It was a really fun experience from the start of the tour to the end. The guides were really friendly & shared insightful information with us. As for the show, it was really strict since it was a live broadcast but definitely interesting to see how it was done. Also, pro-tip is to be at the waiting area early so that you get a good seat number!

This tour was a succes thanks to the guides. The first guide, Joon, was patient and very friendly. Even though we left earlier to find the meeting spot, we got lost and couldn’t find the right place. Joon called us and guided us to the correct spot. His introduction on the bus was given with a lot of enthousiasm, which set the tone for the day. The second guide on the site itself was equally as enthousiastic. It’s clear that he has a great knowledge of MBC and everything around it. He explained everything in Korean, which was then translated to English. As for the content of the tour itself, it was quite lovely. I appreciated that they explained more about the works before filming a series/film. Details about the creation of the set or the lights, cameras and sound was interesting to hear. The only ‘unfortunate’ part was the nonchalant behaviour by a few people of the group (of tourists attending the tour). They were rather loud as they were laughing and talking during the rehearsal.

The tour amazing and informative. Our tour guide was friendly and he explained each places very well. We realized that Korea has a very rich culture and history. I hope we can visit Korea next time.

the place is so nice . it feels that you are on a Korea Drama especially visiting the place of gyeongbokgung and Hanok village with wearing the hanbok. I enjoyed it a lot . the views and spots are very beautiful and the tour guide is very approachable, kind and appreciative . Our tour guide is also our driver . every place that we visit is he tell us the history on it and he is also a good photographer.

We had a great experience on our BTS summer tour with Coby! We got to see the MV set of Daechwita, the old BTS dorms, Hybe building, run bts memorable locations and photo spots. we had a very jam packed day and the times we were driving we filled with great conversation and lots of BTS songs. We learned a lot about BTS ans more about Korea! We would recommend any of these tours and especially Coby as a tour guide!!!

I participated with my two daughters, ages 10 and 20, as a guide with Park Chan. He spoke fluent Japanese, which is hard to believe for a Korean, and explained the history and other topics concisely and carefully, and we had a very fulfilling tour! In addition to guiding, he was also a professional photographer, and took about 40 wonderful photos in about four hours! On my travels, I was always the one taking photos, and I only had a few photos of myself, so I was very happy and grateful. I would like to go, but it's a place that is difficult to get around efficiently on your own, so I recommend this tour. If you are Japanese, please join Park as your guide! Not only will you be guided, but you will also be taught how to take great photos.

SUPER WORTH MY MONEY!!!! This trip gave me the best experience of my Korean trip. It made me found a new 친구 through Alex ☺️ I highly commend her - She's the best buddy 👍 Let me highlight two important points: 1. ITINERARY / TOUR: Due to limited time in Korea, I did not have the time to navigate the area myself - I don't want the hassle of having to research how to go from one location to another. For the four hour trip with a Korean buddy, I only asked that we visit Starfield Library and The Hyundai Seoul (for The Queen of Tears feel). Both beautiful places. My husband and I were also blessed since The Hyundai Seoul still had their Christmas display 😍 2. MY KOREAN BUDDY, ALEX - I am really grateful to her. She has excellent English so communication was never a concern. She navigated well and we were able to reach destinations in ample amount of time ♥️ I also had a last-minute request to experience Korean egg drop sandwich and she was able to find a good place for us. She assisted with ordering food, buying the T-Money card and even our "Groot" souvenir from The Hyundai. She is respectful, cheerful and took very good photos of me and my husband (which to me is very important given that I wanted to capture memories). She shared good restaurants and other tourist spots to visit. I may not have visited them all, but for the restaurants we've tried, food was really great ♥️ I appreciate Alex for being knowledgeable of Korean history and I really enjoyed her company because we shared some Kdrama stories ♥️ I felt glad that I can share with her how I love Park Seo Joon 🤣 I think our Kdrama discussions were way beyond the tour package I paid for. With Alex, I felt a "personal touch of the tour," I felt her sincerity to assist me and my husband in making our Korean visit memorable. Meeting her made me feel that I have 친구 that I can talk to. I'm really hoping to be given another opportunity to tour Korea with my buddy, Alex 😍

Yohan was a really good tour guide. He was informative, patient & kind. We had 6 people in our tour. The van was spacious & clean. I want to caution people who are plus size and not in shape, this is not an easy climb. I had to stop many times & by the end of it, my legs were like jelly lol I underestimated this & it is my own fault for not researching it more. I felt bad that I held up the tour on several occasions. The views were amazing. Yohan dropped us off at a bus station so we could make our way to our respective hotels. Yohan took pictures for us & also made a pit stop at a convenience store for those of us who needed water bottles/snacks.
