Seoul staples in one day. Perfect layover! - We had a 12 hours layover until our flight to Minneapolis from Seoul so we decided to purchase this tour. And we are so glad we did! Our tour guide, Song, was amazing! Great communication from the start, he reached out to us via WhatsApp to confirm the meeting point. His car was comfortable and roomy. Our tour was customized based on the time we had and how busy places were. We saw beautiful Gyeonghuigung Palace, toured Korean markets, walked through a historic district with traditional homes, ate mouthwatering Korean bbq, learned about the culture. Song was so accommodating, took some pictures for us, gave us some
Ideas on what souvenirs to buy and told us about the country. This tour absolutely worth it and we highly recommend it!

Wonderful tour of Seoul - We had a wonderful time on this tour. Song, our guide/driver was very prompt in picking us up from Incheon airport. His van was clean and he gave us bottled water. His knowledge of the history of the important landmarks was amazing. He also took us to shopping areas and a restaurant where we had a delicious lunch. He was very accommodating, courteous and a good driver. He took us to a private place where we could don hanbok for photos as we did not have time for it at the palace or at bukchon village. Although it was a short window to explore, we learned so much about the history and culture. Seoul is beautiful and clean, will plan to return and spend more time exploring the place and other parts of the country. Song is an amazing guide, a very kind person, and his service was excellent!

Great use of time during a long layover - Our group of four were scheduled to disembark the cruise ship at 8:.30 am and not scheduled to fly out of Seoul until 5:30 pm leaving us essentially a 7-10 hour layover with
no plans other than to somehow get to the airport 3 hours before departure.
Therefore the transfer to the airport combined with an excellent 7 hour tour of seoul by our guide, Moonhak Song, proved to be a very appropriate and effective use of time. We found Song to be an especially pleasant and accommodating option , taking us to the Gyeongbokgung Palace and the Namsangol Hanok Village.
His recommendation for lunch of an authentic Korean BBQ was greatly appreciated and enjoyed, especially when he became the chef and demonstrated how the Koreans cook and eat at the BBQ restaurant.
This tour was an excellent use of our layover time, made even more pleasurable thanks to our guide, Song, being an efficient driver, educated guide and excellent chef. Thanks to Song!

Great layover tour - Moonhak was an excellent guide. We happened to book on a Korean holiday (less traffic but more crowds) and he adjusted the tour to maximize our time in each place.

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.
