          Despite the cold in December, if you have just 1 for some sightseeing, this is great choice. Lizzy was very nice guide and helped me with the taxi for the return (as they pick you from hotel, but on the return you can select only limited locations).

          Must do in Seoul!
          This tour is top-notch. Pickup was easy, where I met my guide Felicity. From there we took a one-hour or so ride to the DMZ. She gave a great history of the Koreas to set up our trip. Once we arrived she provided the best experience, ensuring we got away from the groups of tours and provided a 1 on 1 experience. My guide is the one that made the trip worth it, i feel like I left with a great education and friend by the end. Highly recommend.

          Lizzy was great! The tour was very informative about Korea culture and history. I recommend the whole day tour. You get to see a lot of ancient Korea.

          Fun and condensed tour of Seoul
          We went to several different places, Lizzy was pretty knowledgeable and, best of all, she actually cared about us. I was cold and she gave me a heating pad that saved me!

          Fascinating tour
          This was a very interesting tour, especially if you are interested in history. I would consider it a must if you visit South Korea. Spring was a wonderful guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. My favorite part was looking over the border into North Korea. It felt surreal. The view was beautiful but also sad. Would definitely recommend this tour!

          DMZ Tour - Great experience with your guide Charles
          Charles was our tour guide, he was very friendly and informative about the history of the DMZ and the sites we saw! He also gave helpful tips about good souvenirs to grab at our stops. I would definitely book this tour again with Charles as our guide!

          Brilliant Tour with great history lesson
          We did this tour with Sebom Kim (Spring) and absolutely loved it. The tour itself was excellent, visiting both the freedom bridge and the third tunnel. Although i must admit the tunnel hike was challenging but definitely rewarding. Our tour guide Spring was the best we ever had, her passion for her culture and history were second to none. She provided a detailed historical lesson on the struggles of South Korea and the impact of the wars. You could tell it wasn't just a tour speech but definitely from the heart Could not recommend enough this tour and hope you have the opportunity to have Spring as your tour guide

          Great tour! Spring, our guide, was amazing.
          Very interesting and comprehensive tour. The logistics was on point and the communication with the agency was very efficiente. But, the best part was our guide, Spring, she made it really amazing sharing her stories and view on the history and meaning behind the DMZ and what it means for the Korean people. Additionally, she was very helpful and cheerful. I definitely recomment to book with her.

          7 out of 5 stars
          This was an amazing and informative trip which, is not to be missed by anyone visiting South Korea. Morning pick up at the hotel was a great convenience, bus ride to and from pleasant and the stops at the DMZ very powerful and emotion evoking. I would easily give it 7 stars out of 5, if possible. One person I would like to single out for special 'thank you' is our vivacious and enthusiastic guide, Lizzy, who single-handedly made the trip so fantastically amazing, over just good. Her energy, openness and attention to detail were incredible, which was infectious to the whole group. She carries around a cloud of positivity and happiness which is a true gift for anyone dealing with the public at that level. I will always remember her positive smile and enthusiastic discussion, sprinkled with humour and compare any future guides to this bar of excellence that she has set. I wish all my future excursions have a Lizzy on their team! VK, Czech Republic

          beautiful but in august is definitely TOO hot, been there for a couple of hours and it's really worth it, the only disadvantage was the weather, there's a bar close to the palace

        We visited very nice temples and saw the ceremony of changung guards. We drove by the blue house and visited the folk museum. Yeoni is a very nice and funny tour guide who tells you everything you wanna know and helps you always out. I would always book her tours again.

        Even it seems half day tour, I think its half of half day tour. Only buddist temple and palace part (inclued folk museum) is exiting.

        Tour is starting about 9.30 ending 12.30.

        But the final is terrible. Gingeng market. I want to discover city. Not listen differencies between Japanese, Chinese, Korean ginsengs. Probably it is a bit preparation for high price of ginseng product. Honestly, I cant say anything about their quality. But I dont want listen such things in half day tour.

        You can visit Temple and Palace yourself dont waste your time and money.

        One thing I loved was the number of options for timing and places. I chose the morning tour, but others in my group were on an all-day tour and continued on after I was dropped off. Jun was an amazing guide!

        Our Guide Lizzy showed us around Jogyesa Temple and Gyeongbokgung Palace. Very competent, she explained the history of these monuments with an English very simple to understand. She even gave us information on the neighborhoods to do (shops, restaurants, etc...) during our stay.
        Thanks to her, I recommend!
