Reviews
Great overview of historic Seoul
Dustin_W, 26-11-2022
Great quick overview of the city’s historical sites. Excellent guide in English, and driver taking us to each site. Everyone was kind and personable, which led to a great experience. Our group has two other couples, so the experience was fairly personal and gave a chance to meet other travelers. Half day was perfect for us, getting the highlights and leaving us with the rest of our day to explore.
Very informative day

The friendliness of the group and tour guide. We were picked up from our hotel on time and dropped back off at a central location that we knew
Great introduction to korean culture and main sights!

Great korean city experience

This is recommended for people who has an interest of knowing korean culture. Need to wear comfy shoes... we went on this tour in springtime and we’re sweating. It could be hotter during summertime as there is a lot of walking inside the temples. Overall it was magnificent. Thanks to Jake our k-pop tour guide for entertaining us.
