“Photo Taking and personal Tour guide”

The experience is fantastic. I have hired many private tour guides in various trips and I would say this is the best I have experience so far. Many private tour guide will just bring you to a destination, do some introduction and leave you alone. Thomas goes everywhere you goes and explain every little details. This helps us appreciate korean culture better. He is also jovial, as he always laugh and creates some fun in his sharing. The best, which my two kids love, is his photography. He knows where to takes the best shot, he is patient and he ensures all the good spots are taken with a photograph. on iternary, we all love the korean folk village and the fortress. starfield is light. if you can switch this with Naksan park, which Thomas can help with better photos. The park is beautiful !

Thomas was a highlight to our vacation in Seoul. He was knowledgeable, friendly, great with picture taking and great in navigating Seoul. His tour was organized and comfortable. English language was not an issue. He also had great recommendations for the remainder of our stay. We enjoyed our tour with Thomas and will book him again on our next visit to Korea!
