Do it! Great ‘only known by locals’ tour.
Prior to the tour beginning Jason contacted me to ask what my interests were. From there he tailored the tour especially for me.
We explored trendy streets with gorgeous concept cafes and restaurants which were off the beaten track and popular with locals.
Jason was a real pleasure to spend time with, kind, clever and generous with his time and knowledge.

Amazing tour with an amazing tour guide
I had an outstanding experience with my WithLocals guide in Seoul! Ho Jin led me on two separate tours, and each one was thoughtfully planned, engaging, and full of interesting insights. He shared many practical tips that will, I am sure, enhance the rest of my time in the city. Beyond his knowledge, what truly stood out was his warm and easygoing personality — he made me feel completely at ease from the start. If you're visiting Seoul, don’t miss the chance to explore it with Ho Jin!

A wonderful experience with Ho Jin
Ho Jin was a fantastic guide - my partner and I had a lovely, informative day with him exploring the DMZ and the region around it. Ho Jin was very knowledgeable about the history and context of the Korean War and relations with the North. He was also a lot of fun - and we really appreciated his willingness to vary the plan for the day, and to drop us off at the airport at the end of our time together.
