“Day Tour with Sally K”
Sally K met us each day with our itinerary planned as well as a discussion around suggestions and any changes we would like made. She was very knowledgeable about both historical and current events. Her warm friendly nature made for a memorable visit to South Korea and we would certainly recommend her to friends and family in the future.

“A two day in Seoul with Sally”
We had an amazing time in Seoul thanks to our guide, Sally! We are a group of seven people from europe and the states , old friends that travel each year to a different country! We go as a private group and always get a local Guide to help us get around , Seoul is huge you need a driver and a guide at least for the first two days ! Sally picked us from our hotel eveeyday always with a smile and help us see everything we wanted in 8 hours each day ! We are 7 so everybody sometimes has an interest in something else, we got to see cherry blossoms , the palaces , amazing neighborhoods totally diverse from each other, and thanks to her we had a very stress free! We even went shopping plus ate street food to the local markets ! sally is highly recommended!

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. It was such a pleasure spending time with your wonderful group. I loved how each of you brought different interests and energy, which made the tour even more fun and dynamic! Wishing all seven of you many more amazing trips around the world together. See you again. :)

“Amazing KPop Demon Hunters Tour”
Sally was an incredible tour guide who did a fantastic job taking us to important scenes from the film (she had the scenes available on her iPad to show us we were indeed at the same staircase, viewpoint, etc) while also weaving in Korean history and culture. She was able to fully customize our tour and adapt on the fly as we ended up only having 5 hours in Seoul (it was a cruise stop for us from Incheon) and the Seoul Marathon was on. We highly recommend Sally and will book her for other tours when we’re in Seoul for a longer visit. If you / your children are into K-pop I’d suggest considering adding HiKR Ground to your itinerary
Sally K.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! I'm so glad you enjoyed visiting the film locations and it’s always fun to match the exact spots together! :D I also appreciate your cooperation with the time constraints and the Seoul Marathon. I would love to welcome you again in the future. Wishing you and your family wonderful travels ahead!

Despite its name, it is one of the most heavily guarded borders in the world. This tour is not just a visit to a historical site; it is also a journey toward understanding the reality of division and the hope for peace on the Korean Peninsula.
