5.00This was a very great tour! The host Jessica was amazing and very entertaining, interactive, and friendly! I definitely recommend it if you want an unfiltered perspective of South Korea besides kbeauty, kpop and kdramas. I now am grateful for having this perspective and has changed my outlook on South Korea I would recommend it solo or a group!

5.00Tour guide Jessica gave with good humour a frank assessment of the pressures on the youth and every else in modern Seoul society as we meandered through the Gangnam streets of fashion stores, beauty clinics and hagwon. Despite it all there good reasons to stay!
A must in your Seoul Trip

5.00This was the highlight of my Seoul trip — and I almost didn't book it. June built the tour as a story with five stops and one devastating through-line: how does one of the world's wealthiest societies end up this unhappy? From Gangnam Station to the love hotel district, the cram school, the plastic surgery streets of Sinsa-dong, and finally the Han River — each stop added a layer. By the end, everything clicked. June is an exceptional guide. Honest, sharp, unscripted. He made me feel like I was getting the version of Seoul that most visitors never see. Navigating these streets will never be the same after this tour. If you want to understand Seoul — not just see it — this is the one.
