I would 100% recommend it. - It was the first time in my life that I really enjoyed wearing Korean clothes. I highly recommend it. The history of james is very easy to understand and interesting. jacob was also very good at photography and taught me how to pose. Also, I will ask you again when I go to Korea. I recommend it.

Our Korean Winter - For a first timer in South Korea, we think it's really best to do this activity first so you'll have an idea of the country's history aside from their Kpop and Kdramas... its interesting really! And the Hanbok Photoshoot is a plus plus factor you shouldnt miss regardless of the season, before you use up all your energy from the other tours. (teeth) It was winter when we did it and the palace is still remarkable. No doubt this is one of the tourist spots you should check out. We appreciate South Korea's culture more after this and we are happy we did it with James and Jacob. We really appreciate their professionalism and dedication to this tour. It was really really cold like -8 to -10 but they took care of us, attended to our needs and made sure we are okay. We are freezing cold but thanks to them as we still had fun and enjoyed every bit of our photoshoot. James is sooo accommodating and friendly. He really knows what he's saying. (smiley) And we're really fluttered with Jacob's shots, really felt the Korean vibes, feels like we're in a Kdrama too. Big shoutout to Daehan Hanbok for the beautiful Hanbok and hairstyling. There are a lot to chose from and they help you chose which ones best suits you. (smiley) With the overall experience, we say it's worth it even if it's kinda pricey. If asked, we still want to do another round of photoshoot but with a different season. (teeth) This is highly recommended! Tiis ganda but super thank you for this experience! Kudos to James and Jacob! Til the next! 😃

Fun & Informative Seoul historical tour - I highly recommend this tour for anybody who is visiting Seoul for the first time, or have never heard about the Gyeongbokgung Palace in detail. James & Jacob were so great as tour guide and photographer, and the hanbok they chose is great too. Jacob spent a lot of time looking for places to take photographs based on the weather, and I had so much fun playing dress up in the hanbok. James and Jacob answered so many of my random questions since it was my first time in Seoul. Highly recommend!

Hangbok experience - It was a fun and educational experience. The guide was understanding with us moving our appointment. Such a great experience and great pictures as well. The guide was funny and made me and my friends laugh countless times. English was spot on. Would recommend no matter the season the area is great.

The best photoshoot in my life! - It was the most comfortable and enjoyable photo excursion I've ever had! First, James recommended me a place to rent a Hanbok in, then he met me there and accompanied to the Gyeongbokgung Palace. He told me a lot of exciting historical facts and always showed me the best poses and places for my photos. The result you can see yourself - I feel like korean princess *-* It was snowy and cold outside, so James kindly offered me to take a break and took me to a cafe nearby to warm up. He knew answer to every of my questions about Korea, was funny and polite It's rare when you meet a person that knowledgeable and careful and at the same time that passionate about his work. This excursion is a MUST! I recommend it to everybody, you won't regret it guys!

A Timeless Experience - I was absolutely thrilled to book this experience! My appreciation for the rich history and vibrant culture of Korea, combined with my passion for historical dramas, truly fueled my excitement. James and Jacob were exceptional guides; their extensive knowledge and enthusiasm for Gyeongbokgung Palace really brought the history to life. They went above and beyond to create an immersive journey, sharing captivating stories and insights that made each moment unforgettable. Every aspect of the trip exceeded my expectations, from dressing up in beautiful hanboks to watching the Royal Guards up close to exploring the palaces to the museum. Thank you!
