5-star service with pickup wherever you want. Choose your hotel bc Seoul traffic is brutal, and this step saved me a headache. Our guide, Vicky, was excellent, informative, prepared, and Alicia was in contact ahead of time with dietary questions. Lunch is included, so it’s important to get back to them on that. The tour is all day, so wear good shoes. We didn’t do the hanbok rental, but tbh, with the admission ticket included in the tour for the palace, it saved time and headache as well. But we will go back and do that later! My daughter loved the Nsmsan tour more than the palace, so staying energetic and hydrated till the end was important to us. I left my credit card in Gwangjang market and the driver would have taken me back if it wasn’t rush hour, but Vicky helped me get a taxi right back to the area, and of course, in Korea, my credit card was wrapped beautifully in my receipt exactly where I left it with the cashier. Today was long, but not tiring because the organization was perfect, on time, and beyond my expectations. Must do and ask for Vicky!
Our day tour with Song was delightful from start to finish. She perfectly balanced structured sightseeing with independent time, all while keeping us laughing with humor and lighthearted energy. We started at a Hanbok rental shop, where Song was so encouraging and helpful as we picked out our outfits. It made visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace and watching the changing of the guard ceremony feel special. Song took wonderful photos of us at the palace that we will cherish forever! She then gave us time to stroll through Bukchon Hanok Village on our own before we took the cable car up to N Seoul Tower for breathtaking views. A major highlight of the day was lunch at Gwangjang Market, where Song introduced us to the best gimbap and crispy mung bean cakes we’ve ever tasted! We wrapped up the afternoon with a peaceful visit to Jogyesa Temple and a lovely green tea ceremony on Insadong Art Street. Song’s warmth, organization, and cheerful personality made our day completely stress-free and unforgettable. Highly recommended!
This is my first time in korea with my family, and our tour guide, Haidi, gave us a unique and wonderful experience. We visited multiple locations that immersed us in Korean heritage and culture. Haidi was professional, punctual, informative and made me feel like family.
Our tour guide Haidi was very professional and went above and beyond on this trip. She was very knowledgeable and it shows that she really enjoys history. Our trip was on time and we were able to go on every event except of one, but that is because of many protests happening in the city. She was even willing to provide the missing event on another day for free. Overall, we were very happy and satisfied with this trip. Highly recommend +++ Read less I certify that this review is based on my own

Best Tour. Song was the best hahahaha. Hoping to meeting her again in the future. Great travel buddies as well. 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Taylor was really good, he anticipates our needs especially we traveled with our baby. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. We really recommend him for your next trip in Seoul.
This tour is worth every cent you paid for. I recommend this tour for those who are first timers in Seoul especially those who have limited number of days to spend. The guide, Jung , is awesome and so good with her job!!!
Christine and Young are an amazing tour guide duo! Christine helped us customize a Seoul highlights tour for our family of 4 (two adults and two older teens) in this extreme summer heat. She was very accommodating of our special requests regarding sites we wanted to see (and not) as well as dietary restrictions she helped us navigate. Christine was not only very knowledgeable but also very fun to spend the day with. One of the most convenient parts of the trip was that Young always had the van cooled and ready for us whenever we were done at a tour stop. Together, they made our day very enjoyable and comfortable in the heat. We learned a lot and felt satisfied with everything we saw and experienced. Highly recommend!
I suggest this tour for everybody! Our guide, Song, was super kind, nice and funny. She was always ready to answer our questions. The tour allowed us to discover some parts of Seoul, otherwise far from each other's, the wonderful street food and a little part of history. All of that with a car and just few people. Moreover, Song gave us some suggestions for the rest of our journey and she taught us some useful Korean word. A real pleasure!
Song is a wonderful tour guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Korean history and the sites that we were seeing. She brought us to a Buddhist temple that we had not initially put on our itinerary, but was absolutely beautiful and magical. The tour was entirely flexible and we were able to see the sites that mattered to us. It was really nice having a bus where we could leave our stuff and come back to without having to worry about getting a taxi. The biggest highlight, though was Song.
I can’t recommend Song enough! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was easy and stress-free. Before the tour even started, she sent detailed instructions and pictures of the meeting location, so I knew exactly where to go. Throughout the tour, Song explained every stop, the history behind each location, and why each place was important to Seoul’s culture and heritage. She was knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and made everything so interesting. As a first-time visitor to South Korea, I could not have asked for a better guide or experience. Song made me feel welcome and helped make my first visit to Korea truly unforgettable.

What an excellent day with Jake as our tour guide. His English is excellent and the whole day was a good balance between culture, history, shopping and food. He took everything at our pace and was so helpful with everything. He has a wealth of knowledge about Seoul and where to go. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough
It was the best exploring today because hanbok outfits were amazing to wear also learning all the Korean Cultural history at the Joseon dynasty kingdom Castle and I actually enjoyed the whole tour.
Song was great made the tour so informative was very precise in updating us and very knowledgeable of the places and very well managed
Joined a small group Seoul City Tour! Tour guide, Ms Song, was our interactive, informative and engaging guide. As a solo participant, Ms Song was most helpful and caring! Enjoyed the tour very much!
Jang was an awesome tour guide! She was very kind and shared a lot of interesting information about Seoul. If you get her, you will be in great hands!
Song was an amazing host. She was thoughtful (brought us cold water and umbrellas to protect us from the heat), informative (answered all our questions), and helpful (recommended delicious places to eat and helped us pick a gift for our daughter’s birthday). I highly recommend booking this tour to get a true feel for the city and culture. Song was truly amazing!
