Great Tour
Geoffrey L, 20-12-2022
This was a walking tour of Seoul Central District. Arnaud was our tour guide as was simply wonderful. He is a university student studying languages and is originally from France. As one would expect, his English is excellent. He met us at our hotel and we were off. We specifically asked for a cultural walking tour and even though it was cold (sub-zero), the day was sunny and bright. He took us to the palace, bukchon village, Insadong, inksandong, gwangjang market, DDP and walked along the wall above hyehwa. We even strolled along cheonggyecheon river. It was fabulous. Arnaud is funny, knowledgable and accommodating. This is a wonderful tour and is 5-star all the way.
Great introduction to Seoul

This was a perfect way to start my Seoul vacation. My guide Stephanie was very friendly and offered amazing suggestions for the rest of my stay. My only regret is that I didn't choose the longer time option.

Had a great day traveling around the city and learning about culture, food and history. Jiwan is easy to communicate with friendly and open and I am happy I got him to show me the city.
Highlights of Seoul -- Amazing Tour!

My tour with Giwon was amazing! I only had one day in Seoul, and she managed to fit in many of the things I wanted to see in the half day tour. She built the itinerary around my interests and provided the schedule well in advance, asking for any adjustments (though I didn't make any). I would recommend this tour for anyone that only has a short time in Seoul or would like an introduction to the city.

Giwon is super friendly and easy to communicate with. She helps us to learn about the culture in a very short period of time, which is great~ Just tell her what you want to see and visit, she will organize accordingly. Will recommend !
