Ari is a fantastic guide. She has so much energy and is incredibly kind. We learned so much about the history and traditions of Seoul. She was especially warm and caring with our kids. My daughter cried when our time with Ari ended, she was so sad that we wouldn't be spending more time with her. Ari is also extremely organized and was very helpful in planning and some of the logistical elements of our trip. She was generous with her time and attention, clearly striving to make sure we had a great experience in Seoul. Highly recommend Ari as a guide, especially for families.

Even as I write this, I’m looking at the gifts your kids gave me. The time I spent in Seoul with you and your family was incredibly special and meaningful to me as well. I will always hold close to my heart the unforgettable moments we shared—going out for delicious Korean barbecue, learning K-pop dances, grabbing tasty street food together, and visiting museums. Even though our tour together lasted only four days, seeing the children cling to me on the day we said goodbye brought me to tears on my way home. I will always miss you and your family. Please don’t hesitate to reach out whenever you come back to Korea. Thank you, truly and from the bottom of my heart. I wish you and your family continued happiness and good fortune, always.

“Best tour guide ever!”

We can’t thank Thomas enough. He was absolutely amazing as a tour guide and driver. I wanted a tailored tour and no other company would accommodate. He was very communicative and friendly. When we arrived, he had provided warm transport and water for all passengers. As we drove to the DMZ, he explained all the sights in Seoul. Everything was seamless and he explained a lot about the sight. He handled ticketing and guiding. He brought his professional camera and took photos of us along the way. He was very genuine and even showed us the best places to eat. Don’t worry about any other guide, you have to go with Thomas. He didn’t even ask for a review - that’s how humble he is. 5 stars!!

“A wonderful day with Kwan!”

We really enjoyed our trip to Andong with Kwan. He picked us up promptly and was a very safe driver. The morning was bitterly cold, and he gave us hand warmers. Kwan was always attentive and showed us many kindnesses. We enjoyed visiting and learning about neo Confucian seowons, Bongjeongsa Temple with the oldest wooden building in Korea, and the Hahoe Folk Village in Andong. We also watched the Mask Dance. Kwan was a very knowledgeable guide, and you could tell he really loves the places on his tour. The scenery of the whole area was gorgeous, even in winter. It must be breathtakingly beautiful in other seasons. The restaurant we had lunch at was quaint and the food was delicious! Kwan took a lot of nice photos. By the end of the day, we felt like Kwan was our good friend. Andong is not to be missed and Kwan is the perfect guide to take you there! Thank you Kwan, for a wonderful day trip!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I truly appreciate your kind words and the way you mentioned each place we visited together. It was my great pleasure to guide you both—such a warm, humorous, and thoughtful couple. I especially enjoyed our conversations about family and the hopes we share for our sons as parents. Moments like those make guiding meaningful for me. I’m grateful for the time we spent together in Andong, and I’m delighted to hear the day was memorable for you as well. Wishing you both many more beautiful travels ahead, and I hope our paths cross again someday.
