Chance was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide. My fiancé and I enjoyed the trip and we feel that it was worth the money spent. Chance gave us a private skiing lesson and his visible passion for the job made the trip one to remember.

Tour guide was friendly, helpful, respected our privacy yet open to engage and hear our questions. Did not pressure us to finish sightseeing any site fast. Every area we went to was good, there were no places that we went to that tried to hard-sell us a service or product. Tour guide also brought us to really good food places, and even recommended us to other places for good food or for future exploration and sight-seeing. All in all a very enjoyable and pleasant experience! Definitely recommend this!

Insadong is a neighborhood permeated with everything artistic, eclectic and creative. Explore it with one of our local Seoul hosts, flitting between traditional tea houses and even more traditional porcelain shops. Stroll along the largest street, Insadong-gil, pop into an art gallery or a stationary store, discover ancient writing techniques or stop by Jogyesa Temple. You may want to also see Ssamziegil, a market/mall hybrid - quirky, right? After all of that, you might need a break, and a traditional tea ceremony sounds like just the thing. Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

Inclusions: A private and personalized experience , 3 hours with a Host, Walking experience (if required, your host can suggest public transport or private taxi options), Hotel meet-up (available on request for central location)

Exclusions: Food and drinks, Tickets to any attractions, Additional transportation costs , Gratuities (optional)

Our guide was both kind and competent. She accommodated our very specific and probably unusual itinerary to orient a new student to the area. I can't recommend highly enough having a local guide in an unfamiliar city, especially for travelers who don't speak the language. It is an absolute must! I will look for a local guide wherever I go in the future and hope they are as kind as Oki.

I booked the tour with three friends. There was no one else with us, so we had the comfortable bus to ourselves. The guide Jesse spoke English very well and was very flexible and in a good mood. We talked a lot about everything. We really enjoyed it with him. He also took some nice pictures of us during the tour. I am happy to do a tour with him again. :)

Our tour guide JN took me and my family in a group of 5 on a day trip of Gyeongju. We visited several UNESCO listed sites including the Seokguram Grotto and Cheonmachong Tomb. JN was knowledgeable, friendly, and left ample time for me to take pictures of Gyeonju’s spectacular scenery! We had a great day ????!

I actually visited Korea in September of 2019 but the system would only allow me to select as far back as Dec. Justin was practically perfect. The weather was touch and go during the week (thanks Typhoon LingLing), but he was extremely flexible the entire way through. He let me dictate the locations, the poses, the time, and everything in between. This was a solo trip and a birthday photoshoot I was planning. Justin made absolutely sure that I looked amazing for my big day. The edits had a surprisingly fast turnaround with stunning work as well. I’m African American and sometimes photographers don’t consider my complexion when taking photos in the bright light. Justin didn’t have that problem at all and didn’t try to “brighten” my skin when taking or editing the photos. I would highly recommend him and would have him take my photos again without a second thought. He was also a pleasure to be with and a positive companion for the last days of my trip.

My sister found this company online and I'm so glad she booked with them. Our party of 4 consisted of my sister, our elderly parents and myself. Our super guide Jun Eun-jong met us at our hotel, went over what sights we wanted to cover and understood our need to be flexible depending on how our parents were feeling. I cannot say enough about Jun! Her English is excellent, she is knowledgeable native of Busan, great sense of humor and just an all around joy. The vehicle we had was perfect for the four of us, easy for my parents to get in and out of, and very clean. Jun let us set the pace of the tours, never hurrying us and made sure everyone's needs were met. Lunch at a local restaurant was very good, ordered ahead as to minimize wait time. The food was good but more importantly for my mom, it was super clean. Our day lasted from 9 am to just about 5 pm, we covered what we had wanted and more. I specifically asked Jun for her business card because I would recommend her in a heart beat to anyone going to Busan. Thanks Jun!
