Me and my daughter had a wonderful private tour with Jason. He picked us up from our hotel and showed us his favorite spots.
Jason had already contacted us before our trip to Seoul to ask what we definitely wanted to see. As we did not have a proper idea about Seoul, he gave us some suggestions first.
When he showed us around, he spent enough time to explain the scene and the culture. He was nice, friendly and patient all the way.
I would seriously recommend Jason if you are looking for a personalized tour, instead of some standardized tourist walk.

Unforgettable Journey in Seoul
If you're craving a more authentic, non-touristy experience—Jason is your guy!
I was looking for a local, low-key tour, far from the typical tourist traps, and Jason completely exceeded my expectations. Instead of wandering aimlessly using Instagram or TikTok suggestions, Jason curated a personalized experience that somehow hit all the places I had secretly saved—without me even mentioning them!
He took me to the most charming coffee houses (I’m a total coffee feen, so this was heaven), introduced me to delicious local pastries I couldn’t resist, and even mixed in some of the trendy spots I had my eye on—all without it ever feeling forced or “tour-guidey.” He also recommended must-see/do/eat places near our hotel and wherever we ventured during the day.
What really stood out was how thoughtful and attentive he was—always checking in to see if the vibe of each place matched what I was looking for and willing to adjust on the fly if needed.
If you’re on the fence—don’t be. Book with Jason. He’ll make sure your trip is not only memorable but truly unique to you.

Awesome Tour with Jason
Once we started chatting, we found Jason to be very friendly and helpful. He answered all our questions about travel in Seoul and gave us helpful tips and suggestions on where to go. The tour he created for us was customised for us; our daughter was able to take photos of paths less trodden by tourists and we also enjoyed the bustling market of Gwangjiang and the amazing cafes of Ik Seon Dong. Jason’s recommendation for street food at Gwangjiang market did not disappoint. The food we had was good. All in all, we really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely engage Jason the next time we go back to Seoul. Thanks, Jason!
