The whole thing is a combination of handsome men and beautiful women. The driver is a handsome Korean guy. Although he doesn't understand Chinese, it's pleasing to the eye. The Chinese tour guide is a beautiful woman with a good temperament. She is humorous and has a sweet smile. The friendly attitude of the two people makes people feel very good. It is really comfortable to ride in the car with the cool breeze on summer nights. You can see the scenery that you don't usually notice during the whole trip. The car will play very exciting music during the driving process. When you meet pedestrians and hear the driver ring the bell, everyone will wave and say hello to the passers-by. Some people will respond enthusiastically, and some people will show a look of surprise. Later, the Chinese tour guide also buried a little surprise for shy people to experience the Korean enthusiasm, which made me feel ashamed. Those who have not experienced it can try it well!

Although we expected a walking tour, the tour operator had arranged for a mini van due to the cold temperature. This was a great move as it was a cold windy morning. The tour guide was knowledgeable and group was only 4 people, which made it easy to navigate. We visited two main sites during the morning and on these site we saw multiple historical and cultural places, buildings and performances such as changing of the guards. This is a great tour to start of your Seoul experience, followed by your own exploration.

We got so much out of this tour with the tour guid AJ that it is hard to comprehand. we did the following: Budist temple, Seoul Folk Museum, Deoksung Palace (the newest and 5th), Ginseng museum, lunch (at own expense), Seoul N Tower, different seremonial rituals and strolling in the Han Ok willage. everything was masterfully guided by our Funny and educational Tour Guid AJ from Seoul City Tour she was the best. both funny, good sense of ironi and was able to answer all of our questions. the tour would npt be the same without. All in all there are only two grapes about this trip. 1. we did not went to the Gyenbokung palace wich was a real bummer and a lie from the description. 2. we didn't get to spend more time with the tour guide. even tho we didn't get to see the main palace we had a great and informative time. wil all in all recomend, BUT NOT ON TUESDAYS SINCE THE MAIN PALACE IS CLOSED. :)

This was the second walking tour we booked with June on this trip, and once again he exceeded our expectations. His background in Korean history truly shines through. He shared South Korea’s perspectives, its relationships with other countries, and the cultural context that shapes everyday life. June explained why Koreans think the way they do, why certain traditions and behaviors exist, and how the culture continues to evolve with modern changes. His depth of knowledge made everything incredibly easy to understand and so interesting. If you want meaningful insight into Korean culture and history, book this tour. You’ll learn so much in just two hours—it’s absolutely worth it.

We loved everything about this tour. It was seamless! From the itinerary down to the schedule. The whole experience was perfect 🫰🏼I was expecting it to be a little on the serious side but it was made fun and enjoyable because of our lovely tour guide AJ from Seoul City Tour. She’s the best!

Thank you, Sky! Thank you for taking care of me and waiting for me even though I was 5 minutes late 🥹. As a solo traveler, I didn’t feel left out at all. He always asked me things like, “Do you prefer spicy?” or telling me, “It’s okay, they are serving single portions at the restaurant too.” I really liked the dakgalbi restaurant he took us to, it was delicious 😋. You did a great job.

Had a really fun day! We visited four places and everything felt well paced, not rushed at all. It was cold, but there were fewer crowds and the weather was great for photos. Our guide, Hakim, was friendly and professional, and kept us updated the whole time, even through chat. Definitely a memorable tour and one I’d recommend.

Highly recommend! During the 3 hours tour led by our handsome driver Kevin and humorous guide Andy (of course, Andy is handsome too) ,we had a deeper understanding of the history and culture of Seoul. We also attracted many eye sight along the way too!!! By the way, the chicken soup is sooooo yummy 😋!
