Reviews
“1 day in Seoul”
As we only had 1 day to get around Seoul we organised a guide. Kelly was young, keen, accommodating and happy. She planned our day well so we got to see all the main sites we had identified and a few more. She was a great help with navigating public transport ticket purchase and best options to get us to were we needed. She was a gem ️

Hiiii Karen! Thank you so much, and your picture looks lovely! I wish we had taken a picture together but I forgot to suggest it :( Anyway, I'm glad you had a great time. See you in Australia next time! :D
“First Time In Seoul”
I had never been to Seoul before, so I hired Kelly for three full days as a guide. She asked me what I wanted to see and experience, and being very fond of history, I wanted to visit the historical sights and just learn more about the culture in general. I had a wonderful time in Seoul. I believe we did a little bit of everything. We went to one of the palaces, visited the street markets, ate traditional Korean food, went for a bike ride, and visited museums. Kelly was very thoughtful to my needs and always made sure I was having a good experience. She is intelligent and can hold conversations very well. It was such a pleasure to have her as a guide and I learned about Korean history and culture as well. It was exactly what I wanted to do. Thank You Kelly!
