Jon was a wonderful tour guide—if you’re considering this tour, I highly recommend booking it. We got to see a side of Seoul that felt off the beaten path and was incredibly beautiful. Jon is extremely knowledgeable, and we came away having learned history and insights that gave us a deeper understanding of a different side of the city. It was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. Jon is also a very warm person and you can tell he feels passionately about Korea, its history, and sharing it with others! 10/10!

A lovely tour of the quiet, green area of the city, away from the bustling center, very informative, it was good to see a different side of the city.

Kangsil was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the experience. She shared fascinating stories in such an engaging way, and it was amazing to learn more about the country’s history through her perspective. This experience truly added so much to my visit to Korea. I highly recommend it!

This was my second trip to Seoul, and I wanted to do something different. However, this tour is worthwhile on your first trip to Seoul! Kangsil's tour has it all - history lesson, exercise, classic poetry, movie references, and beautiful views from a vantage point.

IF YOU POSSIBLY CAN- YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS TOUR. Jon was an amazing guide; full of history with interesting stories giving a helpful understanding of the Korean area. He is passionate and provides the right amount of detail - we all absolutely loved it. He took extra care in our limited time to facilitate us to return to the airport that was way over and beyond and kind. We enjoyed our couple of hours with him and wish it could have been more. He does a few different tours and I would love to return and take them all! Especially the food!! That would be SO fun!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

My emphasis is on people and stories, and helping others to appreciate Seoul's rich past and dynamic present.
