“Amazing Suwon, Wonju, and Catholic sites tour with Hans”
I had a wonderful 2 days tour with Hans exploring various sites in Suwon, Wonju and many historical churches there. I am impressed by his flexibility in accommodating many of my requests and his wealth of knowledge about all Korean tour sites, plus his ability to explain the subject in a way that it is understandable for everyone. I have certainly learned a lot from his 2-day tour and will definitely use his service again in future.

““Excellent Experience””
The tour I had with Mr Hans I must say was an excellent experience. From the time I made my initial inquiry about the booking upto the time he dropped me off in Seoul Station was AMAZING! He always respond to my emails in a timely manner! He was a very knowledgeable, fun, attentive, hospitable and very professional. I enjoyed my short layover stay in Seoul. I will definitely come back to South Korea with my family and will 100% use Mr Hans again. I would definitely recommend him to our friends.

“Friendly and Knowledgeable Guide and Excellent Driver!”
We booked a custom DMZ tour with Hans. I was very specific and detailed about the sites we wanted to see, which I recommend. Hans was incredibly kind and accommodating. He picked our group up at 2 different hotels and told us about the history of sites in Seoul as he drove through the city. His English is great, of course. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the city as well as the philosophy, which was wonderful to learn about. As we drove to Paju I was very pleased (and relieved after all of the taxi rides we'd had in Seoul) that he is a fantastic driver, we felt very safe and he drove very smoothly and not too fast or jerky. The van is large and can comfortably accommodate 9 passengers, I believe. Unfortunately one of the main tours we wanted to visit was not available which was very disappointing but he was very understanding about adjusting our tour which I appreciate very much. We continued on the tour and had a nice meal and visited several other sites. He was so kind to our children and very patient with the pace of the tour and stopping for bathroom and snack breaks. It was very hot!! Overall it was a lovely tour and I would definitely recommend Hans as a tour guide. He also does hiking and biking tours, which seems very unique, especially since Korea is quite different than the US when it comes to camping accommodations.

Thank you so much on your great review and I am happy to hear that you and your kids are enjoyed my tour, I just tried to do small things for your groups as I love all Koreans.. Thanks again.
