South Korea Tour Reviews

Excellent service from start to finish!

We were absolutely dazzled by our short trip to Busan in the rain, and it's all thanks to our guide! We booked with guide Dylan's team and had the pleasure to meet with guide Finn. He was a star! We arrived in Busan during an active typhoon in Japan, so the weather was rainy and dull for the most part, and became extremely windy later on in certain areas, but from the comfort of Finn's car and his guidance, we didn't feel we missed out on anything Busan had to offer. From the first time visitors in my group, to many who had been once before on a cruise, to myself who visited for the 4th time - we all had completely new experiences in the city! We had great fun learning about the history of Busan, the local culture and industries, and were impressed by Finn's knowledge of foreign countries. He even told us he recently guided a popular actor from the UK where our group is from! He accommodated our entire group perfectly, even finding vegan and vegetarian food for my mother and grandmother. We especially loved stopping in the Hanok cafe as our 2nd stop as it was really idyllic in the rain, and their coffee and tea choices were sublime. The itinerary was flexible and we were able to finish several planned stops quite early, especially spending less time on the beach due to the weather, so instead of ending the tour early, Finn was able to suggest visiting the Maritime Museum as a final stop on the fly. As none of us had been, we said yes and proceeded to have a great end to the tour! He drove us back and checked thoroughly to find a lost item our group left behind. With his provision of water and umbrellas for us to use, we felt his service was top notch!

Dear Evan, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a heartwarming and detailed review of your recent trip to Busan! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that despite the rainy weather and the typhoon passing through, your family had a completely new and magical experience in our city. I have shared your wonderful compliments with Finn and Dylan. Finn was so touched and delighted to hear that you, your mother, and your grandmother all felt perfectly looked after. He also fondly remembers your group and mentioned how much he enjoyed sharing stories about Busan’s history, culture, and your shared connection to the UK! Knowing that you felt well-cared for from start to finish is the greatest reward for our team. Whether it is your 1st visit or your 5th, Busan will always have something new to show you. We truly hope to welcome you and your lovely family back to South Korea again in the future!

Tour of DMZ

We had an amazing time with Sally on our tour. From booking to getting us back safely, the experience was flawless. The communication was seamless & prompt. Sally arrived on time & had booked us a very comfortable tour van to the DMZ & Omma Poom park in Paju. She was very knowledgeable about Korean history & facts. She answered every question we had to prepare us for an amazing experience. She planned the entire day and it was the highlight of our trip in Korea! As a Korean adoptee, our first stop was to the Omma Poom park in Paju. It was a special visit to walk around and see the sculptures & dedication to Koran adoptees worldwide. Plus, I got to experience it with two of my best friends. We all agreed it was a very memorable part of the day. After we continued on to the DMZ tour. It was quite the experience to get so close and to be able to view at the observation deck. Sally was attentive, encouraging and very thoughtful throughout the tour. She had a lot of history knowledge and shared so much information about Korean history. We would highly recommend booking a tour with Sally. Next visit, we will book with her again!

It was truly an honor to spend the day with you and your friends. Seeing Omma Poom Park through your eyes as a Korean adoptee made the visit especially meaningful for me as well. Thank you for your thoughtful questions, and wonderful company throughout the day. It was a pleasure sharing Korean history, culture, and the DMZ experience with all of you. Moments like these are why I love what I do. :D I’m grateful that I could be a small part of your journey back to Korea and help create meaningful memories with your friends. Thank you once again for your trust, kindness, and support. Wishing you all the very best until we meet again! Warm regards, Sally

Exploring like a local with a good friend

Jeeseon made my first trip to Korea unforgettable. From the moment we met, she felt more like a longtime friend than a tour guide. She customized the experience around my interests and enriched every stop with detailed historical and cultural context. Beyond being incredibly knowledgeable, she is also a fantastic Korean language teacher who explains concepts clearly and makes learning enjoyable. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail truly set her apart. If you’re visiting Korea and want a personalized, insightful, and memorable experience, I cannot recommend Jeeseon highly enough.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind review. I don't think you realize how happy I was to meet you. My K-drama friend! Sometimes I felt like you knew even more about Korea than I do. I had such a wonderful time exploring Seoul with you, talking about Korean culture, history, language, and of course K-dramas. It never felt like work, it felt like spending the day with a good friend. I have a feeling your Korean is going to get really good. Keep studying and watching K-dramas! And whenever you see one of the places we visited appear on screen, I hope it brings back good memories and makes you smile. Thank you again for this warm review. It truly means a lot to me and gives me so much encouragement. Take care, and I hope we can meet again someday!
