A great one day in Seoul!

5.00James did a great job showing us around Seoul even though we had the one day to do so. He picked us up at our hotel and drove us to an old marketplace, saw the blue house, and the changing of the royal guard at the main gate. Lunch was great - nice buffet. Nice day all around. Very flexible.

5.00We had a 9-hour layover in Seoul. Although our arrival (4am) and departure were not ideal, the tour company was able to customize the experience so that we could get the most out of our time! Our guide, Jayce, was on-time, knowledgeable, friendly, and put in extra effort to make our experience memorable!
Visit Seoul.

5.00Very good experience with Jake. Jake was waiting for us at the bottom of the boat. We were unlucky; the palaces were closed, but Jake found us other tours.
Great for a quick stop over

5.00Jayce was a fantastic guide. He picked us up at the airport with great communication before the trip. He drove us to the major sites we had time to see and was flexible with our additional requests. He got us back to the airport safely and with plenty of time to make our flight. I would absolutely hire Jayce again as a driver and guide!
Great Trip

5.00My family and I had a long layover in Incheon and so we decided to schedule a private tour. We got Sean and he was so accommodating for our family, as my mom has troubles walking long distances. He catered our tour to our comfort level. Highly reccomend!
Best layover ever!

5.00Jayce transformed our layover tour into a vacation highlight! The tour was well organized and hit perfect highlights of Seoul. Everything ran smoothly including easy pick up and drop off at the airport. Jayce adapted the tour to our interests and time frame. He is knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He shared fascinating history of Korea and answered all our questions but also did overload us with information and let us explore and learn! I appreciate his friendly manner and ability to adjust the schedule based on our preferences. His lunch suggestion was a highlight! After one day in Seoul, I’m inspired by the experience to return for a trip to Korea! Thank you, Jayce, for an extraordinary day!!
Jayce is very...
