Best Private Guide You Can Find - You can stop looking, Hun is the best private guide that you will find. He is beyond personable and went from being a guide to friend from the minute we met. His excellent reviews are real and well deserved.
I searched many different sites to find a private guide in Seoul and kept coming back to Awesome Tour.
Hun was very responsive to all of my questions. He was extremely flexible and had great ideas on how to accommodate every ones wishes. I explained that we would be traveling with elderly parents who move at a slower pace, he accounted for that in our itinerary and new the secret spots to park at to make access easier.
You can literally count on Hun to provide you with a complete itinerary and still accommodate any last minute ideas. He knew exactly where to go for the best food and when to visit. He has built up a vast network of friends and secret knowledge throughout Seoul that will save you a lot of time and ensure you get the best experience.
He is a history major who has a wealth of knowledge about so many subjects. There was never a dull moment in all of the days we spent with him. He could talk to and relate to anyone. You will never overspend as he thinks everything is too expensive and get you the best deals.
We will definitely use Hun the next time we visit Korea. Side note, he can help you out all around Korea, not just in Seoul.

Just book it! You won't regret it - Just book it! You won't regret it and if you don't - someone else will :) Top day with a great guide, great van and everything in between. We did it all and he thought we couldn't ha ha. You showed us Seoul day & night and were more like a good friend than a guide. You changed the plan if needed and fed us when we were hungry. I can only load 10 photo's or I would do more. We thank you & appreciate you from Rarotonga, Cook Islands :)

Great Tour! - Wonderful tour conducted by Sean! He was very pleasant, helpful and shared a lot of great information about the country and temples. Seeing the changes of the guard was a highlight! FYI, I did this tour solo and was thoroughly impressed and was at ease. There was no language barrier and he covered all the bases during our 8 hr tour. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Worth it - Had the best time with our tour guide, Han. He went above & beyond to make sure we get to see & experience our preferred sites from a local perspective. We only had a limited time in Seoul & this tour was perfect for us. Would highly recommend this tour!

Amazing experience!! Worth every penny! - Sean was AMAZING we loved his tour! Worth every penny! He communicated with us before our tour and introduced himself. We let him know that we were 3 women traveling from the United States, and it was our first time in Korea.
He tailored our tour to give us as many experiences in our time. We wanted to rent Hanboks and tour the palace. He was able to park right in front of the busy Hanbok store and get fast service for us. We were able to see the changing of the guard in time. He was attentive to our every need. My mother-in-law is 74, and walking long distances is difficult. He stayed with her, helped her with uneven walking paths and was so sweet.
He took us to a wonderful lunch and found parking right out front. His ability to park the car and minimize long walks was so helpful. He had all kinds of ways to maximize our time. We would never have been able to see the city without his help.
He brought us to the Bukchon Hanok Village, and it was full of people. He helped us see the neighborhood with the least amount of walking. He took us to a lovely tearoom and bought us each a tea and some traditional Korean desserts.
We walked through the Buddhist Jogyesa Temple. We saw beautiful lanterns everywhere and lit a prayer incense stick. Then we went to the Gwangjang Market. He explained all the traditional foods, and helped us sample lots of treats.
Throughout the day, it felt like we were VIPs, being driven to the best places, skipping lines and hassle. We never could’ve seen even half as much without Sean’s help. He was so kind. He knew so much about Korean culture and history, and explained everything perfectly. I couldn’t recommend him more!

Hun - fun, energetic, well versed, high recommended tour guide service 👍🏻 - Han is an experienced tour guide and well versed in English. My friends and I engaged 2 days of his service. Thank him for the smooth execution of our tour. He was like a friend to us even though it was our first met. Summarise, he is a good photographer, tour guide cum driver. Will engage him if we go to Seoul again.

Book this tour- you won't regret it, Sean was excellent! - Our family of four, two kids, had an excellent full day tour with Sean. We had just 3 nights in Seoul and wanted to make sure we got to see a lot of the big spots on one of the days, and this tour worked out perfectly. Sean and Han will work with you before the trip to customize it to exactly what you want to do- they have plenty of suggestions, but we skipped over one of the Shrines (having already seen a good amount by then on the trip) and instead wanted to go to Hongdae and shopping for skin care products. Sean picked us up at our hotel in a very nice van and during the day we visited: the Palace where we rented Hanbok's and watched the changing of the guard, then we ate a unique and tasty meal at a Michelin starred restaurant where we could walk to the traditional old-school village nearby, followed by the Tower where of course we had to add a love lock, then we visited a traditional food market where you could try the live octopus or beef tartar, then the Starfield Library in the mall and the Gangnam statue. We were exhausted by the end, but we had a fantastic day, and having our own car to dart around town was great and also gave the kids a few mins here and there to recoup/nap. I'd highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to have an awesome day. We flew back to California with very found memories of Seoul- we will be back!
