Joe was absolutely incredible—truly one of the highlights of our experience! He was so kind, warm, and genuinely thoughtful from start to finish. He was even waiting for us at the cruise terminal 15 minutes early, which immediately set the tone for how reliable and professional he is. Not only did he make us feel completely comfortable, but he went above and beyond by teaching us some Korean phrases, which made the trip even more fun and meaningful. I’ve always dreamed of going Korean skincare shopping, and Joe made that dream come true by taking us to the perfect spot. He didn’t just drop us off—he walked us over and made sure we knew exactly where to go, which we appreciated so much. Seoul is such a beautiful city with so much to offer, and Joe helped us experience it in the best way. We only wish we had more time! Highly, highly recommend—he made our trip unforgettable.

We had a really great day in Seoul. Mr. Kim was an excellent, knowledgeable and attentive driver guide. He provided a lot of interesting Information on all places we visited. We enjoyed our private layover daytour from Incheon port very much. Highly recommended!

We had Nohill as our guide into Seoul from the Incheon cruise terminal. He was very easy to respond to through WhatsApp before our cruise and was waiting on us as we disembarked from our ship. The traffic was bad going into Seoul so really appreciated a nice van to ride in comfort. I had explained to Nohill that my husband's foot was bothering him so he was able to adjust our schedule for the day. We went to Bugak Palgakjeong which was a great lookout over the city. We then headed to National Museum of Korean Contemporary History where we were able to go to the top floor to overlook the Gyeongbokgung Palace and Nohill explained the Palace and the surroundings. Afterwards it was time for lunch so I had asked if we could have Korean BBQ which we did and it was great. The owner explained to us how to eat the meal with all of the side dishes. We then had time to walk around Insa-dong Culture Street and visit Jogyesa Temple. Before heading back to the port we stopped to see Jungnim-dong Yakhyeon Catholic Church which which was nice and stood out from it's surroundings. Overall I highly recommend this tour and Nohill and loved that it was a private tour so we could arrange our sight seeing places due to my husband not being able to walk much.

Michael, our guide, was most pleasant and informative. He provided little details about each site visited which made us appreciate the places visited even more than we would have from merely receiving an overall impression. In that regard his knowledge was thorough and impressive. He made our visit of Seoul a completely satisfying experience. To crown the day, Michael guided us to a truly enjoyable lunch at a restaurant which was both authentic popular.
Response from Host, Apr 2026

It’s wonderful to know your day in Seoul felt so complete, including the authentic lunch experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again!
We had a private tour with Nohill Park. He picked us up at the cruise port in Incheon for our tour. We found out the day before that the K-Pop band BTS would be performing a free concert in downtown Seoul and that things would be extremely congested and areas closed. Nohill planned our itinerary for the day to avoid all of this. We had a great day and would recommend Nohill as your driver.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your lovely feedback :) We’re happy to hear Nohil made your private tour comfortable and well organized despite the busy conditions. It means a lot to us that you had a good experience. We hope to see you again!
It was a good way to see Seoul and have a nice way to see it on your own time our driver was very nice and informative with allowing us see Seoul and ask questions

Even during a layover, we always try our best to help guests discover the highlights of the city. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in Korea :)
Our very friendly guide Michelle made the tour very jnteresting. She was able to provide a lot of historical information about Seoul and South Korea. The drive into Seoul from the Incheon cruise terminal is close to 1.5 hours but Michelle provided lots of information and facts during the drive. The food at the restaurant was very good and Michelle assisted with how to eat it “properly”! The tour is very good for a short stopover.

Dennis has a lot of historical information that was of great interest to us. He knows all the best places to eat and shop and he was very responsive when we changed our itinerary on him. A friendly and professional with a superbly comfortable large car for the 3 of us!

My family and I toured Seoul with Dennis. We arrived via Regent SS Explorer and were picked up at the port. Dennis was great! Spoke English well, is very well informed and was attentive to our needs. We had the best time discovering and touring Seoul. Had time for lunch and a little shopping as well.

April was the most amazing guide we have ever had. This was the best private tour we have ever had. We loved hearing the history while viewing the sites.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled that April made your private tour so memorable and enjoyable. It’s fantastic to hear that her knowledge and storytelling enhanced your experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation! 🌟
We had an excellent experience with this guided tour in Seoul. Our guide met us right at the cruise terminal and provided seamless, safe transportation into the city and around all of the highlights we wanted to see. He was very flexible with the itinerary, making sure we could spend more time at the spots that interested us most, and when it came time for lunch, he recommended an excellent restaurant that matched our group’s tastes perfectly.
What really stood out was his flexibility and patience—when we decided to extend our day in Seoul beyond the original plan, he adjusted without any issue and waited for us so we could truly enjoy the experience. Communication before and during the trip was clear and easy, and the entire day felt smooth and stress-free.
The car was comfortable, the driving was safe, and his English was excellent. More importantly, he was a sincere and honest person who genuinely cared that we had a great day. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. This was a top-quality, trustworthy tour experience, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality single-day shore excursion when arriving via cruise.

Great way to see Seoul! The drive to and from eats up alot of the time, but still worth it. Still alot of time to explore.

The day in Seoul was spectacular. Our guide April was knowledgeable and very gracious. She spoke perfect English and she knew where all the right spots were.... and the right order to complete them so that we made the most of the time. She also knew where to take us for the best michelin star Korean dumplings. From the beautiful palaces to the Buddhist Temple, it was a most memorable day.

Travel time between Incheon and Seoul can be very long by car especially in the morning during office hours but Jenny was able to give us interesting information during this trip. She was a guide who knew the place well and she made us discover Seoul despite a very tight timing. We highly recommend it.

Merci beaucoup :) Nous sommes ravis que Jenny ait rendu votre courte escale agréable <3 C’est un vrai plaisir de savoir que vous avez pu découvrir Séoul malgré le temps limité ;) Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt pour une autre belle visite!
La nostra guida, con un mezzo adeguato alle nostre esigenze di bagaglio, ci ha prelevato al porto di Incheon e lasciato al nostro alloggio a Seul dopo averci scarrozzato per la città a caccia degli hi-lights che lei conosceva perfettamente in quanto guida professionale. Grande disponibilità e flessibilità e un inglese impeccabile. Grande Michelle. Molto simpatica e competente.
