“Sally gave us a great tour”
We had a wonderful day with Sally. She went above and beyond to show us sights compatible with our interests. I recommend her without reservation. She has lived in the United States and her English is perfect! V from Pali Alto

“Great complement to the historical tour Sally also offers”
This was my second of two tours with Sally. The idea was to go through the history and development of South Korea early on and then a few days later check the most modern and trendy spots in the more upscale neighborhoods in Seoul and it worked out exactly that way. Sally also arranged private transportation that turned the day a bit more comfortable, which was trully appreciated. The day went so well that it made me plan on returning to Seoul at some point soon to experience the cultural aspect (museums, art exhibitions and events) of the city in more depth than I did this time around.
Sally K.
Hi Rafael, Thank you so much for taking the time to write another lovely review! I hope you’ve made it home safely by now and are getting some well-deserved rest. I truly cherish the two days we spent together. They were so special to me, and I’ll always remember them. Just as you hoped and I promised, when you come back to Korea, I’ll show you even more and share many more stories with you. And of course, we still have to do the DMZ tour together! :D I already miss you. ㅜㅜ Have a great weekend and take good care of yourself! Best wishes, Sally
