The best one day tour of Seoul! - I had the most exceptional tour! I never would’ve imagined that the day could be so full of interesting sites, illuminating comments, and fabulous guiding. Harry, who drove and led the tour, was truly fantastic! His English is perfect, and he planned the day, which turned rainy, in an ideal way so that everything could be seen and enjoyed. Wookie, who is training to be a guide, was equally delightful to speak with, learn from and enjoy. I saw everything I anted to experience: from temples to palaces to artist studios to the food market. I could not possibly have enjoyed a better tour in Seoul and highly recommend Harry and this tour!

Awesome Korea Tour with Harry - We had an amazing tour with Harry guiding us thru Korean culture and history. We experienced so much in one day with Harry’s knowledge from eating food at restaurant to the market. We had so much fun during the tea ceremony. The temple and tower visits were spectacular with magnificent view with Harry helping us with the fast tickets! We also have the opportunity to rent Korean dresses and takes lots of photo at different attractions! It was our most memorable and fun tour in Korea!

Even in pouring rain, this was a great day! - It rained the entire day and on Tuesdays the main palace is closed so we were disappointed to miss it, but our wonderful guide Harry was an absolute champion - he made the day great, even though we were all drenched! Other than that, this tour was fabulous - the palaces and the secret garden, wearing a Hanbok for some great pictures, Harry recommended a great locals only barbecue restaurant for lunch and it was one of the best meals I had in Seoul and the tea ceremony was absolutely worth the add on price. enjoyed shopping in Insadong and learning more about Korean culture. thank you Harry for giving us such a wonderful day despite the heavy rain!!
