First time in Seoul - Our guide Sean was great. He was knowledgeable, friendly and fluent in English. We did 6 stops of major first time tourist attractions and asked him to take us to an authentic Korean bbq for lunch. He show us how to make a Korean bbq taco and went over all the food selections. We had a wonderful time. The minivan was new, clean and comfortable.

The insider that you always needed - We had traveled to Korea on multiple occasions but never had gone on a tour. Fortunately, we got one of the best tour guides you could have. Han connected with everyone in our family from our youngest, special needs child all the way to our oldest post college grad. He had our attention and informed and entertained us throughout the tour.
We enjoyed walking through the Gyeongbokgung palace and learning all its history. We saw a glimpse of the recent past at Bukchon Hanok village. Namsan tower allowed us to relieve some classic K drama scenes. Then, Gwangjang market was the place that filled our stomachs with some of the coolest foods and snacks. Anything from crispy doughnuts, sugar glazed fruits, Korean hotteok, to fresh out of the water octopus. Incredible.
The best part was he knows everyone at every tour site. This made a huge difference. It was like having a Disney insider that gets you special parking spots, gets you to the front of the line, special treats and discounts.
This was one of the best tours we’ve ever been on with one of the best tour guides you’ll ever have. We cant wait to go back for another tour.

Layover tour to remember! - I had a blast with Hun on my layover tour!! He knew the best places to take me for site seeing, eating and shopping. Many people know Hun so he gets you a front-stage pass to quickly get around the city. My tour was the same week as the martial law rule and I felt 100% safe and it had no impacts on my site seeing. Now I want to go back for longer. Highly recommended!

Wonderful time in Seoul with Awesome Tour - We had a great time with Hun. He picked us up at iCN airport as our plane was 3 hours late instead of the hotel. That was a time saver! Our trip was to go to Seoul, which we visited many sites. It was an actual all day excursion. I highly recommend to book this excursion with Hun as he is very knowledgeable about all the sights that we. visited. We had a great time! thanks Hun!

Too little time, so much to see. - This was a great tour for us. We flew into Incheon, South Korea and arrived at 5:30 am. We had to be at the Cruise Port at 1:00pm. I knew we didn't have much time, but we wanted to see a little bit of Seoul. Han was great. He picked us up and took us to the Jogyesa Temple, Gyeongbokgung Palace, and Gwangjang Market. My granddaughter had seen a program about a shop that sold noodles there. Han knew the owner and got us a seat right away. Yummy noodles! Han seemed to know someone at every stop. He also knew a lot of the history and interesting facts. He was able to answer all of our questions. He was friendly and happy. We only had about 6 hours, but Han made sure we saw the highlights. I wish we had more time. If we ever go back, we will definitely have another tour from Han. 10 stars for this tour guide!

Leave it to Han! - My family and I just came back from an epic week trip to Seoul. My friend referred me to Han and we booked him for a full day tour for 12 people - ranging from grandparents to a 2 year old. He secured a very nice comfortable large van for us since there were so many in our group. Han was amazing from beginning to end. He was so knowledgeable and could engage our kids (9-13 year olds). They learned a lot and was so patient with the kids. It was incredibly comforting to have the day planned and not have to think about anything. As a mom this was a huge weight off my shoulders. It was a very long day but he was so understanding whenever kids needed a snack break. It was also so nice that he had so many connections wherever we went. I highly recommend booking Han and then leave the rest to him. You won’t regret it.

Amazing City Fantastic Guide - Hin was amazing. He contacted us prior to the tour and was also very flexible. It was so easy to change the itinerary (replacing one tourist spot with another). He was also engaging with all of 7 of us including the two teen girls. He took us to the noodle stall in Gwangjang Market that was featured in Netflix. A pleasant surprise. We wanted to see a traditional Korean village so we arranged the schedule so we incorporate Bukchon Hanok Village. He was also talking about the different locations explaining about the history and when they were built. For the adults, the highlight was the ginseng chicken lunch, we never expected it to be so GOOD! Hun, we hope to see again in our next trip to Korea!

Put your layover to good use with this tour! - I had an amazing experience on my layover tour in South Korea! From start to finish, my guide Minjee was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and informative. She made me feel right at home and helped me make the most of my limited time in the city. Not only did she take great pics of me, but she also shared fascinating historical details about every place we visited. I got to see and learn so much in a short amount of time, and the whole experience was fun and enriching. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore South Korea during a layover – it was truly unforgettable!
