From start to finish Mr Jay went the distance. My daughter and I had a great day touring the cool spots of Seoul. Our full day trip started at the palace and from there we checked out a nearby neighbourhood ( Bukcheon Hanok Village) steeped in history with Mr Jay sharing interesting facts with us. We moved on the funky districts with cute cafes and many insta worthy cafes. We loved Starfield Library, Seongsu Cafe Street, the cable car ride and of course Hongdae. So much to see and soak in. It’s a great taster to work out which areas you want to go back and explore. We didn’t have to queue for tickets and we rode in our own car. Thanks Mr Jay!

Itinerary
Visit Gyeongbok Palace. 'Gyeongbok' means 'felicitous blessing'. It is the first palace that was built on the foundation of the Joseon Dynasty(1392-1910). As much as it is the most important palace in the history of the dynasty, it is also quite enormous. Perhaps due to the luckiness conveyed by the name 'Gyeongbok', this new dynasty was able to last 600 long years through glory and shame.
Bukchon Hanok Village is home to hundreds of traditional houses, called hanok, that date back to the Joseon Dynasty. The name Bukchon, which literally translates to "northern village," came about as the neighborhood lies north of two significant Seoul landmarks, Cheonggyecheon Stream and Jongno. Today, many of these hanoks operate as cultural centers, guesthouses, restaurants and tea houses, providing visitors with an opportunity to experience, learn and immerse themselves in traditional Korean culture. As Bukchon Hanok Village is an actual neighborhood with people's homes, visitors are advised to be respectful at all times while looking around.
N Seoul Tower is a landmark and communication tower atop Namsan Mountain in Seoul, South Korea. Originally a broadcast tower, it has become a popular tourist attraction with observation decks providing stunning city views. Famous for the "Locks of Love," where couples attach padlocks, the tower also houses restaurants, cafes, and cultural exhibits. Illuminated at night, it symbolizes Seoul's skyline and offers diverse experiences for visitors. Accessible by hiking, cable car, or shuttle bus, N Seoul Tower is an iconic symbol of the city.
Starfield Library is a stunning public library located in the COEX Mall in Gangnam. It features impressive bookshelves, cozy reading areas, and a modern design, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists. Gangnam Style Statue is a statue dedicated to the global hit song "Gangnam Style" by Psy. Located in the Gangnam district, it celebrates the song's influence and the vibrant culture of the area, attracting visitors who want to take photos with the iconic symbol.
Bongeunsa Temple is a peaceful Buddhist temple located in the heart of Seoul. Founded in 794, it offers a quiet escape from the busy city with beautiful halls, stone lanterns, and a serene atmosphere. Visitors can explore traditional Korean Buddhist culture, enjoy scenic walking paths, and experience the contrast between ancient spirituality and the modern skyscrapers of Gangnam.

We had an amazing day with our tour guide, Mr. Jay. We had a pact itinerary and he was kind to arrange the day around the weather. The morning was rainy so we did more of the indoor activities and ended with Namsan tower when it was sunny and clear. And had a gorgeous view! He was very thoughtful and kind. Dropped us off in front of venues and met us later after he parked - which was incredibly helpful with my elderly mother. He knew tons of information about Korea! 100% recommend!!!!
Have a pleasant experience with tagy travel. Mr Jay was so nice and helpful. Definitely will choose Mr Jay again when we come to Korea.
Jay was assigned to us and he is definitely friendly and patience tour guide. Will always make sure that my family is well taken care of.
Our trip to Seoul was absolutely perfect, all thanks to Mr. Jay! As Muslim travelers, we were initially worried about finding Halal food, but Mr. Jay made it effortless. He is an absolute expert on Halal dining in Seoul! He took us to the best authentic Halal Korean spots—from delicious Bulgogi to Bibimbap—ensuring everything was certified and according to our requirements. Beyond the food, his knowledge of Seoul’s history and his friendly personality made every day exciting. He even timed our itinerary perfectly so we could stop for prayers. If you are looking for a guide who is respectful, knowledgeable, and knows exactly where the best Halal eats are, Mr. Jay is your man!
Our guide was Ms. Nari, and she truly exceeded our expectations. She was exceptionally kind, informative, and, most importantly, incredibly attentive to our young son, keeping him engaged throughout the experience. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and smoothly, with timely updates along the way. Our dietary requirements were fully accommodated, and both Nari and Kate went above and beyond, providing us with a list of nearby locations that suited our preferences. We will definitely be engaging their services again!
