“Tour with Kwan around Changdeokgung Palace and Seoul”
My family and I had an excellent full day tour with Kwan. He first picked us up and took us to the Changdeokgung Palace, where he was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Palace and Korea. He answered all our questions and we all learnt so much from Kwan. We also went to a food market and tried Korean market food which was delicious and made seamless with Kwan’s recommendations and ordering- something we would have be unable to do without him. Further we explored the traditional Hanbok village and had great conversations together over coffee. We highly recommend Kwan as a tour guide - he put together an unforgettable day in Seoul for our family. We would definitely go on a tour with Kwan again! Thank you so much Kwan.

“The BEST!!”
I contacted Mr. Kwan only days before my 20th wedding anniversary desperately looking to plan something special for my special lady. Within just days we had an amazing itinerary planned for the day and it went off without a hitch. Limo, private boat ride on the Han river, sightseeing, and a special little know lunch to die for (should be officially a Michelin star restaurant but not for some reason). Flowers, balloons, champagne, everything I could have asked for and more (and I didn’t ask he just knew)!! To top it off, the total affair was well within our agreed upon budget. All of this within just three days notice. I cannot thank him enough and recommend Mr. Kwan for anyone interested in a memorable experience in Seoul. 감사합니다 Mr. Kwan
Kwan J.
Thank you so much, Subash. It was truly a short time to prepare everything, but I genuinely enjoyed every moment of arranging your anniversary day — and seeing you and Pooja love it made it even more meaningful for me. I really appreciate your generosity and kindness throughout the process. It was such a delightful time with a lovely and fun couple like you both. I hope you visit Korea again in the future, and I would be honored to help you create another beautiful celebration. Warm regards, Kwan

I’d be very happy to guide you anytime. Wishing you and your family all the best until we meet again. Warm regards, Kwan
