This is an amazing day tour for cruise passengers. You get to experience city bustle, cultural/historic locations and sombre moments learning about the history of South Korea. This is because of a fantastic guide, Chris Park, who timed the day so efficiently, not wasting any of our time, and providing fabulous insight and commentary. This allowsd us to sneak in some shopping time. Thank you Chris.

    Kenneth_S, May 2026
    This was an excellent tour, well timed and very well led by Chris. Every stop was worthwhile but the highlight for us was visiting the beautifully maintained United Nations Memorial Gardens where we were privileged to watch the ceremony of raising the flag attended by senior military officers of several UN nations who defended democracy in the Korean War of the 1950s. We paid much less than the cost charged by our cruise company for an inferior tour!

Most of all, we are deeply moved to hear that you were able to witness the solemn flag-raising ceremony at the beautifully maintained United Nations Memorial Cemetery, alongside senior military officers from the UN nations that defended democracy during the Korean War. It was truly a privilege to host you during such a historic and touching moment. We will proudly pass along your beautiful praise and appreciation to Chris!

    Not the tour we paid for

    SusanDiekmann, May 2026
    Do not expect to see everything listed in the description. Buyer beware. We paid for a tour that should have included all the stops described, with the timing stated, but 3 stops were skipped over. Erika, our guide, said that she was in charge of the itinerary, so we believe it was simply up to her discretion whether we went to all of the locations. She repeatedly told us she would not block us on WhatsApp, so we shouldn’t block her. Not sure why that was so important to her, even at the end of the tour. We saw places where we could spend more money, but didn’t get to see other places just for their beauty and history. It’s was disappointing, to say the least.