We had booked 2 days Seoul tour, with different iterinaries. The booking and execution with Tagy travel were flawless. Mr. Bean, our Tour Guide in Seoul was a dynamic, dedicated, knowledgeable, with sense of humor. He picked us up at 8.00 in the morning and brought us back to the hotel around seven in the evening. We truly had an amazing time with him. We never would learned about Seoul so much if it wouldn't be him. After visiting dozens of countries, we can recommending with all our heart. We miss you Mr. Bean!
The tour is nothing but extraordinary! Our tour guide, Mr. Brian together with his colleagues, Kate and Jay did a fantastic job explaining the significance and highlights of all the sites we visited. It was so much fun, with lots of humor and personalized accommodation and service. They are very organized, detailed, and extra careful to make sure no one’s left behind in each of the sites we’ve been to. I would highly recommend them to everyone, especially those in big groups like us to take care of them when visiting South Korea!
We go to Seoul for 4D3N, this is the best experience ever with this agency. They really friendly and easy to deal with. will come back to seoul again !!!
I had an incredible time on my recent Seoul tour with Tagy Travel Korea! From the start, the team was super responsive and helped customize the perfect itinerary for me. My guide, Kate & Jonjon, who spoke fluent Bahasa, was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the history and culture of Seoul come alive. The tour included visits to top attractions like Nami Island, Garden of Morning Calm, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, and the vibrant Myeongdong shopping district. Every detail was taken care of, from seamless transportation to recommendations for great local food. I felt completely at ease throughout the trip. I highly recommend Tagy Travel Korea if you want a stress-free, well-organized, and insightful tour of Seoul. It was definitely worth every penny!
Our Guide, Mia, picked us up at our Hotel on time. She took us all over Seoul to see the main places. My guide was very friendly and shared great information about Seoul. This full day private Seoul tour was excellent which exceeded my expectations. The lunch at the Chengrangri market restaurant was a highlight! Highly recommend this tour!
I was very satisfied with the tigy tours, which I contacted to better show Korea to customers from abroad. A very knowledgeable guide, SJ's explanation of Korean culture and history was somewhat critical, but it was very interesting and there was a lot to learn. The taste of the fried chicken in the Cheongnyangni Traditional Market that the guide took was excellent. It was a tour that my customers were also very satisfied with. I plan to continue to use the services of the ride tour in the future.
This is my second time using Tagy travel services. Kyungae replied promptly and was very helpful to organize our tour program. It's always been a very pleasant experience as they are so meticulous about the schedule and time travel which is so important in a city like Seoul where traffic can be so crazy. Our tour guide Jay was so friendly and knowledgeable. When you are not sure what to do as plans suddenly change. Their guide will come up with ideas and recommendations that have always been great. I highly recommend sweet travel to anyone who wishes to visit Seoul and do more. Taxis and uber can be so hard to find and you really get lost in translation. Thank you tagy travel for making my visits to Korea so memorable and convenient.
Jay Lee was highly recommended by a friend so we booked him for a day tour covering a visit to a strawberry farm, Garden of Morning Calm and Gangchon Rail Park. He is very responsive over What's App and fetched us punctually from our hotel. We appreciate his pleasant demeanor & humour & keeping us updated on the travelling time from each point of interest. He also brought us to a Korean restaurant for lunch on the way to Garden of Morning Calm. Price was reasonable and food was delicious. As it is springtime, cherry blossoms and tulips were in full bloom @ the Garden and we ladies had a splendid time taking lots of beautiful photos. The bike paddling @ Gangchon Rail Park was very memorable and interesting. It was a wonderful experience to cycle through several tunnels with sound effects, bubble spray and disco music. Although the day tour is slightly pricey @ KRW 109500 per person (including the strawberry picking fees of KRW12000), it was worth it as it was a private tour. Thank you Jay for a wonderful tour & tip top service!
This trip was sensational. Collected a great many impressions and our guide was the best. Very dedicated and made our trip an unforgettable journey.
Jay Hyung and Kate Unnie the best!! Transport and service mantappp.. Halal food don't worry about having.. Overrall. Daebakk!!
Jay & Kate are very friendly, and very friendly. Their vehicles are also very comfortable, easy to plan a trip with the family. The halal restaurant they're bringing is also all delicious. We also went to Hwacheon Sancheono ice festival.. Best very able to catch fish themselves.
The tour guide was very friendly and helpful. Hotel dining is all comfortable and delicious. When you come to Korea, you can get a package with the travel agency here. Okay.
