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 😍

Our guide Park is very professional. When visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace, Folk Culture Museum and Hanok Village, I introduced many details in detail, such as several treasures! I also recommend a good restaurant for dinner, help us take things, take pictures (super will choose the angle, praise). Thank you very much for making our trip to Seoul very special! Our "Korean Buddy" Mr. Park is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable on all sort of things! He introduced many history and culture to us while visiting the Palace, Folk Museum and Bukchon village. Tips on what to see and learn. Saved us a lot of time! Mr. Park also helped us with carrying our stuff and taking pictures (he knows how to take great pictures !!!) He makes our trip to Seoul even more memorable and interesting. A great think you to Mr. Park!

We had a wonderful experience with Jia as our guide in Seoul, exploring various place in Seoul that we were curious about. She was incredibly knowledgeable and brought Korean history to life through her explanations of Hanok architecture and local culture. Her English was excellent, making it easy and enjoyable to learn and ask questions throughout the tour. Jia also guided us through Gwangjang Market, where we had a fantastic time trying a variety of local foods and makgeolli. She was attentive and thoughtful, making sure we were comfortable throughout the day, and even helped us take great photos to capture our memories. It was so nice to have a local bring us around for half a day. She was full of enthusiasm about sharing her recommendations if we needed any. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an engaging and memorable tour in Seoul.

This isn’t a tour like others. You are hiring a tour guide / buddy to show you around sights that you choose. Transportation isn’t included and you will have to pay additional to get yourselves and the guide around. we were extremely lucky as we got an amazing kind, knowledgeable and friendly guide named Jenny. I would suggest when you book this you book a full day and ensure you arrange separate driver and vehicle. Plan the tour well and give time per spot you visit.

Clair is the perfect Korean buddy! We were so lucky to have her! She is sooo sweet and kind, very good with people of all ages. My girls had such a good time with her. She took us to Myeongdong and Hongdae. She took me to Olive Young, and showed me all her favorite products. Then took us to a very cool pet cafe, that my girls loved. She catered the tour to our specific needs. She was very attentive, and has very high EQ. She will take care of you from beginning to end. All around perfect day with Clair!! Thank you!!!

Jia was an awesome tour guide! We got a lot of different experiences packed into our 4 hours, but never felt rushed. She shared some history as we took in the sights from the N Seoul Tower, went to the Bukchon Hanok Village that included a stop at a cute little tea house and a shop for some skin care products (we asked for advice on that and she delivered!) and a brief stop at the Gwangjang market where she introduced us to a few new foods and traditions. Overall it was a great day, I recommend it!
