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.

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.

DMZ tour from Seoul; North Korean Defector Meet up & 3rd Tunnel

Derek_M, May 2026

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!

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!

Master Korean Cuisine with a Kimchi Ambassador

Deborah_H, Jul 2025

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!
