This was a very interesting tour! I was initially worried about whether my legs could handle 1.5 hours of pedaling, but it turned out to be a very friendly tour, with only 1.5 minutes of actual effort throughout the entire trip 😅. Most of the time, we were comfortably riding in an electric vehicle, exploring the city of Seoul, and listening to the guide's detailed explanations of the city's historical trajectory and recommendations for famous eateries! We also walked through alleys, listening to little stories and visiting popular, often-queued-for shops! The most amusing part was undoubtedly the humorous driver who enthusiastically greeted passersby. We were so caught up in the atmosphere that we started greeting people too, only to learn that this city's tram system is quite advanced, something many Seoul residents don't even know about – it was truly an honor to experience! Thanks for the complimentary drinks and desserts (even though I wasn't tired at all 🤣). I highly recommend this tour; it was truly unique!

Our group of four joined the Namsan Valley standard group tour. Since we had foreign friends with us, we chose an English-speaking guide. Our female guide, Anna, was very professional, explained everything clearly, smiled throughout the tour, and was very humorous, making the experience enjoyable. The itinerary included Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bugak Palgakjeong Pavilion, Bukchon Hanok Village, the Korea Ginseng Museum, the War Memorial of Korea, Jogyesa Temple, Tapgol Park, and more. For lunch, she took us to Gwangjang Market to eat delicious Korean pancakes and shop for souvenirs. Finally, at our request, she dropped us off at Seoul Catholic Cathedral, giving us another spot for photos. The tour price was reasonable and included all admission fees and a comfortable air-conditioned mini-bus. If you have limited time during your trip, we highly recommend this one-day tour.

An absolute highlight of our trip to Seoul! The itinerary was incredible—from exploring Deoksugung Palace at night to eating hot ramen by the Han River, and finishing with the stunning Moonlight Rainbow Fountain show at Banpo Bridge. Huge thanks to our guide, Henry, who was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience seamless. Our driver, Yoo, ensured our journey was safe and comfortable throughout the night. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Korea!

The Gwanghwamun tour is highly recommended. Our guide June made the 2 hours of the walking tour go by in a flash. He is extremely well informed and was willing to clarify any doubts we had. We had a better understanding of the history of Seoul thanks to the tour and our guide

We had a great experience at Lumiere Perfume Making. It’s a lovely place with excellent staff. Our instructor, Mr. Rei, was very patient, attentive, and truly made the session enjoyable. Overall, the experience was fantastic—we were so happy with how our perfumes turned out that we even upgraded our package. Highly recommended!

The place was really calm and peaceful while the teacher was very patient and helpful throughout the whole process. There are many colorful pieces and using the different shapes made from abalone shell was really interesting.
