The staff provided excellent service! They explained the options clearly when we were choosing. Arriving early means more styles to choose from! The clothes are actually very beautiful if you know how to style them! We brought our own hair accessories to match. As soon as we arrived at Gyeongbokgung Palace, foreigners asked to take pictures with us! Try to avoid choosing colors that are too light, as they might blend in with the ground and not stand out. I highly recommend this shop! It's great!

Seoul City Tour Review: The tour was a great experience and featured some of Seoul’s top attractions. From start to finish, the tour had a dedicated group and a knowledgeable guide who spoke English throughout, which made everything easy to follow.
A lower rating on value for money only due to a discrepancy in klook vs other booking sites; I found to be charged almost double the price compared to some who had used tripadvisor; no fault of the tour operators, more so my own for not doing more research—everything about the tour itself ran well, and the team delivered a solid, fairly well-organized day given the 8hr itinerary.
A special shout-out goes to Hanki/Eugene, who was great at his job. He stayed upbeat and helpful despite the very hot weather, and his professionalism made the tour better.
Overall, I’d recommend the tour for anyone wanting to see major Seoul highlights with a friendly, English-speaking guide. just make sure to compare all options for the best value ;)

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

Although we thought we'd have a Chinese-speaking private tour guide, our young, handsome, and friendly local Korean English-speaking guide made us very happy and comfortable. He was incredibly accommodating to our itinerary and activities, and we are extremely satisfied.

I’d happily run with Han Stride again! Our 9:30 p.m. running tour was one of the highlights of our trip. The guides were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about running and building a community. We got to experience beautiful places around the palace at night, which we never would have discovered on our own.
What impressed me most was how accommodating they were with our pace. This tour is perfect for beginners who want a fun jog as well as experienced runners looking for a unique way to explore the city. The atmosphere was relaxed, encouraging, and full of positive energy.
If I return to Seoul, I will absolutely join another run with them. I highly recommend Han Stride to anyone who loves running, sightseeing, and meeting people who truly enjoy sharing their city and their passion for the sport. It felt less like a tour and more like running with friends.

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!

I felt the portion size was a bit large, but the taste was absolutely delicious. I visited at lunchtime, and there were no other customers, which made me a little worried. I was happy to receive a lovely souvenir when I left.

The location is incredibly convenient. There's a bus stop right outside the door with direct service to the airport. The room was very clean and comfortable. It's super easy to get anywhere, even if you return to the hotel late at night, because it's in Dongdaemun, which is essentially a city that never sleeps. You don't have to worry about it being too quiet or dangerous at night. There's a 7-Eleven downstairs, and the hotel is right above Subway Exit 4! The location is perfect! Breakfast: Simple but delicious. Cleanliness: 100 points. Transportation convenience: 100 points. Service: Excellent.
