(About local KIM)

2 September 2025

My wife and I took the 5 hour tour with KIM in Seoul, and we would highly recommend her. KIM is knowledgeable, friendly, and easily picked up on our style. She took us around the palace and through Bukchon to areas we never would have found on our own, and gave us a great balance of history and culture. After a delicious Bibimbap lunch, we went to the food market and had a great sampling of Korean food. We have to say, it was an excellent day and a perfect way to be introduced to Seoul. Lastly, Kim has boundless energy, also great as we really packed in a lot. Thank you again, KIM for a great tour!KIM was amazing

Amazing! This tour is very detailed, Kim our guide is passionate about history and makes this tour come alive. We visited the prison and each building, each room was told to us, making a discovery a reality. If we had been alone we would not have been able to have this feeling. We then went to see Mr. Taylor's house then the palace and the exhibition on light. We ended up with a part of the palace that was cut off from its origin. Tripper and Kim delighted us. In addition, Kim was able to adapt to my pace having difficulty walking and taking the stairs. I really appreciated it. Thank you to you and Tripper. I highly recommend this agency and will not hesitate to use their service again either in Seoul or Busan. //Incroyable ! cette visite est très détaillée, Kim notre guide est passionnée d’histoire et rend vivante cette visite. Nous avons visité la prison et chaque bâtiment, chaque pièce nous a été raconté faisant une découverte une réalité. Si nous avions été seul nous n’aurions pas pu avoir se ressenti. Nous avons ensuite été voir la maison de Mr Taylor puis le palais et l’expo sur la lumière. nous avons fini par une partie du palais qui a été coupé de son origine. Tripper et Kim nous ont ravi. De plus Kim a su s’adapter à mon rythme ayant des difficultés pour marche et prendre les escaliers. J’ai vraiment apprécié. Merci à vous et à Tripper. Je recommande vivement cette agence et n’hésiterai pas à reprendre leur service soit à Séoul ou Busan . Passionate, Friendly, Extremly Knowlegable and Ready to answer your questsions.
