We. Went. Everywhere!

James_J, Jul 2023

I booked the tour, my guide reached out with a list of options to explore around the city and asked for my preferences. And then the morning of we began what I can only explain as a whirlwind tour of Seoul: it was my first time, so I wanted to see as much as possible with an emphasis on history and culture (and pictures!). I would highly recommend GJ (Jee Eun) as a guide! We had so much fun! There was a detailed itinerary, and though some places we were only able to spend a short time there, I was left with enough explanation to revisit on my own later during my trip.
