“Great time in Seoul and Suwon”

Thomas was a great guide, helpful and energetic in mapping out itineraries in Seoul and Suwon over 2 days. He was knowledgeable and considerate such as providing us with heat packs for our hands as Seoul had a bitterly cold snap with temperatures plunging to -10C. Besides the requested tourist spots, he added interesting visits to places we won't have known otherwise, such as the Starfield library in Suwon.

Thomas K.

Thank you very much for your kind review. It was a pleasure guiding you in Seoul and Suwon, and I’m glad you enjoyed the itinerary. I truly appreciate your feedback

“Would recommend Thomas to anyone visiting the DMZ”

Thomas was amazing! Very informative, great driver, and even customized our tour when we wanted to see both the DMZ and the aegibong observatory, which not many guided tours would offer in a day. He even offered to drive us to different end point destinations after the tour which was so nice of him. It was super cold that day so he even came prepared for hot packs for everyone too which was so appreciated and thoughtful. It was one of the most memorable parts of our trip and Thomas was a major part of that!

Thomas K.

Hello Eurie, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m truly happy to hear that the DMZ Tour and Aegibong Observatory were one of the most memorable parts of your trip. It was my pleasure to customize the itinerary for you and make sure you could enjoy both places in one day. It was definitely a very cold day, so I’m glad the hot packs helped. Thank you again for trusting me as your guide, and for your kind words. I sincerely hope you had a great time in Korea, and I would be very happy to see you again in the future. Warm regards, Thomas

“Trip to our son’s birthplace ”

Our son was born in Korea and expressed a desire to see the city of his birth and so we arranged a two day trip with Thomas. It’s a small city that is not on the common tourist agenda. We saw a great deal and learned even more. Thomas arranged an excellent itinerary that gave us a very good introduction to the city and surrounding countryside. He made a special effort to introduce us to the reality of Korean life there (food, history, markets, etc). The trip was very meaningful to my son, and really, to all of us. Thomas made every effort to tailor the trip to our interests and kept us comfortable regardless of conditions (it was cold!). Thomas took lots of pictures of us in various scenic or interesting locations which we will treasure. We can recommend Thomas without reservation.

Thomas K.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I truly appreciate your kind words, and I’m honored that I could be part of such a meaningful trip for your son and your family. It was a real pleasure guiding you, and I hope the photos will help you cherish these memories for a long time. Wishing you all the best, and I hope to see you again in Korea someday.
