Reviews
I had such an awesome one-day tour in Seoul during my layover at Incheon Airport! We visited Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, Ikseon-dong, Insadong, and Starfield COEX — all in one day, and it didn’t feel rushed at all. Each place had its own charm, from traditional Korean vibes to super modern spots. Our guide, Mr. Lee, was amazing!👍👍 He was super friendly, fun, and full of interesting stories about Korean history and culture. He made everything so easy and enjoyable, and his energy really made the trip special. If you’ve got a long transit in Incheon, I totally recommend this tour — you’ll get a real taste of Seoul in just one day.😌↕️
Marcos is an excellent tour guide! We truly enjoyed our tour of Korea, even though we only had 16 hours to explore. He took us to Hwaseong Fortress, Korean Folk Village, and Starfield Library. Even though we were extremely tired from traveling, he kindly let us rest in the van during the drives and would wake us up when it was time for the next stop. He was very thoughtful and always made sure we never went hungry while sightseeing. Thank you for the wonderful tour, Marcos! We look forward to exploring the Republic of Korea with you again in the future. 😊
