“Excursion to Seoul from our cruise port. ”
Minho Kang met us right inside the cruise terminal building with a sign which was very convenient. He was such an awesome guide. He told us so much about everything we saw and you could tell how much he loved his country and he wanted to please us. He explained in detail the history about everything we saw and you could tell how much he enjoyed showing us very important parts of Seoul. We saw such beautiful things and he was very patient when we wanted to take pictures and take our time to admire everything we were seeing. He took us to a pharmacy so my sister could buy medicine and helped her find the right product for her needs. I bought a postcard that I wanted to mail to my grandson and he stamped it and put it in the mail for me because the post office was already closed. I thought that was so generous of him. I think our tour lasted longer than what we booked it for and we all had a great time with him.

“Outstanding Tour of Seoul”
My wife and I enjoyed an outstanding tour of Seoul with Minho. He worked with me to customize the day’s tour to include sites that we were most interested in visiting. Communication was great in planning and while on the tour. Fluent in English. Easy going and flexible but focused enough to keep us on time. Patient in answering our many questions. I highly recommend Minho as your guide for South Korea.
