“Great Tour!”
Thomas accompanied our family on a very nice tour of Seoul (twice, on different hot summer days). He was punctual and kind, very informative about the city and available to chaperone us using his immaculate and comfortable car. He also recommended great restaurants and provided a lot of background on Korean culture and history. To top it all off, he took very beautiful professional-level pictures of us. We could not recommend him more!
Thomas K.
Thank you so much for your writing such a nice review.! It was a true pleasure showing your family around Seoul. I'm glad you enjoyed the tours, the food, and the photos. I hope you made unforgettable memories in Korea. Wishing you all the best and hope to see you again someday!

“Nami Island, Railbike and Garden of Morning Calm”
What a great day we had with Thomas. Full of knowledge, organised, we did very little waiting around. He showed us how everything works and what to do. Thomas offered free photos which are amazing and ones we could not have taken ourselves. Thank you Thomas. In all we spent 3 days touring with Thomas and we would book Thomas again, he gives 200% to his customers and nothing is too much trouble. Thomas has a lot of patience as we love photography so we spent a lot of time taking photos.

“DMZ Tour and Paju and suspension bridge”
What a fantastic day we had with Thomas. It snowed the night before and Thomas collected us early and took us up into the hills where we had a ball taking photos. Did our tour, Thomas has lots of knowledge and we really enjoy listening to him telling us the Korea history. Having Thomas as our guide took away all the hassle of finding our way around and working out what to do. Thank you so much Thomas for a great day. You are well organised and love the hand warmers. You never know we might see you again sometime in the future.
Thomas K.
I'm glad you enjoyed the DMZ tour with me. I also appreciate the opportunity to tour with you and your husband. Luckily, it snowed early in the morning and we were able to enjoy the beautiful snow-covered scenery. I hope you make many happy memories during the rest of your time in Korea. I hope everything goes well with you and your family.
