What a day! Sunny is so knowledgeable and filled in the blanks of historical events and customs where I still had questions. We had a terrific time and I loved each and every stop. Thank you!
We had a half day tour with Chloe. What a wonderful guide she was! She was very knowledgeable and informative and we would highly recommend her.
What is good with this tour is price, if you do it by yourself, you are going to pay way higher price. Second, you have options fir half day. Third, tour guide Nicole Kim spent whole day, she was energized and helpful, running whole day. Plus, she provides tips about everything in Seoul, especially if you are looking for shopping places, eating, etc.
Any tour is not Great without an excellent tour guide. We were fortunate to have Chloe who made the entire tour an amazing experience. She was informative, entertaining, enthusiastic knowledgeable and thoughtful which is very rare. Thank you Chloe!! We hope you get the recognition you deserve from your employer.
Anna and Chloe were amazing! So friendly and helpful. Their knowledge was vast and so interesting. We would definitely recommend.
It was a memorable day in Seoul. We learnt a lot of things about Seoul and the history, culture and food of Korea. Chloe was such a wonderful guide. She was precise, wonderful, accurate and lively. We never got bored during the 8 hour tour. I would highly recommend this tour.

My partner and I had a great experience on this tour with Chloe. The itinerary was well-thought out and the tour group was small enough for us to feel well-cared for. Chloe was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. This tour was a great way to see and experience the highlights of Seoul.
Mike was fantastic! I was on my own and met with 3 people who were traveling together. We laughed so much as we visited food stall after food stall and imbibing the local beers,soju and more. This was a tour I would not have done on my own not knowing where to go so it was perfect! Always wanted to eat in one of the street tents- done! Enjoy chicken and beer - done!
Sophie was a diamond of a guide 🙂↕️ Super knowledgeable and made the tour both really educational and fun. You can tell she genuinely cares about everyone having a good time, she definitely goes the extra mile for the group. Plus she gave me the best chimaek recommendation in Seoul, which was the perfect end of my time in the city. 10/10 would recommend 💎👑

We had big trouble with the tour company, they were not very understanding..We had a DMZ tour booked on Saturday which was cancelled due to heavy snow and was rescheduled for the next day on Sunday. The trouble was we had a city tour which was booked for the Sunday, and Get My Guide would not move our city tour to the Monday when we could have made it. Thanks for nothing.
Amazing experience, friendly and warm tour guide (Chloe from I Love Seoul Tour) with a witty sense of humour. Takes roughly one day, definitely worth the time spent. Best for people looking for an adventure.
