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

I recently had the pleasure of taking a tour led by Sanghee and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment the tour began, she demonstrated deep knowledge, passion, and professionalism that elevated the entire journey. Sanghee was incredibly informative. She shared historical facts, local legends, and hidden gems that you simply wouldn't get from a guidebook. She even organized us a lot of free gifts. Every question was answered thoughtfully. What really stood out was her warm personality and sense of humor. The pacing was perfect, with enough time to explore, take photos, and absorb the atmosphere. Thank you for such a memorable experience!Our Tour with Sanghee

Sanghee was a pleasure to spend time with because of her fun personality! She helped us understand Korean culture and showed us around with a local’s confidence, listening to what we and our teenage daughters wanted to experience. We all laughed a lot together!So much fun!

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.

We had a wonderful experience on this walking food tour in Seoul! Our guide, Sanghee Priscilla, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making the whole tour feel relaxed and engaging. We explored a variety of local street foods and even enjoyed a couple of sit-down spots, which gave a great mix of authentic tastes and atmospheres. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, and I appreciated learning about the history and culture behind each dish. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a true taste of Seoul, guided by a passionate local expert!Great local experience

Sanghee Priscilla was very pleasant, funny and knowledgeable and had planned the tour well, based on what Nick wanted to do and see. She went out of her way to accommodate us and even found English breakfast tea bags for me as I couldn’t find them. She was so thoughtful in regards to my son’s limited capacity for walking. I could not have asked for a more pleasant person to guide us around her hometown Seoul. 11 out of 10 if possible.K pop tour

Sanghee is a natural guide. Full of energy and humour, eager to impart her knowledge and experience of her city, but thoughtfully tailored to our interests and pace. Her extensive overseas travel contributed to an instant rapport and a shared context for her explanations. Our tour with her was most enjoyable. A natural guide!

If you're visiting Seoul and want more than just a typical tour, Sanghee is the guide you need! She’s not only super knowledgeable about the city, but also incredibly funny and warm—like catching up with a friend who knows all the hidden gems. We booked a foodie on day one and a city tour on day two , and it was hands-down one of the best experiences of our trip. Sanghee took us to places we’d never find on our own, from street food stalls to cozy local restaurants. She shared fun facts, local history, and even quirky stories that made everything so much more memorable. What really sets her apart is her energy and genuine love for Seoul—and food! If you’re a foodie or just want to explore the city with someone who feels like a local friend, don’t miss out on touring with Sanghee. Can’t recommend her enough!A warm welcome to Seoul!

We had a great time with Priscilla. Priscilla was really flexible and accommodating. We are really introverted and Priscilla totally put us at ease. In total we had more than 20 items and were stuffed to the brim. Many of the stalls were stalls we would never dare to try without a local. Come hungry!!!Great time! Really authentic!

Priscilla organised the full day for us. So good to be picked up from our accommodation knowing we were going where we wanted to go. Zip line and Nami ticked off our list with an added bonus of a local lunch … yum Priscilla dropped us off in the city and ensured we knew exactly where we had to go on the sub. All adding to our experience. Priscilla is such a bubbly individual and has a wealth of knowledge to impart. Such a great day

My mother and I did a walking tour with Sanghee that started off at Gyeongbokgung Palace and in and around Bukchon. Since my mother is older, I asked Sanghee to pace us slowly and she did a great job of showing us around the sights while checking in with my mom on how she was doing. Sanghee was knowledgeable and kind, giving us insights into the Korean life whilst also helping satisfy the "tourist" side. Highly recommend!Great tour with Sanghee!

I met Priscilla at a Metro station near Namdaemun Market and sampled a wide variety of foods from restaurants, small cafes and street stalls. I tasted many things which I would have been wary about, without her telling me about them. She was knowledgeable, funny, informative and very easy to understand. I would highly recommend her - just make sure you haven’t eaten for a few days beforehand! Her insight into Korean food was very useful in my further travels around Korea and I will definitely be cooking some of the dishes when I get home. Thanks Priscilla, hope to see you on my next trip to Seoul. A must do if in Seoul.

My group really enjoyed our time Priscilla. She was very fun, charismatic, and knowledgeable about the history of South Korea. She was very familiar with the many shrines, statues, temples and artifacts, and she was able to tell the stories of each. Priscilla answered all of our questions and she made great recommendations outside of our tour. I would recommend Priscilla as a guide if you are visiting South Korea.Very Informative

My family and I recently joined Priscilla’s street food tour in Seoul, and it was fantastic! We explored local markets, tasting authentic dishes like bibimbap and noodle soup. We had been enjoying Seoul’s food scenes too much the days, so don’t make the same mistake and forget to starve yourselves the night before 😁. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience Seoul’s culinary delights.Bring an empty stomach!

This tour was amazing! Priscilla is full of energy, knowledgeable, and made the history of the DMZ easy to understand. Visiting the Third Infiltration Tunnel and Dora Observatory was fascinating and educational. Seeing North Korea from the observatory was a unique experience, and Priscilla kept everything streamlined to provide us the best views and opportunities of the entire day.Must do activity whilst in Seoul!

