“Thanks for a great day Alice!”
Alice was very helpful when organising the day and was flexible to meet our needs. We'd definitely recommend a tour with Alice!

“Five hours in Seoul”
Alice showed us the most iconic places in Seoul before we had to catch our flight. She even took us to the airport! We did a modified version of her history tour which allowed us to visit the castle, Hanok village, Gamcheon, and the riverwalk. We were hoping to squeeze in Korean bbq but ran out of time. Thank you, Alice, for the stories, history lessons, and the rides. We wouldn’t have been able to cover as much ground without you!

Hello Jean!! How have you been? I believe you’ve arrived safely at your destination and are now back to your peaceful daily life. Thank you so much for leaving me such a kind review. I trust that your caring husband and your lovely daughter, who looks like a teenager, are doing well too. I hope you’ll visit again with even more wonderful travel plans next time. When you do, I’d love to introduce you to some delicious Korean food. Take care and stay healthy! Best Regards. From Alice.

“ Ari was everything you could dream of in a guide”
For our two days with Ari in Seoul, I sent a few ideas for our tour. She wonderfully advised and arranged for those vists. But not only that, she supplimented with fun and interesting attractions that we so enjoyed... things we would not have know of on our own. Ari was very kind and positive and helpful. She was a joy to be with. She worked to ensure that each of us was enjoying the tour and all needs were met. We did historical things, K-pop things, and food! Her command of English is fluent and natural. You can consider her your very capable true and trusted friend.
Ari K.
I really appreciate it. It meant a lot that you were so open to my ideas and genuinely listened. If you ever come back to Korea, please get in touch — I’d love to see you again. Thanks again, truly.
