“Our guide made miracles happen!”
Emoch went above and beyond what we would have been expected. At the last minutes, a friend joined my group and we needed a ticket for the secret garden which was Sold Out. Enoch made many calls and then went to the palace ticket office in person in the early morning to wait on line, hours before our tour start time to procure a ticket for us. He is a miracle worker! We had a wonderful day visiting the secret garden, other palaces and main attraction in Seoul. I hope you will be lucky to have Enoch be your kind. He is kind, thoughtful, smart and will do everything in his power to make your trip memorable.

Dear Maria, Thank you so much for your heartwarming words! I’m really glad I was able to secure the Secret Garden tickets for your group—it was a truly rewarding moment for me as well. Even though it was a long walking tour, everything seemed to fall into place at just the right moment, as if it was all meant to be for you. I also want to thank you and your friend for sharing such wonderful life lessons and positive energy. I truly felt inspired by our time together. I hope to see you all again in Seoul!

“Awesome private tour guide for 16 year old”
Enoch spent three days with my son in Seoul, thoughtfully tailoring each day to his interests. He was knowledgeable, easy to navigate the city with, and incredibly helpful throughout. His flexibility and willingness to assist with anything made the experience seamless. We would absolutely reach out to him again on our next visit.
