Solid Day Tour - I enjoyed the cultural and historical experience. We saw the palace, Buddhist temple, and the changing of the guard. It was a beautiful day so walking through the floral exhibit at the temple and witnessing the changing of the guard was perfect!

A great, expansive tour of Seoul in one day - I can't believe how many great things we saw in one day. BK was a great, easy to follow guide through so many amazing places. Jogyesa temple was my favorite spot on the tour, and you should explore as much of it as you can.

BK the tour guide is a true professional not only he answer all our queries, he also explained historical and significant facts about buildings and way of life in South Korea. His tour is highly recommended when you are in Seoul.

Terrific whirlwind tour of the Seoul highlights - First: CHARLES! He was a terrific guide! He made the tour endlessly fascinating and very entertaining. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share and he’s friendly, energetic and engaging. Almost all of the stops were very interesting and timed very well, not there too long or too short. Lunch was very tasty too. I only had 12 hours in Seoul and spent 8 of them on this tour. Wouldn’t have done it any other way. Only miss: ginseng museum stop. It felt like a pop up ad, clearly meant to get us to buy ginseng from them. I would just skip this stop and take a break. Charles offered breaks throughout and was very flexible. Overall, I would say 9/10.

Great Seoul Tour - The entire tour was very enjoyable. This tour is perfect to see key sights of Seoul. Our tour guide, Sebom “Spring” Kim, was very knowledgeable on Korean history and made the tour interesting. Watching the Changing of the Guard ceremony at the palace was impressive as well as seeing the vastness of Seoul from Mt. Namsan.
