Full Day Private Tailor-made Seoul Tour With Local Tour Guide

Our TA booked this for us as a private excursion while on a cruise stopping overnight in Incheon. Our experience was absolutely 5 🌟. Our guide was Juan (actually Huang, but he finds it easier for Americans to say Juan). He was superb! We travel quite a bit to many places and he’s certainly among the best guides we’ve met. He was very flexible and catered to our every preference. We skipped standard things we weren’t interested in and spent a lot of time in markets and eating both street food and small local restaurant food. Very few tourists where we were. He spoke very clear American English. He was happy to teach us Korean history and culture and traditions. He helped my wife while shopping for Korean cosmetics. He took us to a small local Korean BBQ restaurant where the food was marvelous and too much to eat it all. We invited his wife and son to join us for dinner. His wife was wonderful, also a very accomplished English speaker. She explained many aspects of typical home life for everyday Koreans. We were picked up at the Incheon port at 9 am and returned at 8 pm. A very full and satisfying day. Anyone interested in a very complete customizable tour of Seoul will be very lucky to schedule with Juan. I’m very sure you’ll love the experience.

Danny was absolutely fantastic and made our private tour of Seoul such a memorable experience! He was knowledgeable, friendly, attentive and genuinely passionate about sharing the best of Seoul with us. He went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time, tailoring the experience to us and making everything feel relaxed and enjoyable. His knowledge of the city, its history and culture was brilliant, and he brought everything to life in a way that made the tour so much more than just sightseeing. He was also incredibly helpful and made us feel welcome from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Danny truly made our time in Seoul special, and we would recommend him without hesitation to anyone visiting the city. If you’re looking for a private tour of Seoul, Danny is your man! Thank you, Danny, for such a wonderful experience. Five stars simply aren’t enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had an absolutely wonderful time seeing Seoul. Our guide, Amy, was incredible, she customized our tour exactly the way we wanted, took all our pictures and sent them to us moments after the tour ended. She helped us shop for gifts and Korean cosmetics. We learned a lot and saw all the major sites we wanted. The van was also very clean and spacious and the driver was very polite. Would definitely recommend this tour to my friends and other family members.

If you’re visiting Seoul and looking for a guide who makes the day feel less like a tour and more like you’re exploring the city with a friend, ask for Danny! Danny was an awesome guide from start to finish. Before we even met, he sent us a WhatsApp message with all the details for meeting at our hotel and where we’d be heading first. That little touch made everything easy and stress-free. Our first stop was Gyeongbokgung Palace, where Danny shared great insight into daily life at the palace and added local commentary and recommendations for other places we should check out. From there, we headed to Bukchon Hanok Village. Be prepared for some hills! 😅 But the views are absolutely worth the climb, and Danny made sure we had plenty of opportunities to stop, take it all in, and, of course, take pictures. After working up an appetite, Danny found us a great spot for lunch and coffee. Then it was off to Gwangjang Market for some souvenir shopping. Danny explained the different street foods, helped us understand what we were looking at (and tasting!), and even helped us negotiate. By the end of the day, Danny had officially earned two new job titles: professional photographer and personal shopper! 😂📸🛍️ What really made the day special was Danny himself. He was knowledgeable, fun, attentive, and genuinely seemed to want us to have a great experience. He went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time in Seoul. If you’re coming to Seoul, do yourself a favor and ask for Danny. You won’t regret it! 🇰🇷❤️

We had a great experience! James was very nice and helpful. He explained his culture and the history of South Korea. We visited the main highlights of the city.

Enjoyed a private all day Seoul Highlights tour with Hera. She was very knowledgeable and flexible. We visited all of the main sites, and Hera adjusted our schedule to accommodate rain later in the afternoon. She also recommended a great restaurant for lunch where I had a delicious meal. I learned a lot and Hera made the day long tour fun.

We had a lovely time with jun who was our guide. Jun showed us all the places very polite and friendly also took lovely pictures of us to keep our memories alive for lifetimes

We had such a wonderful time on our Seoul city tour with Song! She brought so much energy, positivity, and kindness to the experience. She was incredibly attentive to our group and shared so much fascinating knowledge about Seoul’s history, culture, neighborhoods, and local foods. Song made the entire trip feel less like a typical tour and more like exploring the city with a distant cousin or a long-time friend. Her warmth and genuine care made our visit truly memorable. I would absolutely recommend a tour with Song and look forward to returning to Korea someday. I hope to have the chance to explore Seoul with her again on my next visit!

Our tour guide James was very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us a thorough overview of Korea’s history while driving to our destinations. He also offered to take numerous pictures at important landmarks . He willingly tour guide/photographer . I’d highly recommend James to any customers visiting South Korea.

