“An Amazing, Educational Visit through Seoul's History”
My wife and I had the pleasure of exploring Gyeongbokgung, Bukchon, Gwangjang, N-Seoul Tower, and parts of Insadong with Paul and we had an incredible time! Paul's knowledge of Korean history, specifically the Confucian influence in architecture, government, and, well, all walks of life within both the modern Korean life as well as the Joseon dynasty was amazing context for our traveling. Sure, we could've wandered around Gyeongbokgung palace by ourselves or listened in on some of the wandering tour guides (who Paul was able to correct a few times), but having a private, guided tour around some of Seoul's most beautiful locals was worth the time and money. I'd definitely recommend seeing if Paul can help you enjoy Korea on your next visit!

(7 reviews)The center of culture and center of tour is architecture. Culture is based on spirit of times. Architectural style represents the spirit of times. We can see as much as we know about the spirit of times. Confucianism was the spirit of Joseon Dynasty. Gyeongbokgung represents Confucianism. Without the knowledge about Confucianism, we are not able to fully appreciate authentic value and beauty of Gyeongbokgung. Gyeongbokgung is not only the essence and highlight of palace architecture of Joseon Dynasty, but alos the most beautiful architecture and place in whole Korea.

Busan Private Half-Day Tour: Exclusive Experiences for Your Group!
“What a great itinerary!”
Although we thought we could not physically manage the Temple visit, with Dylan’s support, we made it! What an impressive site worth the effort. The village was interesting but we were amazed by the fish market. Dylan was informative about the différent varieties of shells and fish. Dylan is a gentleman and he made sure we enjoyed our tour. Thank you Dylan!

Thank you so much for making it a splendid day for me as well. I wish you always stay healthy and happy. Warm regards, Dylan

“7 days in Seoul and the surrounding areas with a family of 6”
At first we think 7 days might be a little bit long to stay in Seoul and the nearby areas, but Hans suggested an itinerary which turns out to be perfect. All my family members enjoyed the whole period of stay and the touring/hiking/activities. Hans is excellent in guiding us around, and he showed us both good places and good food. Have no reservation to recommend Hans to anyone who is looking for an experienced and attending guide.
