Ho Jin, Jin Ho! (excellent in Hokkien)
christinaoI7151UI, 29-10-2022
Ho Jin was an amazing tour guide. Even though the meeting place was a little hard to find, he was willing to meet us where we were at. He was very friendly and made us feel comfortable throughout the tour. He brought us to see areas which we had not visited before like the other parts of Namdaemun Market, the stream, and the elevated walkway with many plants. He also brought us to the place in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace and showed us many places to eat. He was also kind enough to teach us how to use t-money and take public transport. Overall I rate him 10/10 for his patience and hospitality. Thank you, Ho Jin! (expect to walk a lot when with him)
5 Stars!

Fantastic way to start our Korea trip. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and tailored the tour based on our conversation. Could not recommend more! Get cash out before the tour of possible to tip the guide. We couldn't find a reputable ATM so we were unable to tip. We feel so much more confident in Korea now that we have had this amazing tour.
Local know-how! Highly recommended!

What a fabulous tour and experience! This was my first encounter with
withlocals and would highly recommend it to anyone. Jin was
knowledgeable in showing us around town and you could tell that he was
passionate about what he does. A great way to start off our first trip
to Seoul. Thank you so much for your information on a memorable and
worthwhile tour!
What an amazing experience :-)

We had a fabulous day in Seoul with Dan . His local knowledge , sense of humour and communication of facts about Korean life were excellent.
He gladly answered all my questions and went out of his way to be helpful. Dan made our day out in Seoul a wonderful experience!
