“We wanted a full day private tour for our first full day in Seoul to get oriented before a few days on our own. Brian (our wonderful guide) arrived on time in front of our hotel and gave us a terrific overview of Seoul which he customized real time based on our interests. Brian was incredibly articulate and incredibly knowledgeable about Korean history snd culture. In addition to getting a great overview of Seoul the city, we learned a lot about Korea which enhanced the rest of our touring on our own in Seoul. We recommend this tour and highly recommend Brian!!!”
