“K pop demon Hunter tour”
We really enjoy the day with our tour guide. Sally was an excellent guide, We learned about Corean history because this is not only a related K pop demon hunter tour, Sally explained us a complementary history info on each spot that we visited. In our case we pick up this tour for our 7 year old Huntrix fan and Sally was really nice with our kid. I would absolutely recommend Sally as your tour guide.

“That best tour i have ”
Hi everyone! I highly recommend Sally; she is the best guide. • i loved the experience. Gyeongju is basically a real-life open-air museum. Her descriptions of all the events, followed by a stroll through the streets, made for an unforgettable experience
Sally K.
Haha! I think Seoul and Gyeongju got mixed up. :D We were in Seoul, remember? And that pagoda was actually the model at the National Folk Museum, a replica in the famous temple, Gyeongju. Anyway, thank you so much for the sweet review! I'm so glad you had a great time. Best wishes! Sally

“TWO FANTASTIC DAYS OF TOURS IN SEOUL WITH SALLY K”
We booked two days of tours in Seoul with Sally day 1 historic tour of Seoul, day 2 modern Seoul, we were we totally blown away by Seoul as a city, and Sally was a really amazing guide was incredibly knowledgeable took us to all the sights we would never have found or known about ourselves, having discussed prior to our trip what we would like to do and tailoring exactly to suit our needs, her English was excellent, and as my husband had a knee injury arranged for a very comfortable car and driver for both days of the tours, I would highly recommend using Sally if you are looking for a guide in Seoul.
Sally K.

Full-day Intro to Seoul and Korean History
This is my standard and very popular Itinerary for this ~8 hour tour: it can be adjusted for individual preferences. Its intention is to be a fascinating orientation & overview of Seoul "old & new", with introduction to who the Koreans are, and the key points of their history and customs. We can move faster and see more, or take our time and see a bit fewer sites; it's all up to your personal style. I will be telling colorful stories all along the way. You will learn so much, and in context!!
