I highly recommend this tour! Our guide J was so kind, helpful and informative! Definitely a must to explore the Gyeongbokgung palace with J to learn about the history. It was a hot day and she made sure everyone stayed hydrated and that we recharged in the shadows. These hours flew by because it's was so fun! Regards Aurora Bernt

It was great! Our guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. She was more worried about taking good pictures than ourselves 😁. In addition to that she gave me many local tips, recommended destinations for the rest of the day, and helped me out finding things I needed to buy.

This was truly an excellent experience. The weather was awesome, the tour started earlier in the day (9am), which meant the crowds weren't too large and the sun wasn't too hot. I was a solo traveler, and super lucky that I was the only person on this tour. Saira, the guide, was great! She had lots of information, entertained all my questions, and gave some great tips for other activities to try out in Seoul, for the time I was there. Even if you think you're not the type to dress up, I HIGHLY recommend the Hanbok experience. It is so fun, and you will be among hundreds of people that are all doing it also, so there's no need to worry about standing out too much. There is also a lot of flexibility with the booking of this tour. The company allowed me to move dates around, right up until the last minute. I found this particularly helpful because the weather wasn't great on the initial day I had booked for.
