Engaging and informative

We were in Korea for a few days and toured with Thomas on 2 of those days. He is efficient, organized, and eager to share his local insights. It was nice to have him also take on the duties of photographer and chauffeur. I feel like we received a great introduction to this interesting and ancient culture and I would love to return in the future for a deeper dive.

Great hospitality on an eye-opening tour

Thomas met us promptly at our Seoul hotel and we had a full day focused on the DMZ and the War Museum. He is a careful driver and took many excellent pictures for us on his camera (our own paparazzi). He was easy to talk to and enhanced our knowledge of the culture and politics of Korea. His choice of a lunch spot was amazing! Great ambassador for Korea.

Thomas M.

Thank you for spending your precious time with me in Korea. I was happy to guide you. Always be healthy and happy.
