Great tour, Ho Jin (Jimmy) was outstanding! Many thanks! Great English, very knowledgeable and fun to be with.

Great walking tour

We had a great experience w/ Ho Jin. He was very knowledgable and was never rushed. He also accommodated a couple add'l requests to visit k-drama filming sites as well. Along w/ the major sites such as Gyeongbokgung Palace, Gwangjang Market, and Bukchon Hanok Village, he took us through a couple other very quaint and interesting neighborhoods. Highly recommended and will reach out to again next time we're back.

Must do for solo traveller

This was such a good experience. Got to see the Palace and learn the history, a lot of walking in beautiful areas. Sanghee was so kind, helped me to get a T-money card and catch the bus and then we had the best dumplings of my life ❤️ If you are an anxious person like me I highly recommend this tour and Sanghee as a guide!!
