Unforgettable Seoul Tour – Stunning Hanboks, Authentic Tea Ceremony & Expert Guide Jones! A Must-Do Cultural Experience! - I had the most incredible experience on the Small Group Seoul Highlight Tour with Hanbok & Tea Ceremony, and I can’t recommend it enough! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, immersive, and absolutely magical. A huge shoutout to our guide Jones, who was nothing short of amazing. His knowledge of Seoul’s history and culture made every stop so much more meaningful, and his friendly personality kept the group engaged and entertained throughout the tour. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time, patiently answering all our questions and making sure we got the best photos in our beautiful hanboks. Wearing a hanbok while exploring the stunning palaces made me feel like I had stepped back in time, and the tea ceremony was such a peaceful and authentic experience - an absolute highlight of the day! This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Seoul. It’s the perfect blend of history, culture, and fun, and having an incredible guide like Jones made it even more unforgettable. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Great tour guide - Wookie is one of the best tour guides I’ve had in over 50 countries of traveling. His attention to details and knowledge of the city made him the perfect person for the Job. If I come back will definitely book another tour with him. He is a great person, made me like Korea even more.

Our memorable visit to Seoul - Our trip to Seoul was memorable because of our amazing guide Sophia. She made sure we covered all the sights on time and with no rush. She had the whole day planned accordingly . We were able to rent Hanbok, walk the Palace and see the changing of the guards. She took some great pictures of us. We lucked out with that too! Her knowledge of Korean history and culture was very informative. She took us to the markets and made sure we enjoyed the local food ( making accommodations to my vegetarian diet). She is funny and personable and kept my daughter entertained. I would strongly recommend this tour with Sophia as your guide!

A Great Way to See Seoul - This was a great tour! Our guide picked us up promptly and we were with a family of four. The information given was fantastic and we had a lot of flexibility in terms of how much time we wanted to spend in the various locations. It is an excellent way to see the city as an overview or if you've been before and want more history. I highly recommend this tour!

Great Tour - This tour was great! It was very informative with lots of exposure to the Korean culture. Our tour guide (Jones) was very kind, professional, and knowledgeable about Korean history. My most memorable parts of the tour were the temple and changing of the guards, the tea ceremony, and the cable car experience. I recommend this tour if you’re in Seoul