Jun was an amazing tour guide and turned out to be a professional photographer, so my group got incredible pictures! This is a full day, and so much fun. Highly recommended!

Christine and Young were extremely courteous and attentive to us. We were able to stay on schedule and see and enjoy all sites that we wanted to visit.

Juan was, without question, the best tour guide we have ever had. From before we even arrived in Seoul, he went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfectly organised. He contacted us via WhatsApp in advance, provided detailed daily itineraries, and kept us informed about everything we would be doing each day. What truly set Juan apart was his compassion and flexibility. My husband has health challenges, and Juan constantly adjusted the tour pace, schedule, and activities to ensure he was comfortable and able to fully enjoy the experience. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he was always patient, understanding, and genuinely caring. His service was completely personalised to our needs. If we wanted to change plans during the day, he happily adapted the itinerary without any fuss. This level of flexibility made our trip stress-free and enjoyable. Juan is highly professional, knowledgeable, reliable, and passionate about what he does. His attention to detail and commitment to providing an exceptional experience were evident every day. If you are looking for a private tour guide in Seoul who offers outstanding personalised service, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients, I cannot recommend Don Juan highly enough. He turned our visit into an unforgettable experience, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he did for us. Juan is an asset to his tour company.

Jun is young & vibrant - so happy to share his home city with us. His timing was perfect! He knew exactly when to arrive places to make our trip extra special. Somehow we skipped all the lines which allowed us to see more. Jun was always a step ahead anticipating when we would need water, a bathroom, a snack. Jun’s speaks English very well and we really enjoyed our time with him. Highly recommend!

We spent a great day with Jun, visited all the listed Places, and he was patient with my elderly friends 😊

Our guide Jun was very accommodating,flexible and adjusted tour when faced with traffic congestion and truly sought to help us maximize our Seoul experience. He had numerous good suggestions, helped us with transportation after he was finished, Jun truly went the extra mile to make sure our needs were met. I highly recommend taking a private tour with Jun.

On our full day private Seoul City tour, Jones was our guide/driver. He is very knowledgeable of the city land marks and showed us all patiently. He is A+++

Jinny Kim was our guide and she provided excellent helpful information and entertaining stories along the way. We covered A LOT of ground during the tour. The visit to the temple, palace and square were all excellent and we had enough time at those places. We also sampled some great food at the market and had a pleasant experience in Insadong for lunch with a quick stop to have a 1 minute caricature made. The Hanbok rental is chaotic but it was a busy time due to cherry blossom season. Would recommend this tour to others! Just a note, you don’t go up the N Seoul tower but you see nice views of the tower and city during that portion of the tour. The tea ceremony was a highlight as well! Our hostess was very gracious and informative. Our driver was also excellent at picking us up at various stops quickly

Jun was great!! Very knowledgeable , extremely friendly , on time , I would recommend him to anyone coming to Seoul

We had an amazing day with Taylor. He was great with my kids and my mother-in-law. We loved the entire tour and the amazing service. 5 stars. Highly recommend Here Korea Travel.

We did the private tour in Seoul with Sophia and had an incredible time. We visited the main sites in Seoul. It was holiday season, so everything was super busy but Sophia made sure we visited all the places on time. She was super knowledgeable, flexible and just a really nice person to spend the day with. As a bonus, she also takes really high-quality photos.

It was perfect for a first trip in Seoul. We could see the most important site of the city. Our guide Vic was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

This tour was excellent to give you an idea of Seoul for a first time. Vic our tour guide was very friendly and helpful. She brought us for lunch to a very bbq restaurant. Highly recommended.

Adella was great! Very descriptive. Took us to eat live octopus & was very personable. We highly recommend her for your tours in korea!

I had travelled with Harry on private tour in 2018 and decided to organise a similar tour for my parents over 7 days. Harry has great attention to detail and their needs, brought them on many unique experiences with delicious food aplenty. The beautiful photos you took for them will no doubt be printed and displayed at home for many years to come. - Michelle ======== Hi Harry, Our 6 days travel with you in Korea has been an enjoyable and memorable one. You had made this possible by taking into account our needs and ensuring that we were well looked after. We enjoyed especially our visit to the Palace and Hanbok Dressing, DMZ Tour, Korea Folk Village, the Garden of Morning Calm to see the flowers, A Globe amaranth flower festival at Nari Park in Yanju, Fruit Picking Experience(Apple), Kimchi Making Experience and Korea House Repertory Performance Sim Cheong. We enjoyed our lunches and dinners especially the Pork Ribs BBQ, Chicken BBQ, Beef BBQ, Ginseng Korea Chicken, Bibimbap and pork knuckle to name a few. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable experience. We will share this with our friends. Keep up your good work! From: Virginia and Richard, Singapore
