Review for: Seoul Gyeongbokgung Palace Half-Day Guided Historical Tour

We had such an amazing experience on this tour! Everything was well organised, smooth, and really enjoyable from start to finish. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, giving us enough time to explore while still covering all the highlights. A special shoutout to our guide, Felicity—she truly made the day unforgettable. She was so warm, welcoming, and naturally funny, which kept the whole group engaged and relaxed. Her knowledge was incredible, and she shared so many interesting insights and stories that brought each place to life. What really stood out was how she stayed true to Korean culture, respectfully and authentically sharing traditions, history, and meanings in a way that felt genuine and immersive. Thank you, Felicity, for such a wonderful and memorable experience! 정말 즐거운 시간이었습니다, 감사합니다!

Our tour guide, Yeoni, was a very friendly and enthusiastic person. It was just a bit disappointing that she was late to our meetup point that's why she wasn't able to talk about the first location which was the Jogyesa temple. But other than that, the tour is worth it.

We had such a wonderful experience with Katie as our guide! From the very beginning, she made us feel incredibly welcome with her warm and friendly personality. She’s not only knowledgeable, but also genuinely caring and attentive, always making sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and looked after. Katie brought a special human touch to the experience that really made it memorable. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and it shows in every detail. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great guide—she made our day unforgettable!
