Denny was an amazing tour guide! His van was very comfortable and Denny navigated us through the busy streets of Seoul with ease. He was very patient with out requests and took my family of 6 back and forth throughout Seoul. He took us to a secret building top to take in the amazing views of Gyeongbokgung Palace. His lunch and cafe recommendations were excellent and my family enjoyed his knowledge and his company! I highly recommend Denny if you need a guide in Seoul!

The tour was great! Guide communicated pick-up time/place, arrived as expected, and was very efficient with the tight schedule that we had. He showed us the highlights, kept things moving, and filled out short time with lots of information and sights.

Deny took us on a custom tour out of Seoul. We had a great time at our destinations, and a great time getting to know Deny more and more about Korea during the extended travel time. This was our second tour with him!

Denny was a great guide. I wanted to visit the area in Korea where my dad served and he did research about what to see in Uijonbu. He was very knowledgeable and adapted the tour to our interests. I'd highly recommend him.

Denny is a humble, salt of the earth human being who is nothing short of amazing as a tour guide. We secured Denny for a day-long private tour of Seoul and we proposed an itinerary to him that was very ambitious. Not only did we complete every item on the itinerary but Denny added stops to our day that we had planned for the following day. At no time did we feel rushed. Denny is kind, efficient, and informative. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is the reason why you secure a local guide.

I booked Denny for 2 days based on the reviews. He did not disappoint. He reached out to confirm meeting time, was punctual, knowledgeable and very accommodative. I will book him again when I next visit Seoul.