Tour guide Sanghee Priscilla was wonderful. She was excellent in communicating with us. Very prompt and very accommodating to our needs. We appreciated her flexibility very much!!! We had some issues originally with the times and then with the unexpected snow, the palace opened later. She contacted us immediately to let us know the changes and how we could adjust. Sanghee's had a great demeanor and wonderful personality. Very warm and friendly. She was very informative during the palace tour, giving interesting tidbits of information. She walked us through the famous Bukchon Hanok Village and surrounding area, Jogyesu Temple, Insadong and gave us a good recommendation to have kbbq after leaving us before dinner. I would definitely use her again on our next trip to Korea.Gyeongbokgung Palace tour

With limited time on my layover in Seoul we were able to experience a lot, all during a 100 year snow storm. Sanghee met me at the airport, introduced me to Korean coffee, then had me on and off every mode of public transport to make the most of our time. Photo ops covered in snow at every turn and amazing food to keep us going (all on limited sleep). Sanghee took the time to get to know me and shared about her life along with teaching me some history of Korea along with basic Korean numbers and writing. My only regret is that I didn’t have more time to experience this great city with an amazing guide. Whirlwind of experiences

Sanghee is a great guide with whom you can have great conversations and learn more about Seoul and South Korea. I gifted this to my girlfriend and would do this definitely again.

We spent our first two days in Seoul with Songhee. By the time we were done with our food tour we were already planning a return trip ( and we still had 5 more days here!) . When we said good bye she felt like a friend if not family member. Songhee has a lovely casual air about her and lets you set the pace. You don’t feel rushed or limited in any questions or advice. She was also very helpful pre - trip with advice. Simply put because of her we will be back and will want to reconnect ..Kam Sa Hamida!Our new BFF in Korea!

We recently had the pleasure of experiencing two tours led by Sanghee, and I can't recommend her highly enough! From the moment we met, she exuded warmth and enthusiasm, making everyone feel welcome and excited for the tour ahead. Sanghee was knowledgeable about the local history and culture, sharing fascinating and funny stories. The tour was well-paced, allowing us to take in the sights. Sanghee was attentive to our needs, checking in regularly to make sure everyone was comfortable and happy. We wanted to visit the DMZ but due to trash ballons from North Korea we weren't allowed to. Sanghee immediately found a solution and showed us a different observatory. We were very lucky to have her by our side. If you're looking for an engaging, informative, and enjoyable tour experience, look no further than Sanghee! Thank you for the two wonderful tours together.Great Experience

Our group had a wonderful private tour with Sanghee! We explored two contrasting markets and ate delicious food at both, including incredible Michelin * mandu, the best gimbap, tteokbokki, bingsu... and much more! She also helped us purchase T-money cards, and helped us navigate the bus and subway system. She was able to weave in historical context, stories, and cultural relevance while we walked around. She made recommendations for skin care products at an Olive Young pit stop. She helped my mom find local vendors for specific items on her wish list. She was flexible and was able to create the exact day we needed to start off our trip in Korea with the best knowledge, and feeling like we had hit many highlights, making the rest of our days in Seoul more relaxed. We highly recommend Sanghee and would happily sign up for a tour with her again!Perfect day in Seoul!

I spent one full day with Priscilla in Seoul, but we communicated many times before and after that day. She is an expert communicator with great English. Before I left home, she put my concerns at ease, and I knew I would be in good hands with her. We spent one day together doing K Beauty activities, that Priscilla arranged on my behalf, and then we shopped together too. I wanted to ship my purchases back to the USA, so I didn't have to deal with them on the rest of my travels. Priscilla went to the post office with me and we shipped everything I bought to the USA. But - oh no! - the package got stopped at the port and returned to the post office. I had departed Seoul by that time. Priscilla took the lead, returned to the post office, determined why the package was returned and re-shipped it to me in the USA. I have the package now and would NOT have it, if it weren't for Priscilla. She saved all my K Beauty products. She clearly goes above and beyond for her clients. Book her...you won't be disappointed.The Best!

Priscilla customised the tour to accommodate my 5 year olds. They are picky eaters but thoroughly enjoyed the tour and gamely tried all the food Priscilla bought them. Priscilla was also very patient explaining the food to the children. We were in Korea for 2 weeks and tried a variety of experience but Priscilla’s tour was ranked in the top 3 memorable experience by the children. Amazing with young children

It was way too fast we did not take the time at all to eat , as soon we were sitting we were already living a place. We told our guide we were disappointed but it’s more than this, it feels we were scammed more than anything for the price we pay. English was so so as well and we did not learn at all from a local perspective. A disappointment and scam in my opinion Too fast, rushing, nothing locals

We had a great time eating various food at the market. When it started to rain we got a bus to another market for more food, then a tea house and then bingsu. It was still successful even with the rain. It was the best bingsu. I loved that we had choices of what to eat and could say what we didn’t like. Market tour

Sanghee from the get go was always so attentive, to make sure I got the best experience whilst in Seoul. She enabled me to plan my days effectively with my short space of time. When I had the tour she was always looking after me as I had got off my flight that same day and booked my tour. The tour was incredible, lots of amazing food in homely places and a lovely chilled atmosphere during our tour. Overall, a huge credit to herself and I would highly recommend booking her if you are in Seoul in the near future! Thank you so much Sanghee for all your help, I really appreciate it! If I'm ever back in Seoul in the future I will definitely get in contact 😊✨Informative and made me feel at home
