Our guide, Jay, was a joy to be with! He was knowledgeable, funny, courteous and full of personality. We shared a wonderful evening with him seeing the sights of Seoul and learning about the city's history. I highly recommend Jay and would book him again if I returned to Seoul.

Jay was an excellent guide. His English is excellent and he knows every place you might want to explore. There was always a parking space for him near the attractions. You can trust Jay to provide a good experience.

Booking a private tour from Busan through less touristy areas was a game changer! We could relax and see areas that were off the beaten path. To us this made the cost worthwhile especially after visiting high tourist zone areas where you can’t really enjoy the experience as much. Support with food dietary challenges was also a plus when travelling in a foreign country...
