A day in Seoul with BTS - What a great tour! Any day is a great day with BTS! From “Spring Day” Ilyong station to the new HYBE building we spanned the years with BTS.
Our guide Brian is amiable, flexible and knowledgeable. His english is excellent.
From their humble beginnings we travelled through time visiting where they ate, where they lived and where they filmed some of their most iconic MV’s. We had done this tour before but brought our granddaughter back to enjoy her day with BTS!
ARMY, do not hesitate. You will love this tour

BTS TOUR: A special day in Seoul! - This tour turned out to be the absolute highlight of our trip to Korea! Brian is THE BEST. He is cordial, comfortable and SO understanding of our needs and wants as true BTS ARMY. We are so grateful for having Brian as our guide.
The tour is well organized but flexible. We were treated to a visit to the “Il Yong” station (from the Spring Day MV) which is presently under renovation. We then visited the humble beginnings of where the boys practice dancing and ate at the pork restaurant at which the boys ate nearly daily. We then ate (included in the tour) a delicious spicy pork lunch.
As a special treat we even met the owner of the restaurant who fed the boys.. She was a delight. When asked who was her bias…. She shyly lifted up 7 fingers. All smiles and Korean hearts as we left her restaurant.
We then were a bit overwhelmed to visit the humble first dormitory and the old Big Hit building both just a short walk from the restaurant. It is so amazing to see from where the boys came. Humble beginnings with a dream to dominating the world music scene!
We then visited the Avenue of the Stars to take a picture with the BTS bear street side. We ended our tour at the Line store to enrich our collection of BT21 memorabilia.
Quite a day! Thank you Brian for being the perfect host. He taught us about BTS but also shared about subtle nuances of Korea, the language and the Korean culture.
We shared a great day, thank you Brian!

Dave is awesome! - We had a very nice time experiencing BB films Day trip. Our guide Dave is very nice, friendly, accommodating w some of special requests.We learned so much more about BTS history, epic and K- Pop stories. He is highly recommended! Never a dull moment with him even during traffic we had very good conversations in the car. Thank you, Dave! My daughter was over the moon happy!

Best tour I’ve been on (and I’ve gone on a lot of tours) - I had an EXTREMELY fun day on the tour today even if it was just my mum and I. The tour guides were so fun to talk to and I loved how I got to spend time at each location until I’ve taken in the sights, taken pictures and bought some merch if I wanted to. They even explained the different locations along the way and made sure that the picture matched the music video (tae at the station from spring day). I truly had a fun tour and I hope one day I can attend this tour with my friends again. This tour made my Korea trip super memorable and i will never forget how amazing it was. I’d give it 6 stars if I could. 11/10. The tour was just perfect. I got to see the run BTS filming location for one of the episodes, got to eat at the restaurant BTS used to eat at as rookies, went to the line store, went to iryeong station and k star road. We even drove on the bridge where BTS performed butter and passed by the Grammy performance building. Oh and I can’t forget hangang river :). It was a spectacular and well planed tour. I never knew I would be able to visit these places and I’m so happy I did. Hope to attend the tour again soon! >-<

A brilliant day out - Justin was our guide for this tour and he was wonderful! My friends and I have actually lived in Korea for a year and a half and we were not your average group of tour guidees.
However, despite this Justin did a fantastic job showing us areas of Seoul that we wouldn't have seen on our own, and was lovely to be around. He made alterations to the schedule to better fit what we were looking for, and was extremely kind and considerate. He did a really good job at making the tour a great experience for us and I really appreciate the kindness he showed us throughout the day. I cannot recommend him enough.
We started off by going to Iryeong station and taking lots of pictures there. Other highlights include Yujeong Restaurant and the old Big Hit Entertainment building, where we added a message to the huge amount of fan graffiti on the abandoned building. We then visited k-star road, all the figures for all the different groups were interesting to see. The highlight was being able to see the abandoned swimming pool in the same day, that really was a fantastic way to end the trip: surrounded the cherry blossoms in the Korean spring time while also enjoying taking pictures at the pool was a memory I wont forget.
We were also given a folder full of wonderful pictures that were taken throughout the day, and my friends and I had a great time looking through them afterwards. They were high quality and Justin was extremely professional in taking them and also sending them over to us so quickly.
I would highly recommend this tour, it is worth the money and I would recommend it for people who are looking to get a bit more of a personal approach to exploring that side of Seoul.

Answer: BTS Tour with Jay - Thank you so much to 재/Jay, our tour guide. He was so kind and welcoming from the start. My family and I had so much fun on this tour, even if I was the only ARMY. He let us decide how much time we wanted to dedicate to each destination, so we never felt pressured. I can’t believe I went on this tour of an ARMY’s dream! This tour is definitely the next best thing to actually seeing BTS 😆

It's an excellent tour!! - I went on the tour on October 25th, 2019 with my friends and it was an amazing experience. Our tour guide Brian was the best!! We started off going to the Iryeong station (where they filmed part of the spring day mv), then headed to the line friends store where bts created their characters, next was the cafe andgather where the boys created their own signature drinks during an episode of run, we stopped by yoojung sikdang and the min's cafe where the boys spent a lot of time at as trainees. We were also able to go to laundry pizza where they took pictures for their album love yourself: her. And we stopped by the old bighit building and kstar road to see their bear. In addition to all this, Brian took us to extra places not on the tour. Such as, the house of bts (their pop up shop during the speak yourself final concerts) and helped us get our personalized tmoney cards. He was very informative not only about bts but about korea in general and he shared a lot of interesting things about the country that we never knew. He also had clips prepared of bts at all the places we went to. I definitely recommend this tour for all armys and I highly recommend asking for Brian if you can. He truly helped us explore korea finding places we wouldn't have been able to on our own and helped us see bts. I'm truly grateful.
