“Great Tour”

From the initial interaction Charlie was responsive and eager to help. He asked the follow up questions in order to understand our interests. He then proposed a highly customized tour and then worked with us further to adjust it based on what we wanted to see. On the day of the tour he showed up on time with a clean and comfortable vehicle. During the tour he showed his deep knowledge of Seoul, its history and its architecture. It was a memorable tour that we enjoyed and will remember. Charlie is a real pro! Ben

Dear Ben Gurdus, It was a great pleasure to guide you on our architecture tour of Seoul, visiting the Amorepacific Headquarters, Sebitseom, Lotte World Tower, and Dongdaemun Design Plaza. I especially enjoyed exploring the distinctive architectural character of each place with you—from the open courtyards and thoughtful spatial design of the Amorepacific Headquarters, to the unique floating architecture of Sebitseom on the Han River, the impressive vertical scale and panoramic views of Lotte World Tower, and the flowing curves and dynamic spaces of Dongdaemun Design Plaza. I sincerely appreciate your enthusiasm and genuine interest throughout the entire experience, from preparing the tour to visiting and discussing each architectural site together. Our conversations about the buildings, their design concepts, and how they relate to Seoul made the tour especially meaningful for me as well. Thanks to your thoughtful questions and passion for architecture, I also had a wonderful opportunity to study, learn, and discover many new things along the way. Thank you very much for your kind review and positive feedback. It truly means a lot to me. I hope the tour gave you not only memorable impressions of these remarkable buildings, but also a deeper sense of Seoul through its architecture and urban landscape. Warm regards, Charlie Choi

“DMZ tour with Charlie”

We had an awesome day with Charlie touring the DMZ zone. All communications prior to our arrival were perfect. He is extremely knowledgeable in the history as well as anything we may have asked. We had plenty of time to see the sights, he instructed us along the way with what you can and cannot do. He has a good sense of humor, is a careful driver so we felt comfortable all day. I cannot recommend Charlie enough! If you are interested in the DMZ tour, get in touch with Charlie. He also offered pickup and drop off at the airport which worked perfect for us! Thanks Charlie!

Charlie C.

Dear Diane, Thank you very much for participating in today’s tour. I truly had a wonderful time touring with you and your husband today. Especially for the DMZ tour, I sincerely appreciate your kind and thoughtful review. I hope we can meet again on your next visit to Korea. Thank you once again!

“Highlight of my trip”

My granddaughter and I had a lovely day with Charlie. He was accommodating, answered any question we posed, and it was interesting to learn about the history of Korea from him. Our visit to the DMZ was a highlight of my stay in Seoul (where I was visiting my granddaughter who is studying there). Charlie went out of his way to show us a suspension bridge up in the mountains. He even shared his candy and other snacks with us. A wonderful tour.

Thank you, Johanna, November 1st was the peak of the autumn weather, when large crowds gathered at Imjingak to visit DMZ. It was a bit of a bummer, but the tour with you was so enjoyable and happy. We climbed 275 steep steps to see the Gamaksan Mountain ridge and suspension bridge. Thank you for your passion for staying with me without giving up until the end. And thank you so much for leaving a wonderful review.
