A wonderful day in Seoul

Stephanie_S, Jul 2024

We enjoyed our tour very much. Our guide made sure that we saw everything we wished to see and was flexible with the schedule. We would definitely recommend this tour. It is not inexpensive but is worth the price if you are looking for a custom and comfortable experience.

Antonio was a wonderful...

Nancy_F, Apr 2024

Antonio was a wonderful tour guide. He fit the tour to our destinations . He took photos for us. He stopped to get pancakes when we were hungry. He told us the history on the places we visited. It was a great day in Seoul!

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you Nancy! We are thrilled that you wrote a review about your experience. See you in Korea again!

Great tour with Andy

Kush_P, Mar 2024

Andy our tour guide was awesome. He cartered to our needs. One of the palaces was clsoed to he took us to anotjer one. He also took us shopping for skin products and steered us away from unnecessary expensive products. I would ask for Andy if you do this as he is fun. He even went out of his way to help us get soccer tickets, made sure we got thete the next day. We even had some other issues in days after and he was very helpful. Again, Andy made this tour worthwhile.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you so much! Glad to hear about your wonderful experience with Andy. Thank you for choosing Korea Tour Company.

Fabulous tour. Amazing guide.

Don, our tour guide made a huge difference. He was very knowledgeable. He enjoyed learning each site's history as well as his stories. It was unfortunate it was so windy we couldn't ride the gondola to the N Seoul tower. He did however took us to another peak.
