This tour was very enjoyable. We wanted to see the most of Seoul because of our short visit and we did. Our tour guide, Grace, provided the utmost service. She was very informative, friendly and genuinely kind. I would highly recommend this tour. It was a little exhausting but well worth it.

Lizzy was amazing. I went with my dad who was on a wheelchair and the tour was so so accommodating throughout. We couldn’t go into the palace which was about an hour plus but still got to see the palace from the gates and the changing of the guards and everything else. Lizzy was very accommodating throughout, dad and I were truly grateful. Thank you !
