“Our tour guide Paul was so kind and extremely informative. He is local to Seoul and has studied the culture and history of the area for over 10 years. Each area that we visited was unique and beautiful, but Paul made the experience much more immersive with the knowledge that he shared about each location. Gyeongbokgung palace is an unforgettable place and I would recommend anyone that has the opportunity to visit Korea to go see it. In addition to sight seeing, Paul wanted us to experience the charm in Seoul through other things such as the efficient public transportation and authentic street food. Overall, this was an amazing experience…”
