An Amazing Once In A Lifetime Experience - Jung was an amazing tour guide who provided a lot of rather deep history but also made some jokes, keeping a good balance of you on your toes of what you were set to experience within the Blue House. This was the first tour me and my dad did on our trip to Seoul and we both absolutely loved the experience! Make sure you get the chance to take Jung’s tour of the Blue House, you will love it!

A unique experience and worth it as it could possibly be no longer around! - Awesome Tour, Jung spoke fluent English and responded to everyone's questions. The tour was on a hot day and Jung provided us water, which was a nice touch!

Great experience - Jung is a wonderful tour guide. He took time to engage with everyone on the tour. He takes excellent pictures and had great insights that only a professional tour guide would know. For example, the best place to take a picture in front of the presidential podium isn’t the podium in the blue house…it’s somewhere else on the grounds. Even my Korean sister-in-law, who lives in Seoul, had rave reviews. There is a fair amount of walking involved but Jung brought water bottles and told us where we could refill them.

Wonderful experience - Jung was amazing from the time of booking (a few months prior to tour) all the way to the hour after the tour. He responds to all the questions you may have before, checks in with you during, and makes sure you are okay afterwards. This is a walking tour, so as long as you are able to walk, you will be fine. There are some uphills, some stairs, but it’s not hard especially when you are in conversation with Jung or other members in the tour. The small group makes it easy to get to know each other just a little bit more. There were some older people like my parents, and some late teens like my kids. There were a total of 10 people joining in. I really enjoyed the history lesson, the interactive guessing games related to Korea, and the overall atmosphere of the tour. I would definitely recommend this tour. Even if I could get in to the Blue House on my own, there is no price I can put on the information shared with us. Very engaging and well worth every cent! Thank you for offering this tour and thank you Jung!

Tour that's worthy of 5 stars - Don't hesitate to book this tour with Jung! He is communicative before your tour so you know where and when to meet. Jung is very friendly and checks in with you often to make sure you are getting what you want out of the tour. He does a great job navigating you through the interesting parts of the Blue House and also provide information about some of the social aspects of living in Korea. He comes prepared with an iPad with pictures to illustrate harder to see details of the house. Before this tour, I honestly didn't know if the Blue House was worth a visit, but Jung made it a worthwhile experience.
