Our tour guide, Orota, was absolutely incredible! She was friendly, funny, kind, and very knowledgeable about the UNESCO heritage sites we visited. She even recommended a really good Korean cold noodle place for lunch and shared with us, her Korean culture about food and language and entertainment. Thanks Orota!

An excellent tour. Our tour guide Ms. Park was very organized, thorough, and informative. We learned so much about Korean culture from her and it all added to our tour.
It was an extremely hot and humid day and she was so thoughtful to help us tolerate the temperatures.
The lunch was delicious. Our driver was excellent.
It was great to see more towns outside of Seoul,

Jackie was the best guide! It felt like a real VIP experience. She was caring, informed, and helpful. A fair bit of walking was involved and it was a hot day, but she ensured and my 76yr old were well looked after. It’s also a stunning tour with some great secret touches.

The view is great and our tour guide Sam is very knowledgeable. He takes great photos too. The walk along the fortress is just right with a few rest stop to enjoy the view of Hwaseong Fortress. Enjoyed delicious food at a traditional Korean restaurant. Learned a lot at Jongmyo shrine and marvel at the Changdeokgung palace structure, design and painting.

We entered our hotel lobby early and three of them were already waiting for us--a driver, Jeanie our tour guide, and another lady who said little probably tour-guide-in-training. Good start.

And it turned out we were their only guests, so it was essentially a private tour.

Jeanie's English took some effort to understand/follow, but she was very patient with us.

At first we worried we had inadvertantly signed up for a duplicate tour of the previous day's sites, but she took us to a different, temporary, Palace, a Shrine, and a different Village--this one was an actual village where people lived, not where the government moved houses from different places to make a village of five houses. We saw an actual Fortress still active, where we walked part of the grounds, then rode a trolley around the rest of it. We attended a Martial Arts show with a crowd of locals. We visited the Palace Museum on the grounds of the Palace we had toured the previous day and learned about the history of Korean royalty.



Lunch was bibimbong--delicious!



Best thing: no mandatory factory tours!

We've had this tour on feb 04: cold weather but fine and memorable day however, thanks to Jong as she was a nice and knowledgeable guide, telling us about Korean history and dynasties as well as rites and habits.

We were on a three days stop in Korea en route to Fiji and Wallis Island from Paris.



My wife ans I much enjoyed being on a private tour indeed. We could appreciate Hwaseong fortress and Haenggung Palace in the morning even although we had to pay attention to frozen soil in some places. We had the chance to watch a performance led by students in Joseon martial suits as we were on Saturday.

Back to Seoul we could taste the most delightful bibimbap in our short journey to Korea, in a restaurant actually located just in front of our hotel, just in time to feel warmer and strenghtened before the afternoon sites: Bukchon Hanok village then the magnificent Changdeokgung Palace and Jongmyo Shrine.

When Chung left us in Insa-Dong we still could talk with some students in that street and also with people demonstrating every Saturday in Myeong-Dong area.



We highly recommend this day-tour and warmly acknowledge Jong. We now wish to learn more about culture of lovely and engaging South Korea.
