4 hour tour in Seoul - Yujeong was our guide. She was excellent! From the beginning to the end of our tour, she was energetic, knowledgeable and made things very comfortable for my two kids ages 11 and 9.

Enjoyable & Informative - Informative walking tour! Bonnie was the best! She gave us such insight into every aspect of the Gyeongbok Palace and Joseon Dynasty. Visiting on our own would not have provided this level of context. After, we walked to Bokchon Hanok Village where Bonnie took pictures of us. We clearly have the best photos from this day!
