Incheon Sea port or Air port pickup Seoul City tour

Touring Seoul with Stephano was a perfect pairing for our needs. We had a longer layover, about 12 hours. We were able to step away from the airport with Stephano leading the way. He picked us up in his very nice vehicle and took us to see the major sites of Seoul: Gyeongbokgung Palace, Korean Folk Museum, Jogyesa Temple, Dumpling Lunc,h and then Shopping. We ended the tour with a lovely drive around the city to see New Seoul vs. Old Seoul. Stephano provided details about history and new developments the entire way. He shares a deep pride of his country which is contagious as it is very beautiful, the people are kind, and the city is kept so clean and efficient.

Mr. Hong made our Seoul tour truly unforgettable! We visited a beautiful temple, a grand palace, and a folk village museum, but what set this experience apart was his kindness and dedication. As a Korean adoptee on my first trip to Korea, I casually mentioned my background. To my surprise, he immediately pulled over, made calls, and found my orphanage and adoption records. He even arranged a visit and translated, making this an incredibly special moment. He was punctual, communicative, and made everything seamless—from port pickup, storing our luggage, and dropping us at our hotel. We also loved the authentic meal and free time in a local market. This was more than just sightseeing—it was personal and meaningful. Highly recommend Mr. Hong for an exceptional experience!

I setup this tour with Hong (Stephano) because he was willing to be flexible and could accommodate us. He provided a great tour, and we learned a lot about Korean culture and history. We were a group of 7, and his vehicle could fit us all comfortably with some luggage. We setup the day tour because we had a long layover; Hong picked us up at the airport at 6am meeting us at the exit of customs. He then drove us to Seoul, toured us around Seoul, and got us back to the airport in time to catch an evening flight. This gave a our family the chance to experience some culture and heritage of Korea; while it was a brief visit it was more rewarding and productive than waiting in the airport. Hong is very knowledgeable about Korean and world history and provided fascinating insights and opinions, he is a very interesting person to talk with. We highly recommend him as a guide.

Stephano earned a 5 star rating as a most experienced and able guide to Seoul. He was also a great driver. He knew the best time to enter the palace to see the guards rehearse prior to crowds, he explained so many aspects of the palace, and made great use of the day exploring other sites. He gave us options to spend our time. He kept the pace comfortable, coffee and comfort stops were well timed. We saw so much of historic and ultra-modern Seoul in one memorable day, thanks to Stephano.
