Mia was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable and friendly. Our itinerary was tailored for us because we had an additional tour the following day and did not want to repeat attractions. Took care of all the tickets, no waiting. It was great to have a driver also! Highly recommend and would do it again.

Mr. Andrew was a lovely guide. We had a fabulous time driving through Seoul. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a local's perspective. Mr. Andrew made sure to take photos of us at every stop and he was instrumental in navigating the lunch menu & picking out the best food for us. i've never had such a great experience with a tour guide before and I highly recommend.
