A perfect blend of insights and perspectives - We had the walking tour with Jessica in South Korea, and it was an absolutely enriching experience. Jessica’s deep knowledge of the country’s history, culture, and way of life was remarkable. Her familiarity with US culture allowed her to provide thoughtful comparisons and context, making it easier for us to understand and appreciate the nuances of South Korean life. Her storytelling and expertise gave us a much deeper appreciation of the country. By the end of the tour, we felt not only more connected to South Korea. Highly recommend!

Unique experience in Gangnam - This was a unique experience! We learned a lot about Korean’s everyday lives! This was not a traditional tour but a unique experience that provided very interesting facts about marriage/education/work and a deep understanding of how economic systems can shape society. I highly recommend this tour! Jessica was fabulous even before the tour started! We really appreciated having earphones to have good audio while we were walking! She communicated excellent with us!

Insightful & Entertaining - A plethora of intriguing insights and "off the grid" facts that made for fascinating learning. We found ourselves referencing Jessica's words much thru our travel to SK.

Enjoyable education - Jessica gave a much needed context to a family that was equally fascinated and confused by certain aspects of Korean culture. It was entertaining and informative at the same time. She was great at answering all of our questions and everything was explained well.

My review - It was a great tour, like no other. Not only did I learn more about Korea and its current economic and social situation, but it also shed light on some harsh truths about living in Korea.

Great tour to see the REAL Korea. - Great tour with great guide. Jin (spelling) was awesome. He did a great job on sharing the intricacies of what he would call the "dark side" of Korea, but it's truly just giving a sense of what true Seoul is like. Overall, great tour, and I would highly recommend.
