We had an amazing day...
We had an amazing day visiting Mount Seorak and Naksansa Temple, and our guide, Byungok Han, made the experience truly exceptional. He was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about Korean history, culture, and local traditions. His explanations brought each destination to life and made the tour much more meaningful.

Patrick was a great...
Patrick was a great guide! He gave lots of good descriptions and was very helpful and knowledgeable. The weather wasn’t the best for seeing the mountains but the national park was still beautiful. Nami Island is pretty touristy but still cute. For us the highlight was the garden at the end of the day. Overall a great trip and I would definitely recommend.

Amazing experience!...
Amazing experience! Highly recommend for anyone interested in North Korea or modern Korean history if you have a half day to spend. Timing was convenient - was back in downtown Seoul by 2-3pm. Tour guide Katie was excellent - she was so energetic and made sure everyone was engaged and having a positive experience. She had so much to offer and you could tell she cared that all her guests enjoyed their experience and learned a lot from the tour. Made such a positive impact on the trip! The whole tour was fascinating - the actual viewing tower at the DMZ gives you sweeping views towards the city of Kaesong, farming villages, and military border posts in the DPRK. You really do get an incredible viewpoint into the country. One of the highlights was hearing from a defector - NK is often talked about in a very abstract way overseas, and hearing from someone who actually lived there and experienced it was fascinating and humanized the people who still live there today. The visit to the tunnel really showed how much this has been an active military combat zone for so many years. Stops along the way gave you an opportunity to buy NK souvenirs, such as money and stamps. One of the more emotional parts of the tour was seeing a memorial where North Korean defectors honor their families in the North and work towards unification. The tour covered a lot of ground, and was incredibly informative without bogging you down in too much detail. Bus was comfortable, and convenient to be picked up and dropped off in downtown Seoul. Highly recommend, and even better if you’re lucky enough to get Katie as a guide!

The Best tour guide.🌹🫰
Our guide KI did an excellent job. He speaks fluent English and ensured a smooth journey throughout our tour. He was also very helpful when my daughter accidentally left her phone in the cab before we started. We truly appreciate his patience and dedication. Will definetly book him if we have the chance the next time Im in Korea.🌹❣️

Want a fun evening with...
Want a fun evening with Chris exploring where the locals go for great food in Seoul. Eating live octopus for the first time was a cool experience although not everyone in the group tried it and the shave ice dessert was so good we went back the next night for more.

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.

Definitely book this
The three of us had a great time. The guides were fabulous and knowledgeable. It was a very fun tour covering history and snacks. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone. The e-bikes were easy to use and you stop often for snacks and photos.

Excellent tour and excellent guide, Sookhee
This tour and Sookhee and her driver were amazing! The small group tour was perfect for us. We got plenty of time at each stop and saw everything we wanted to see. Sookhee was so knowledgeable and was very helpful with answering all questions. I highly recommend!!
One thing to beware of is the physical aspects of the tour - going into the tunnel and going up to the suspension bridge is a little strenuous…but worth it!

Shawn was great! He...
Shawn was great! He definitely knew his Korean folklore. We visited several locations that were less creepy during the day so it was cool to see them at night (and a little unsettling). He has a knack for storytelling to keep the group engaged and knows when to reveal information!

Great tour, great tour guide
This was a great trip. Steve, the tour guide was great. He took us to all the points and let us have ample time for exploration. It was a long day, and it was fun and interesting. Steve went out of his way and dropped me at my hotel, which was not a scheduled drop off point.
I would highly recommend.
Thank you Steve

Great Introduction to Korean Cooking
This was a really enjoyable way to spend part of the day in Seoul. We began with a visit to a local market, where the chef introduced key ingredients and offered helpful insight into Korean food culture. Then we headed to the nearby cooking school to get started.
The class followed a fun, hands-on rhythm—we’d cook a dish or two, then sit down together to enjoy what we made before returning to the kitchen to cook more. The chef guided us clearly through each step, and the staff helped keep things running smoothly by finishing off dishes, clearing plates, and handling cleanup.
We left full and satisfied, with recipes in hand and a better appreciation for the ingredients and techniques behind Korean cuisine. A relaxed and well-run experience that’s definitely worth doing if you're looking to try something different during your time in Seoul!
