A lot of Seoul packed into 3 hours.
For our first trip to Seoul and Korea, I knew that our group of 4 needed a guide to give us a "greatest" hit of Seoul. Ho Jin had the most reviews and seem to fit the style that I like for a city tour so I quickly booked him. Ho did not disappoint and delivered what was promised and more!
We met Ho at Gwanghwamun Square on a sunny Friday. Ho provided good meeting instructions and was punctual. The tour started at the palace and we were lucky enough to be there during a performance similar to a changing of the guards. Ho bought tickets while we watched the performance and then we were off on the tour. Ho is able to talk with authority about Korea history and the story behind the buildings in the palace. He kept it interesting.
After the palace, the tour continued in the surrounding areas. There is quite a bit of walking during the 3 hours so we covered a lot of places. We visited a traditional hanbok village, a Chinese temple that was having a festival with wonderful lanterns hanging, and also jumped on the subway and visited Ipsadong. Ho kept things interesting and tried to give us an expansive tour that really is the greatest hits. In fact, we went back to Ipsadong the next day to do some shopping.
It is a good tour and the 3 hours flew by. The pace is relaxed and Ho made sure that we were comfortable throughout. His communication was perfect and he answers all our questions. The tour is a great introduction to Seoul and Korea. I would definitely recommend Ho for the tour!

A natural guide!
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.

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!
