“Namsan walking trail”
Great experience! Absolutely a great walking tour. Although it was a 3 hour tour we did a 4 hour tour. Great view, Namsan walking trail. Enjoyed delicious porkbelly afterwards. Peter was a great tour guide! Excellent English. Friendly, knowledgeable! The best tour and tourguide. Thankyou!

Thank you so much for the amazing review! I really enjoyed our extra time together at Namsan and the delicious pork belly dinner. It was a pleasure being your guide and friend. I hope to see you again someday. Take care!

“Touring with a Guide of Exceptional Knowledge ”
If you are interested in understanding Korea beyond the basics, I’d definitely recommend spending time with Prof. David Mason. Today I spent 8 hours with Prof. Mason, a tourist professor and scholar and contributor to Lonely Planet’s Korea content. I chose him through Gowithguide because his background matched my interest in Korean history - from early archeological findings to the formation of Korea today. In those 8 hours , he took me through Korea’s past in a way that was richly informative and easy to follow. I could listen to him for hours. At the national museum of Korea , he walked me through the early kingdoms, and around Seoul City Hall ( both old and new buildings ) and he connected that history to modern Korea. I appreciated that he adapted the day to my interests in a thoughtful in depth way and answered all of my questions without hesitation. I’m looking forward to continuing to learn from him by following him on FB and exploring his ebooks.
