We'll meet at your Ship and visit all the great sights of Seoul or DMZ. Are you traveling on cruise? If so you will have a very short time to travel. What you can do is very limited within short time. So hiring private tour guide is the best way to enjoy your tour. Let's look at the brief characters of a city and then you can decide your destination(=choice). Seoul is boasting its "Harmony of tradition (1392~1910) and modernity". Paju is the evidence of the last "Cold War" with DMZ(DeMilitarized Zone). ♡ During DMZ tour, we have to join another group because the DMZ is military area. ♡ For DMZ, you have to have 7 ~ 8 hours from Pickup to Drop-off(or longer on peak-season. Please check with me). ♡ DMZ can be closed without notice, Because of security reason, fire, conflict, protection from virus or similar reason. Bring along all your passports. :)
Kevin is a kind, very informative and knowledgeable guide who understands the practical side of touring (where to drop off guests if necessary due to traffic conditions, park the car, and quickly rejoin the guests). It was great. Very accommodating as to needs and desires of the tour group. We would use Kevin again. He is a very happy and social person.
Kevin was excellent guide. On time, flexible with schedule, worked around traffic issues, knowledgeable , easy to understand.
Kevin gave us an amazing tour filled with interesting historical insights.
Our family of five had a great time. Kevin was timely, courteous, helpful, knowledgeable and had a great attitude. He listened to our questions and made our tour very enjoyable. We got to see many amazing things. Would recommend 100%!!!!
Kevin met us at the cruise port in his personal vehicle and took my family and I on a 10 hour tour of Soul where we got to see the whole city. He took us to a local Korean barbecue, where we got to experience authentic Korean cuisine and enjoyed it very much. Kevin was very open to making changes to our itinerary as the day went on and time permitted. We very much enjoyed spending the day with Kevin and would recommend booking the tour with him went in South Korea.
We had a lovely experience with Kevin. He picked us up promptly at the port for the long drive into Seoul. We first toured the Changdeokgung Palace complex. He explained what we were seeing and its importance. He planned our route in such a way that we were always one step ahead of the crowds :) We then visited Jogyesa, an important Buddhist Temple. Insadong Cultural Street was a wonderful area to browse. We had time to be there longer but we were getting hungry and tired. Kevin was totally responsive to what we wanted. He took us for a delicious lunch at Tosokchon Samgyetang where we had ginseng chicken soup. When we had difficulty understanding Kevin, he was able to reword his explanations so we could understand. He also took terrific pictures of us at scenic spots :) We had an excellent and memorable day with Kevin.
