“Ari went Above and Beyond – Highly Recommended!”
We had an amazing experience in Seoul thanks to our incredible tour guide, Ari. Her English was excellent, and she was not only knowledgeable about Korean history and daily life but also incredibly kind and helpful throughout the entire day. Ari went above and beyond—after the tour, she helped us book train tickets and even arranged medication for us. She truly made our trip smoother and more enjoyable. A lovely, caring person and a fantastic guide—highly recommended! P.S.: Ari - if you come to London please let us know. We would love to meet you and show you our home city :)

“Amazing Tour”
Kwan is the man! My son and I spent the afternoon with him. He knows the history very well - speaks excellent English and just delightful to be around. Don't pass this man up!

Thank you so much for your kind review, Chris and Jake! It was truly a pleasure guiding you on the DMZ tour. Your genuine interest in Korean history inspired me to share everything I could with full passion and dedication. I really appreciated our meaningful conversations and the energy you brought to the experience. And what an awesome surprise to learn that all three of us graduated from the same college—Go Terps! That unexpected connection made our time together even more special. Hope your journey home was smooth, and may your curiosity continue leading you to fascinating places, near and far!

March to May and September to November are often considered ideal travel months because of the mild weather and slightly lower crowds, but Seoul has something to offer all year round.
Don’t tip your guide in South Korea. Why? Because it carries a different cultural meaning than in other countries. In Korea, it can be taken as rude and offensive. As if you’re insulting the person by calling them poor. Instead, leave them a five star review and refer their services to other travelers.
Yes! We have bilingual women guides that specialize in highlighting Seoul’s greatest elements. To learn more, message one of our local expert guides.
English is widely understood in Seoul, but people in Seoul are less likely to speak fluent English. The proficiency rate in Seoul is 580, which is moderate. The remedy? Speak slowly and learn some common phrases, or get a local guide to help deepen your interaction with locals. You might even make a new friend!
