If you want to know more about life in Korea - Jessica told us about the dark side of life, work and society in South Korea based in her first hand experiences. That was very revealing and more interesting than the usual tour guide textbook.

Excellent Tour covering the Youth experience in Seoul - An interesting and informative tour from June, covering the youth demographics and trends in modern Seoul. From the high house prices to the educational pressures plus much more, it was an excellent sociological tour of the capital.

Gangnam Tour Seoul - We had an awesome tour with June. He was very personable and gave us a lot of information about different societal and cultural issues that South Korea faces today. It was eye opening to get a look at the country from a non-tourist perspective.

Completely different, very educational tour of Gangnam - Jessica is a great guide. She showed us the dark side of Korean society unembellished - exactly as stated in the description. This is an extraordinary tour, not a tourist bling bling - and that's exactly what I liked so much!

Revealing story telling - Our guide Jessica spoke English perfectly and her explanation of issues in Korean society was informative, insightful and honest. Jessica was friendly and answered all the questions. She even helped us with lunch recommendation and getting a taxi to get us there. Thank you, Jessica for the wonderful experience.
