One great day in Seoul, left me wanting more! - My day with Jun was amazing. It was the perfect one-day introduction to Seoul. The best thing was seeing the city and country through the eyes of someone who really cared about his culture and both spoke and listened in a way that really illuminated my experience and taught me a lot. Thanks Jun!

Best Tour Guide Ever - Wendy was an excellent tour guide. Gave us a detailed but not boring summary of the history of Korea. Wearing the traditional Hanbok let us capture the Korean essence and heritage. Wendy is incredibly knowledgeable and is able to create an incredibly well-planned experience and can be flexible. She is able to give the perfect insight into Korean culture and history with a balance of fun. No topic is off limits for discussion, and she is a great listener. I would recommend Sang Mi to my family and friends who will visit Korea.

Best City Tour in Korea - Our tour guide Julie Parks was such a pleasant and sweet person. She was on time and guided us to navigate through with the Hanbok costume part and Palace Tour. We really enjoyed dressing up in the Korean Hanbok dresses and wandering through the Palace. We also went to see old Korean Homes and enjoy the architectural homes, stopped at Isadong to watch pastries being hand made, rode the cable car to the Seoul Tower watched a cultural sword performance and drum music. Best part of this tour was The lunch place that Julie brought us to the best restaurant in Seoul.

We enjoyed our trip very much - We only had a half day available but wanted to see Seoul.  The main palace, We were supposed to visit was closed on tuesday.  We were a bit disappointed that We were not able to see the museum and the changing of the guard ceremony at the palace.  but then our guide Wendy made an alternative tour which was even much better!!  She took us to the traditional village and the second palace which was registered in UNESCO.  The temple was really beautiful with all the colorful lanterns. We really enjoyed our trip even though it was a short time... Thanks again...
