We had an amazing day with Jay! He is knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. We felt that he struck a great balance between professional and personal. In the end, it felt like we spent the day with a new friend.

Jay is quite a pleasant guy with a great personality. He is very knowledgeable about Korean culture and history and also a good driver. We'll use him again if we come back.

A really excellent tour guided by Jay. He was incredibly flexible and understood what we wanted to do - we were a group of international professional ceramic artists that had been exhibiting in Seoul and wanted to visit Icheon for the day. One of our group knew a lot about the place and had Korean friends in the village that she wanted to introduce us to - nothing was too much for him and he is also very knowledgable about Korean history etc. It was a lovely day.
