“Sally was a great guide in Seoul ”
We love spending the day with Sally as she guided us through the historic parts of Seoul. She really loves Korea and you can tell the pride that she has in her country. She also guided us through some of the Korean beauty shops and helped me navigate the sometimes overwhelming selection. I would highly recommend using her as a guide. She speaks English beautifully and has an amazing personality. We all loved her.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I truly enjoyed guiding a lovely family, and seeing how much you appreciated Korean history, culture, food, and K-beauty made my day even more rewarding! It was my great honor to be your guide, and I hope to see you again someday. I miss you already and love you all too! :)

“Fantastic Tour”
Sally was absolutely wonderful. She was so flexible, knowledgeable and fun. She knows so much about her city, she was wonderful to learn from. She was able to give so many recommendations for everything from tea, to food, to places to go. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

“Great time with Jeeseon!”
Jeeseon is friendly, super helpful, kind, and just a great person. We told her that we wanted to rent hanboks and visit Gyeongbokgung Palace followed by a walking tour of Bukchon and the neighboring areas. It was nice to not be a part of a huge group. She made sure that we got to the hanbok shop early and could take our time selecting our costumes without getting mobbed. She gave us practical advice, making sure that the sale people did not upsell things. Communication with Jeeseon before the trip was very easy. She got back to me on my questions and requests for changes very quickly. She is very accomodating. I even asked her if it was possible to schedule a tour on her day off. Luckily she was free that day and was able to give us the tour. For the ladies, you might want to ask her about K-beauty. Jeeseon is very fair and her skin is excellent, so I asked her about sunscreens and K-beauty brands and she gave me lot of tips!

Jeeseon C.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and heartwarming review! Reading your words truly made my day. To be honest, you and your group were exactly the kind of guests I always hope to meet, so curious, engaged, and full of great questions! It was like a dream come true for a guide. I enjoyed every single question you guys asked, and the time went by so fast that I genuinely felt sad when the tour had to end. It felt more like hanging out with friends than 'working.' I’m so glad the Hanbok experience and the Bukchon walk were special for you, and I'm happy my K-beauty tips were helpful too! It was a pleasure to spend my day off with such wonderful people. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year, and I truly hope our paths cross again in Seoul!