We booked our tour through Viator based on the outstanding reviews, and our experience exceeded expectations. Our group of 13 was fortunate to have Cung Sukhyun as our tour guide, and she was absolutely exceptional. From the very beginning, Cung took the time to learn about our group's interests and needs, then tailored the experience accordingly. Her ability to adapt the tour to our preferences made it both engaging and enjoyable for everyone. Not only is Cung incredibly knowledgeable about her country and its history, but her English-speaking skills are also excellent, making communication easy and informative throughout the tour. If you're booking a tour, I highly recommend requesting Cung as your guide. You won't regret it!
We had a great experience thanks to our guide, Jung. She knew how to navigate us to avoid crowds, posed us in the best picture taking spots, and gave us interesting information at every turn, whether historical or current (BTS related or K-Drama filming sites). Her demeanor was cheerful and professional, and her English was impeccable.
Spent an amazing day with our private guide, Mandeep, to Nami Island and nearby Bike Rail. Mandeep was so attentive and took care of all our arrangements and gave us insightful commentary along the way. His English was flawless and he was very knowledgeable regarding our destination and other random questions we asked along the way! We had a super fun time at Nami Island and even experienced the zip line! After the bike rail, Mandeep took us to a local restaurant where we had one of the BEST meals during our entire Korea trip. Highly recommended Mandeep and this private tour! Definitely worth the expense.
We thoroughly enjoyed the private tour. Jung, our tour guide, was very friendly, resourceful and cheerful. She is very informative, explains all the Korean History, Culture and Traditions. Everything is so smooth. The highlights is naturally putting on the Hanbok, taking pictures in the Palace. The girls are totally thrilled. Thank you Jung.
Great Experience! Song was the BEST guide. She was knowledgeable, sweet and flexible. We went to several places that highlighted Korean culture and got a taste of Korean food. Would definitely recommend this tour!
We had a great tour with Jake, Seoul has a lot to offer and our guide offered up loads of information. Highlights of the trip were Jogyesa temple that was decorated for Buddha’s birthday, Gyeongbokgung palace. I recommend dressing in hanbok for the experience.
We had a wonderful trip to see Seoul highlights with Jun as our guide. He was informative, engaging, personable, efficient, & fun. He answered our questions and genuinely cared about our experience. He knew the best places to pop into food markets and place us in just the right locations to make the most of the sites we visited. He sought our input but also provided great leadership when wanted. He clearly had done many tours as he knew how to navigate to the best spots for our various experiences. Our experience would not have been what it was without Jun as our guide.
Song made our tour seamless and gave us local history along with playing photographer! I often travel solo and rarely get pictures of myself in historical places. She was happy to take my photo and tell me all about where we were standing. Wonderful tour! Thank you, Song!
Amazing Experience from the start. The booking manager is so considerate and the response was very immediate. Then met Song, our Tour Guide. She was wonderful! She is sweet, very helpful and know all the great spots (from the shaded waiting area to the delicious food places and shopping options) This tour for me is highly recommended most especially for solo travelers. Song I cannot thank you enough! I will definitely book another trip with your company and hopefully meet you once again!
We had a wonderful time and got to see all the amazing sights in Seoul. Song, Our guide was exceptional and the highlight of our tour! She was so kind and attentive, knowledgeable and really made this trip memorable!
It was a great experience. The tour covered all major attractions in Seoul. The hotel pick and drop was a convenient addon. Our tour guide Jung was exceptional and with a great sense of humour. Really enjoyed!
We had such an incredible time seeing all the sights! Our guide Juan was extremely kind and helpful. He took us to several beautiful places and cool shopping/food spots. Definitely recommend!
Vic was very personable and fun. She packed the day with memorable stops and was sure to capture pictures of us at important stops.
A brilliant day, superbly organised by Jake, who was both attentive and effortlessly professional. He guided us through the entire experience with warmth, took great photos, and handled all our questions with ease. His added insights into Korean history and culture made the tour genuinely fascinating and unlike anything we could have had on our own. Jake is a solid 10/10 — and his English is flawless.
I had an amazing experience on this private tour in Seoul! Everything was perfectly organized, and it truly felt like a personalized journey through the city. Our tour guide, Jun, made the entire experience unforgettable. He was incredibly nice, energetic, and brought so much enthusiasm to every stop we visited. Jun’s knowledge of Seoul’s history, culture, and hidden gems really stood out. His positive energy made the day even more enjoyable, and it never felt rushed. If you’re looking for a fun, informative, and well-paced tour of Seoul, I highly recommend this experience—especially if you get Jun as your guide!
We had a great time with our tour today! Our tour guide was Joey and she was awesome!! She was very nice and friendly but also very detailed about each area we visited. We visited a lot of places like the palace, the Buddhist temple and N Tower. We also had a delicious lunch! I highly recommend this tour! It’s a must do if you’re first visiting Seoul!
We tourists from Russia, far northern Yakutia, visited the sights of Seoul with a Wookie guide. We really enjoyed the tour, the exciting story of Wookie. Learned a lot about Seoul's history and culture. Wookie flawlessly organized the tour, a busy program, and even tasted local cuisine. They tried on the traditional hanbok and felt part of Korea. Admired the beautiful view of Seoul from above, visited the village of Bukjong. Thank you so much to our friendly guide Wookie for enjoying your holiday!
Well-guided tour in a modern bus with the main highlights of Seoul, tour size was also not too large.
