Great way to spend a long layover. - Didn’t want to spend the entire 20 hour layover at the airport or hotel so found this private tour. Based on the other reviews I signed us up and was not disappointed. I asked and they worked with us to start earlier due to the departure time. Danny was our tour guide and he arrived right on time in a clean comfortable van. Danny made the trip! Showing us key sites accompanied by wonderful conversation. It felt like a friend was taking us around town. In the short time we had I would love to return but knowing if or when we will return it was so worth the cost to see a glimpse of the beautiful country.

Private Layover Tour in Seoul - We got picked up at Incheon Airport on time by our tour guide Moonhak Song. The 1 hr travel from the airport to Seoul was comfortable. Moon had surely gave us an insight of Seoul’s history and was a very good tour guide. The places that we visited was a delight. Although it was hot and humid, we enjoyed our time. I highly recommend to do a Private Layover Tour in Seoul if you have long layover at Incheon Airport.

Perfect for our 11 hour layover at Incheon. - Moonhat did a splendid job for us. We wanted to visit a few places off the normal tourist path and he customized our tour perfectly for our preferences. The drives to and from Seoul were informative and comfortable. Would recommend highly.

Great Layover day tour in Seoul - Mr. Song, our guide was a great guide for the day. My wife and I found him to be professional, courteous, intelligent and full of valuable information on Korea - it's history and culture. He was on time, responded to my inquiries promptly via What's App and has a large, clean, comfortable mini-van for transport. As an example of his service, I didn't realize that I had lost my selfie stick until I was unpacking in the US and he tracked it down to the restaurant we had lunch at and offered to mail it back. If you have a day long layover in Seoul, definitely worth getting Mr. Song to take you out to see the Palace, local markets and sample Korean food.

Seoul Day Tour - This was a great tour! We had a 10 hr layover at Incheon and this was a perfect way to spend the day. Moonhak was so knowledgeable and shared all sorts of information about the city and country. It was so nice to have a small group on the palace tour. He was able to individualize the itinerary to fit our needs and picked an excellent local spot for lunch. The vehicle was clean and we felt safe the whole time. Definitely recommend!!!

Highly recommend if you have a layover in South Korea. - Our guide Song was very professional, punctual and knowledgeable. We learned a lot of about Korean history and culture. He made great recommendations on where to shop and eat. We wish we had more time to explore more, and we will definitely return again. Highly recommend to do this private tour so you are on your schedule. We never felt rushed and returned back to the airport on time in order to rest before our next flight. Thank you for the great experience!
