About local Sanghee Priscilla
14 September 2025
Brilliant

SANGHEE was a great host. Had good English. Took us everywhere we wanted to go. Was extremely knowledgeable about the past history of Korea … both South and North and also very knowledgeable of current Korea as it is today. She also took lots of photos for us which she sent to us after our trip. We would thoroughly recommend her.

Fantastic Seoul guide

We just completed our tour with Jason and were so impressed. He is a local so knows areas that are less touristed as well as the best sites to see. Very friendly and knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our needs. 10/10. Thank you.

Busan food tour with Aulia

Thank you to Aulia for accepting our last minute booking! She tried her very best to accommodate us. She showed us around and answered our questions. It's nice to learn about the food we tasted and know about vendors' stories.
