Aulia was amazing!!!!! We had a large party of 9 with an age range from 7 to 70+ (plus 2 wheelchairs). She modified the tour to avoid stairs and to meet the culinary tastes of a finicky American 7-year-old. Since we had more time in Busan, she even added stops to our tour! She really made us feel like we were locals like her. Bottom line, if you are a large party or small, able-bodied or not, Aulia will make sure that you have an amazing time in Busan. Pick her and you won't regret it.

Wonderful experience with Jason
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.
