“5/5 Stars – An Unforgettable Experience with Someone Who Truly Cares!”

My husband booked with Sally for our family of four and we had the most incredible time exploring Seoul with Sally, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! She didn't just show us the famous sights; she tailored the entire experience to our family's specific needs. From exploring the gorgeous "second palace" (Changdeokgung) and navigating the bustling traditional food market, every thing was perfectly planned. Being vegetarian can sometimes make traveling and dining tricky, but Sally went completely out of her way to ensure we found amazing, authentic plant-based foods to try. She brought history to life at the beautiful Buddhist temple, and then completely pivoted to make our kids' dreams come true with an amazing K-pop experience, a visit to the jaw-dropping Starfield Library in Gangnam, and the stunning Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP). On top of all that, she gave us incredible personal recommendations for exploring the trendy Seongsu-dong shopping neighborhood and navigating its massive, mind-blowing Gentle Monster store. She was so incredibly attentive to our daughters, patiently taking us to the exact shops they were hoping to find to pick up special items that were meaningful to them. By the end of our time together, it didn't feel like we were being guided by a tour professional it truly felt like we were being taken care of by a close family member. Sally’s warmth, care, and dedication made our trip unforgettable. Thank you, Sally!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It was a genuine pleasure to spend time with your wonderful family. Your curiosity, warmth, and enthusiasm made the day enjoyable for me as well. I'm happy that I could help make your time in Seoul comfortable and memorable. Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to share a small part of Korea with you. I will remember our time together fondly, and I hope our paths cross again someday. 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!

“Hours well spent”

Our visit to the museum took place on our first day in Seoul. David used the exhibits in the museum to give us a very helpful outline of the history of South Korea and its people. His knowledge of the country, its culture and its history appears to be extensive and informed by his many years of residence in Seoul. Having grown up in the USA his English is fluent and expressive. He was a delightful guide.
