We had such an amazing experience on this tour! Everything was well organised, smooth, and really enjoyable from start to finish. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, giving us enough time to explore while still covering all the highlights.
A special shoutout to our guide, Felicity—she truly made the day unforgettable. She was so warm, welcoming, and naturally funny, which kept the whole group engaged and relaxed. Her knowledge was incredible, and she shared so many interesting insights and stories that brought each place to life. What really stood out was how she stayed true to Korean culture, respectfully and authentically sharing traditions, history, and meanings in a way that felt genuine and immersive.
Thank you, Felicity, for such a wonderful and memorable experience!
정말 즐거운 시간이었습니다, 감사합니다!

Our tour guide, Yeoni, was a very friendly and enthusiastic person. It was just a bit disappointing that she was late to our meetup point that's why she wasn't able to talk about the first location which was the Jogyesa temple. But other than that, the tour is worth it.

I highly enjoyed this tour of the amazing palace and gardens in autumn colours. The guide provided the right amount of information at each stop. She also was very helpful in ensuring that we got the best photos including for the changing of the guards. Would recommend.

We were very satisfied with the morning tour! Lizzy is a kind and enthusiastic guide with a lot a knowledge about Korea and their History. The itinerary is very compact but it contains the most important information. Great option for everyone who wants to see a little bit of everything.
