Camille est une guide tout à fait charmante et dynamique qui parle en effet très bien coréen et connaît quelques endroits sympas. Néanmoins au marché de Gwangjang, nous n’avons pas reçu de recommandations et avons plus ou moins décidé nous mêmes où manger. Ce n’est pas le but d’un tour de street food où on s’attend aux meilleures adresses, petits secrets et autres trouvailles.sympathique mais manque de connaissances

Although a French citizen, Camille has lived in Seoul for the past six years and has no thoughts of leaving. Deeply entrenched in Korea’s culture, this ebullient guide had us touring through the streets and sights of Seoul at a fast pace, all the while feeding us a continuous stream of information as sights and locations flashed past. Her knowledge on the inside workings of the Palace was impressive. Up hill and down dale we saw new homes trying to look old and old homes still old and untouched. She gave us the name of the best tea made in Korea as we flashed past the best ice-cream shop. We meandered through winding streets housing boutique cafes, gift shops, tea houses etc in an area that used to be a slum. It was wonderful. Highly recommended.Don’t be fooled by the accent,

The words to describe our day trip around Seoul with Camille is simply: "wow'. Camille has an engaging and bubbly personality and related so well to the children. We are quite a fit family and we managed to fit in all the major sites (palace, temples, inner city villages and interesting neighbourhoods, a bit of shopping, a healthy lunch, walk down the artificial canal, ice cream and more. Camille helped us navigate the metro, translated for us, filled in the walk with interesting anecdotes, and make sure sure everyone was having a good time. It was one of the best days of our holiday. Thank you, Camille, you are amazing! With love from all of us, Martin, Sam, Maddie and Ben.A wonderful tour at our preferred pace...

The weather was awful hot. It was 33-34 celcius. Camille was very friendly and understanding. She showed us different parts of Seoul, while telling us the way of Korea. Because of the heat, she adapted the tour for us. We visited some nice Cafes. Out of the heat she told us some fun facts and give tips about things in Seoul. We enjoyed our tour with Camille. Good basic tour to see Seoul.

I was looking to have someone who could walk me through , for few hours and show me some flavour of Seoul , the tradition in this big city. It was very short and I even recommend to spend more time and there is so much to be seen. I could not get more time and i regret. Camille has been super to walk me through the tour and exchange information about Korea, Korean people and life.A nice light tour of Seoul tradition

Elegir a Camille para conocer Seúl es una muy buena opción. Es la persona que te revela los secretos de una gran ciudad a menudo misteriosa para un europeo. Me prestó sus ojos y su sabiduría sobre temas coreanos por una tarde y respondió a todas mis preguntas sobre Hongdae y la sociedad coreana. Muchas gracias! Camille es un anfitrión magnífico en Seúl
