What are people saying about Seoul

Alli_M, Apr 2026

I wasn’t sure what to...

I wasn’t sure what to expect but this tour was an amazing experience outside of the city. You get to see a whole other side of Korea, very peaceful and fun without the chaos of a huge city like Seoul. The whimsy of the Island of Nami was my favorite part and absolutely worth a trip!

Amazing time with Tiger

We had an amazing time with Tiger. He was the most passionate and knowledge full guide I’ve ever had. We could feel the passion he has for the history of Korea. He answered all questions with care. We had an amazing time. It is one of the best tour we’ve ever had. Thank you again and if ever we are back we will book again for sure.

A fantastic way to see...

A fantastic way to see several attractions outside of Seoul. Andrew was a fantastic guide, super organized and helpful. Although we booked this tour to see Nami Island, we ended up loving the other sites more! The cable car to the mountain, in particular, is not to be missed.

Day Trip to Nami Island with The Garden of Morning Calm

Liz_J, Apr 2026

Thank you

Korea’s natural beauty is absolutely breathtaking — from lush green mountains to the serene waterways around the Garden of Morning Calm and Nami Island, every view felt like a postcard come to life. Zip-lining into Nami Island was such a thrill, soaring over the river with the wind rushing past and the trees spreading out below. The speedboat ride added even more excitement — fast, fun, and unforgettable! Sampling all the different local snacks was another highlight — each one delicious and full of unique Korean flavors. A huge thank-you to our guide, June, for being so friendly, informative, and making the whole experience even more special. And special appreciation to our bus driver, who navigated the busy Saturday traffic with such care and patience. It was an incredible day — adventure, culture, and nature all perfectly combined!

DMZ alternative tour

We had booked a DMZ tour but found out a few days prior that the DMZ was closed due to a marathon event. We opted to do the “alternative tour” and we were not disappointed. Dora was a very fun and knowledgeable tour guide. She shared a lot of stories and information in a fun way, that both my parents and my children could enjoy! The alternative tour included the peace park with a gondola ride, a question and answer time with a North Korean Defector, and we ended the tour at the Odusan Unification Tower. My mom said this experience was the highlight of her trip to Korea. Thanks, Dora!

Suwon: Hwaseong Fortress/Folk Village/Starfield Library Tour

Krishna_M, Apr 2026

Great day of New and Old

We had an excellent tour to Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, made even better by our guide Philip. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history and significance of the site, but also brought a great sense of humour that kept the whole group engaged throughout the day. Philip did a fantastic job keeping everyone together and ensuring we stayed on schedule without ever feeling rushed. Everything ran smoothly, and we were able to fully enjoy each stop along the way. The highlights for us were the two cultural demonstrations, which were both fascinating and well-timed, as well as a visit to the stunning Starfield Library, which was an unexpected and memorable addition to the day. Highly recommend this tour—especially if you get Philip as your guide

The best tour experience capturing all the important sights!

Bella was amazing from VIP Travels. Her energy was so radiant that just lifted our mood! She was very patient, extremely knowledgeable, and so attentive to our group. There was a family traveling in our tour group with a toddler (21 months) alongside my parents who are seniors, and she provided all of us with the utmost care. This is my first time using viator and because of Bella, I am so excited to book my next tour.. hopefully she will be our tour again!!!

Ultimate Korea DMZ Tour from Seoul (JSA Museum & Bridge Crossing)

timothyreeves56, Apr 2026

Great Tour, But My Glutes Are Still Screaming

This was an excellent trip overall, and our guide, Gabby, was absolutely outstanding. However, I have some thoughts for anyone who isn’t a marathon runner or a morning person. The Suspension Bridge: I skipped this entirely. The tour leaves before 7:00 AM, and quite frankly, I preferred my pillow to a bridge. No regrets. The 3rd Tunnel: I’ve decided to rename this the "3rd Tunnel of Aggression." You trek down 300 meters only to crawl single-file for what feels like an eternity. At the end? You get a tiny window looking at a "botanical garden" and a piece of machinery that looks like it was designed to bring Frankenstein back to life. The Ascent: The climb back up that ramp is not for the faint of heart. Unless you’re looking for a near-death cardio experience, I’d suggest staying above ground. The tunnel takes about 45 minutes round-trip, which is time much better spent exploring the actual buildings and exhibits. All in all, it was a great day out—just maybe skip the underground hike unless you’re training for the Olympics!

Thomas was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgable, friendly and kept the tour upbeat and enjoyable. Activities on the tour were great and we learnt a lot about Korean history. Would highly recommend Thomas and this tour. More walking involved than we expected and some may struggle with the tunnel walk.

Seoul City Private Full-Day Tour Including Lunch

Miryam_C, Apr 2026

Excellent Day with Suni

We spent the day seeing the most interesting sights of Seoul which is an unremarkable start this review. What was amazing, as we drove around town and walked key sights, was the sheer volume of knowledge about Korean history and culture that Suni brought to bear, all of it delivered with aplomb. We were in such great hands...without question this was the best introduction to a new city that we've ever had. Even when the unexpected popped up, Suni didn't miss a beat and ensured that we were always comfortable. We were so grateful. Needless to say we recommend this tour and Suni in particular.
