“Great guide!”

We are a couple, two independent travelers who rarely use guides. However, we wanted to see some of the old Dynasty highlights and palaces on our first day in Korea and we knew we would have jet lag. So we hired Thomas. He was superb. Kept showing us more and more but always slowed down when we need to slow down. Very friendly and funny. And an amazing photographer. The pictures he took for us are incredible. We would recommend him without a hesitation.

Thomas K.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure showing you both around Seoul on your first day in Korea. I’m glad you enjoyed exploring at a comfortable pace despite the jet lag, and I’m delighted you love the photos! I hope they bring back happy memories of your time here. Thank you again for your kind recommendation!
