After 2 1/2 weeks in Japan and China, our family was burning out on tours, but Pam gave us a great day and one of our best tours ever. She’s smart and personable and we enjoyed her insights and history lessons. She was patient with our questions and requests. She pulled together the perfect itinerary for our group and we genuinely enjoyed her company. The van and driver were great and lunch was delicious even for our picky teen son. We highly recommend this tour and hope we see Pam again.

Our family had a great tour with Pam. She promptly showed up to our hotel with a nice vehicle and driver. As a local, Pam knew great places to take us off the normal tourist track. She's bilingual (Korean / English), super fun, and we had a great exploring Seoul with her. You can confidently book a tour with Pam.

We took a private guided tour with Pam by car and we loved it so much because the whole day went by so fast. It was like hanging out with a friend that’s local to Korea as she shares tidbits of Seoul history and brings you to all the best tourist attractions. Her English is superb and she is very knowledgeable about Korean history and didn’t miss a beat answering any of our questions. Our driver Mr Kim was amazing too, super friendly, and so helpful with picking the best locations to drop us off and pick us up. I would give her 10 stars if I could!

Our family had a great layover tour of Seoul with Pam! We had a 9 hour layover at ICN, but our flight was delayed and weather caused a lot of traffic getting into Seoul. Despite that, Pam was waiting for us at the airport and still managed to plan the perfect day for us. We never felt rushed or that we missed out on anything we wanted to do. We visited the Palace, Buddhist temple, a traditional neighborhood, and a beauty store (for my teen daughter). We had a great lunch of bulgogi and the opportunity to try a myriad of new foods. So much fun. We even had enough time to pull up to an Apple Store so my husband could pick up a replacement part for his broken airpods. The van was very comfortable so we could rest in between two long flights. Completely worth it, so glad we fit it in and had a glimpse of this beautiful city.
