Legendary photo shoot - This was an incredible experience in so many ways! Between James’s knowledge of photography and his translation of Jacob’s historical information. This tour is well worth it and a top 3 highlight of my time in Seoul. Seriously the photography knowledge and insight is priceless. In addition to that, knowing the locals James and Jacob and their personalities are dynamic. You are given the opportunity to meet two of the nicest people I’ve ever met. They are incredible and I can only say amazing things about this tour. You will not be disappointed and will leave with the best photography of the trip and having met two funny and dynamic individuals!

“A Tour of History and Warm Hospitality - This was the most friendly and enjoyable tour I joined in Korea. The guide and photographer were kind, knowledgeable, and made history truly interesting. I loved that the guide spoke in Korean first and then translated into English — it felt authentic and meaningful. The photo tips were very helpful, and overall the guide was supportive and communicative. A memorable experience, highly recommended.

This is IT ! - The Seoul Hidden Gem History Walking Tour was an absolute hit! I felt like I'd stumbled upon a dynamic duo of dream guides. James was a true powerhouse of positive energy—from the very first moment, his smile and enthusiasm were infectious. He could make the entire group laugh with a single joke, and his laid-back approach made everyone feel welcome and important. He had an incredible talent for creating a friendly, joyful atmosphere, as if we were walking through the city with a good friend, not a guide. Jacob, on the other hand, was the complete opposite (in the best possible way!)—with a straight face and the calm of a Zen master, he spun captivating stories about history, as if he himself were its mysterious guardian. The contrast between their styles was simply brilliant—it made for a never-ending moment of boredom! The only thing missing? No ending in some atmospheric spot for chatting over tea or something delicious—after such a dose of excitement, you just wanted to spend some more time together. I highly recommend it—if you want to experience Seoul from a different perspective and have a great time at the same time, this is IT!

Wonderful Tour - It was our first time visiting Korea, and we wanted to explore and learn through the tour. I had been following Koreanbong on Instagram and had exchanged reassuring messages with James. Since we liked the tour program, we decided to join. I gained far more knowledge than I expected and learned about key points and developments in Joseon history, the more recent past, and modern Korean history. Our tour guides were very friendly, highly knowledgeable, and warm-hearted people who kindly answered every question we asked. We had such an enjoyable time. On top of that, James took the time to share with us a lot of information that wasn’t even included in the tour. We’d like to thank both of our guides once again. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Great walking tour experience - The walking tour was pretty well designed. 2 hours was just nice, not too late and also not too warm. Combined with a photographer (Jacob) who is a professional photographer and a co-guide as well. James explained and answered questions very well in English. Thanks for the experience!
