Make this your first tour in Seoul!
Steve_B, Mar 2024
Andrew was such a wonderful guide that brought the city to life for us! He's super knowledgeable and provided many historic insights during our tour. I would highly recommend this tour to any newcomers to Seoul. It was a great introduction to and gave us a solid foundation to explore the city further on following days.
Response from Host, Mar 2024

Andrew was so much fun! He gave us lots of information about the area as we travelled . He was very cheerful and showed us some of the more exotic food options than we would have tried on our own. We all tried everything and left very satisfied. Dessert at a tea house rounded off a perfect day. Thank you, Andrew!!
Foody night on the town.

Despite extremely hot and sticky evening I had a good time. Visited a few street vendors and tried some Korean specialties. Food was delicious and the company was delightful. I highly recommend van as a guide for food and night on the town.
Look for other options.

The Turist guide was a very nice and attentive person, we liked her a lot. However for the price I would not recommend it, as the majority is probably kept by Viator (trip Advisor). We had a second private tour next day that lasted two times more and included a dedicated car for the same price. We also eat delicious local food. Look for other options.
Interesting and fun time

Ben was an interesting and entertaining tour guide. He helped me try the foods that I requested (galbijjim and kalgusku) but in a traditional neighborhood far away from the tourists, which was wonderful. I had a great time walking around the night markets and trying medicinal tea with him while discussing Korean culture and traditional family dynamics.
