private tour of Scotland a couple of years ago but there is no comparison. Taylor tops it. Thank you!!!
