Seoul Private Tours

“Touring with a Guide of Exceptional Knowledge ”

If you are interested in understanding Korea beyond the basics, I’d definitely recommend spending time with Prof. David Mason. Today I spent 8 hours with Prof. Mason, a tourist professor and scholar and contributor to Lonely Planet’s Korea content. I chose him through Gowithguide because his background matched my interest in Korean history - from early archeological findings to the formation of Korea today. In those 8 hours , he took me through Korea’s past in a way that was richly informative and easy to follow. I could listen to him for hours. At the national museum of Korea , he walked me through the early kingdoms, and around Seoul City Hall ( both old and new buildings ) and he connected that history to modern Korea. I appreciated that he adapted the day to my interests in a thoughtful in depth way and answered all of my questions without hesitation. I’m looking forward to continuing to learn from him by following him on FB and exploring his ebooks.

“Encyclopedic Knowledge”

David was by far the most seasoned guide we have worked with. His life experience and vast knowledge of the subject made the tour an unforgettable stop in Seoul.

“Our guide made miracles happen!”

Emoch went above and beyond what we would have been expected. At the last minutes, a friend joined my group and we needed a ticket for the secret garden which was Sold Out. Enoch made many calls and then went to the palace ticket office in person in the early morning to wait on line, hours before our tour start time to procure a ticket for us. He is a miracle worker! We had a wonderful day visiting the secret garden, other palaces and main attraction in Seoul. I hope you will be lucky to have Enoch be your kind. He is kind, thoughtful, smart and will do everything in his power to make your trip memorable.

Dear Maria, Thank you so much for your heartwarming words! I’m really glad I was able to secure the Secret Garden tickets for your group—it was a truly rewarding moment for me as well. Even though it was a long walking tour, everything seemed to fall into place at just the right moment, as if it was all meant to be for you. I also want to thank you and your friend for sharing such wonderful life lessons and positive energy. I truly felt inspired by our time together. I hope to see you all again in Seoul!
