“Incredible Experience with Ari in Seoul!”

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.

Ari K.

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.
