We asked for a tour of five UNESCO World Heritage sites around Seoul that were not included in the usual tour group routes. Kevin was able to create and execute a two day schedule that gave us the learning experience we wanted. Kevin paid a lot of attention to detail, and provided us with the information and history we needed to appreciate the sites. Logistically, the service was perfect, accommodating every detailed request.

Kevin shared fascinating historical and cultural facts about Namhansanseong. He was also warm, approachable, and open to questions. He was accommodating and shared alot about Korea which we would otherwise have not known.

As an UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Ganghwa Island is such a lovely and peaceful rural area.  The delicious seafood at the local seafood restaurant  was an extra treat.  Again, it was a great pleasure to have Kevin traveling with us for our second day trip.  Kevin gave an insight to the history and culture of the island.  He demonstrated a helpful and caring attitude with truly professional support.  Highly recommend him.

This was our second tour with Kevin in Seoul. Our memory of this wonderful place is through his eyes, his passion, devotion, responsibility and love for his country, his city, and the people. We have a good friend in Korea now, and would hope to come back soon, and see Kevin.
