This was a very enjoyable tour. Everything was nearby so there was not a lot of wasted time on the road. They picked us up from the Hotel President and it was very close to the stops. The food tasting in the market is not included. Cathy was very attentive and friendly. She was great about taking pictures of us and sending them to us.

Hanok vibes, N Tower with street food.

Rashmita_U, Apr 2026
Azure was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and good company . I thoroughly recommend the tour and Azure as a guide. Thanks for a great afternoon!

Our guide Jeanie was...

Amit_T, Apr 2026
Our guide Jeanie was exceptional throughout the tour and Mr. Lee, our driver did an very good job safely navigating us through the busy streets. Jeanie showed us all the sites and explained everything in great detail. She went above and beyond and took our pictures and shared them via WhatsApp. She even helped give us recommendations to restaurants and other sites of interest we could visit on our own. Would highly recommend the half day tour here

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your fantastic review! We are thrilled that Jeanie’s exceptional guidance and Mr. Lee’s safe driving made your half-day tour so enjoyable. We’re glad you appreciated the photos and local recommendations—going "above and beyond" is what we strive for! It’s wonderful to hear that the detailed explanations added value to your visit. Your high recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back to Korea soon!

Oops they forgot about us

Alan_W, Mar 2026
First, they failed to pick us up. They said the driver had an accident yet everyone else was picked up and the van was at the village. I had a number to text on whatsapp which never responded back. We had to call the company to ask why they were 40 minutes late. We were told to take a cab to the village, the guide paid the taxi driver. Everyone else was there waiting for us. The other issue is street food is mentioned, that isn't until the end of the tour at the street market 3 hours later. We didn't have lunch since street food was mentioned. My other issue is several tours take us to the "ginseng museum" a marketing ploy to purchase Korean ginseng, I am guessing there is a payment to the tour company for any sales. The guide, Ms Jeanie was very nice though I believe because we started late we were rushed a bit. The village, tower and street market were positives to see, just frustrating not to be picked up when we confirmed our location and told the time we were to be picked up.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced, particularly regarding the pickup delay and the difficulty in communication. We truly regret the frustration this caused and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we will review this matter carefully to improve our service. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.

Amazing tour😀

LETICIA_C, Dec 2025
Very interesting and amazing to see this part of Seoul. Our guide, Cathy, was wonderful. She’s so knowledgeable, accommodating, helpful, considerate of our situation being seniors. She planned a perfect itinerary to make the tour comfortable. Thank you so much for a great experience.😀

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Not what we expected

Lee_M, Sep 2025
Maybe our experience was different, however our tour was extremely disorganized. We went to a traditional village as part of the itinerary that happened to be closed because it was Monday and then somehow made our way to a time capsule (not on the agenda). The elderly/physically challenged either limped along or stayed in the van (we overheard many complaints). The 'Netflix Street Food" portion of the tour was a bust. We did not visit any vendor as a group nor was any food provided. They dropped us at the door and said meet in 30 minutes at which time the tour guide said goodbye and we were all confused as to what had just happened. Our driver did return us to our hotel. The conversation regarding the tour in the van amongst other tourists was the most entertaining part of the trip. We would not write this off but would wait for positive reviews before scheduling again.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We are truly sorry the tour did not meet your expectations, especially with the closed venue and confusion around the food portion. We also regret the inconvenience caused to elderly guests. Your comments are valuable and will help us improve organization, accessibility, and clarity. We hope to welcome you again with a much better experience in the future. Sincerely, Cosmojin Tour Team

Waste of Time

Peter_S, Sep 2025
A tour guide did not talk about any of the sites we passed, which all seem to be very interesting but all she did was talk at length to the driver who was very rude. She took us to a place that was supposed to have old Korean housing, but it was closed so she had to go to another place had us walking up steep Hills only to see such poor sites as the time capsule waste of time..

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will review this matter internally to improve our service. Best regards, Cosmojin Team

Seoul Tour

Laurie_B, Jul 2025
Molly was an outstanding tour guide. As a former teacher, so she knew how to read a crowd and keep the pace just right. She minimized distractions while so we could fully enjoy her fascinating explanations about the history and culture of South Korea. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about her country and the history of it. Her knowledge and passion for her country truly shone through. She kept everyone engaged by asking questions and making the experience interactive. I highly recommend this your, especially with Molly as your guide!

Seoul Intro

Monica_S, Jul 2025
We went to this tour on our first day in Seoul. We were picked up at our hotel on a spacious and comfortable Benz sprinter. We were the only passengers, our kind and gentle van driver tried to engage us in conversation and always bid us to have fun and warmly greets us when we get back at the van. Our guide Cathy, was patient and helpful with my kids. She is very informative and always made an effort to take pictures of us, which I truly appreciate as it happens that we rarely have a good photo of all of us together in place we visit. We first went to Namsan Tower for a sweeping view of Seoul, then to Gwangjang market wherein we were able to try some Korean dishes and there are many traditional Korean things to see and buy there.Our last destination was traditional village of the Korean upper class in the old times. We had great afternoon with Cathy who showed us a glimpse of what to expect in Seoul. Highly recommend this tour and their company.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you so much for your heartfelt and detailed review! We’re truly honored that you chose our tour for your very first day in Seoul. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the comfort of the Benz Sprinter, the kindness of our driver, and the thoughtful care provided by our guide, Cathy. We're especially happy to know that she made the day even more special for your family — from helping with the kids to capturing those precious group photos. Namsan Tower, Gwangjang Market, and the traditional village are all beautiful windows into Seoul’s charm, and we’re so glad Cathy could help you discover them in a meaningful and enjoyable way. Thank you again for the kind recommendation. We hope the rest of your stay in Korea is just as memorable, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future! Warmest regards, Cosmojin Tour Team

Half Day Seoul Intro

Andrea_G, May 2025
This half day tour with Molly was amazing! First, Molly provided updates on pick-up in advance and greeted us right at our hotel where our very competent and friendly driver promptly picked us up. Our first stop was the Tower where we took the cable car to the top. We toured the grounds receiving an excellent overview of the tower, past and present. The traditional village was also very interesting. The market, of course, was delicious! We were comfortable the entire tour and Molly truly made us feel like valued family guests. She was very informative and kind and especially treated my 2-year granddaughter as someone super special. I highly recommend this tour and Molly as the guide!

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful experience on the tour with Molly.

Memorable Tour

michael_k, Oct 2024
Great guide, Ms Orota is very bubbly...even though the weather was rainy and cloudy she was a ray of sunshine always smiling and helpful in answering everyone's questions. We visited Cheongha Korean Ginseng store, one part of the store is all about the history and cultivation of ginseng the other part sells wonderful Korean snacks. We walked around Hanok Village, quaint homes with lots of history, went to Seoul Tower and ended our day at Gwangjang Market...there we bought our dinner of mandu, bindaetteok, and gimbap, Mahalo Michael and Jo Ann

Bulou_L, Dec 2023
Our tour guide was amazing with patience as we had just returned from a tour of Busan. She was flexible and arranged to meet us at the first stop of our tour at Gwangjang markets. She took us on a great tour and talked succinctly about the history, there is no ‘fluff’ talk which impressed me greatly. Highly recommended! Seini Lethe
