5.00Stella was great! She’s very nice, personable and knowledgeable. I can see that she truly enjoyed introducing the Korean history and culture to visitors. Unlike other big tours, our group is small so lots of opportunities to ask questions and personalize the experiences. I love that she knew so many hidden nice spots. Definitely recommend her as a Seoul guide!

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Stella in Seoul. She took us around the palace and Insadong with so much warmth, knowledge, and enthusiasm. She explained the history and cultural significance of each place in such an engaging way, and we learned so much from her interesting insights and stories. What made the experience even more special was her kindness. She generously invited us for a gimbap lunch and introduced us to Korean food, which was such a thoughtful and memorable gesture. She was lovely throughout the tour, very welcoming, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. She also came with amazing recommendation for restaurant, cafés and spas. This was one of the highlights of our trip.
