My group of six friends chose Top Korea for a private tour of Seoul. It was a day before their lunar New Year. At first, we didn’t know what to expect whether most of the places we want to see will be closed. But with our pleasant surprise, Miae of TK showed us around from seeing the Changing of the Guards still being celebrated in their Royal Palace to their traditional street market, the beautiful Hanok village and Jogyesa temple to the modern structure, Dongdamun Design Plaza. She took us to a great Korean BBQ for lunch that we enjoyed so much. Miae is a very personable and knowledgeable guide. She made our tour easy and comfortable-not rushed at all, giving us time to take it all in and have lots of photos. We felt like she’s more of a friend showing us around the city. I learned so much about the beautiful city, it’s culture and history and people in one day. I can’t wait to visit the city again and see other areas like Busan and Jeju island. I highly recommend Top Korea when you visit Seoul!

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.

We arrived into Incheon airport independently and had booked Kim’s Travel for the airport transfer which went like clockwork. We had also booked a one day city tour followed by a one week tour of South Korea. We have nothing but praise for all aspects of the tours and highly recommend Kim’s Travel. Min Han with the on line reservation team was a star!

Very interesting and thought-provoking. It must be exhausting for North Korea to keep up this ruse for almost 70 years. Although Covid 19 has put a damper on the DMZ tours, our guide made the best of it. She was well prepared with tickets, directions, and instructions.

Definitely a needed tour to take while in Korea. The tour guide was very informed of the war since he is literally a soldier on reserve. Seeing parts of North Korea was both amazing and scary at the same time.
