“Treated like royalty!”
My wife & I spent a day with Thomas being shown the highlights of Seoul (a wonderful city!). After doing some research, I gave Thomas my wish list and he drew up an itinerary and managed to fit it all in. Being driven around the city in his very comfortable (large) car meant we were able to cover a lot. It also allowed us to return to a few of the places later during our stay whilst dismissing others. Thomas' knowledge of his city was admirable, both from a historical point of view but also culture and life in this extraordinary city. Friendly and always engaging, I would heartily recommend Thomas to any coming to S Korea / Seoul for the first time.

“DMZ & Seoul”
Thomas K Thomas is a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. He knows his country’s history well. The pride he takes in showing other’s his country exudes from his personality. He’s an excellent photographer and the photos he took were amazing. He has a great eye for detail. He helped us plan an itinerary for the two days he guided us to the DMZ as well as around Seoul. He met our ship in Incheon which eliminated the stress of having to travel to Seoul to meet up with a guide. He executed our itinerary without flaw. He was patient and kind. I can recommend Thomas without reservation.
