“Would recommend Thomas to anyone visiting the DMZ”

Thomas was amazing! Very informative, great driver, and even customized our tour when we wanted to see both the DMZ and the aegibong observatory, which not many guided tours would offer in a day. He even offered to drive us to different end point destinations after the tour which was so nice of him. It was super cold that day so he even came prepared for hot packs for everyone too which was so appreciated and thoughtful. It was one of the most memorable parts of our trip and Thomas was a major part of that!

Thomas K.

Hello Eurie, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m truly happy to hear that the DMZ Tour and Aegibong Observatory were one of the most memorable parts of your trip. It was my pleasure to customize the itinerary for you and make sure you could enjoy both places in one day. It was definitely a very cold day, so I’m glad the hot packs helped. Thank you again for trusting me as your guide, and for your kind words. I sincerely hope you had a great time in Korea, and I would be very happy to see you again in the future. Warm regards, Thomas

“Trip to our son’s birthplace ”

Our son was born in Korea and expressed a desire to see the city of his birth and so we arranged a two day trip with Thomas. It’s a small city that is not on the common tourist agenda. We saw a great deal and learned even more. Thomas arranged an excellent itinerary that gave us a very good introduction to the city and surrounding countryside. He made a special effort to introduce us to the reality of Korean life there (food, history, markets, etc). The trip was very meaningful to my son, and really, to all of us. Thomas made every effort to tailor the trip to our interests and kept us comfortable regardless of conditions (it was cold!). Thomas took lots of pictures of us in various scenic or interesting locations which we will treasure. We can recommend Thomas without reservation.

Thomas K.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I truly appreciate your kind words, and I’m honored that I could be part of such a meaningful trip for your son and your family. It was a real pleasure guiding you, and I hope the photos will help you cherish these memories for a long time. Wishing you all the best, and I hope to see you again in Korea someday.

“Best tour guide ever!”

We can’t thank Thomas enough. He was absolutely amazing as a tour guide and driver. I wanted a tailored tour and no other company would accommodate. He was very communicative and friendly. When we arrived, he had provided warm transport and water for all passengers. As we drove to the DMZ, he explained all the sights in Seoul. Everything was seamless and he explained a lot about the sight. He handled ticketing and guiding. He brought his professional camera and took photos of us along the way. He was very genuine and even showed us the best places to eat. Don’t worry about any other guide, you have to go with Thomas. He didn’t even ask for a review - that’s how humble he is. 5 stars!!

Thomas K.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. It was truly a pleasure to guide you, and I am very glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and the DMZ experience. I appreciate your trust and warm words, and I wish you many wonderful memories from your time in Korea. I hope to see you again on your next visit.
