This tour was fantastic from the start. From being picked up at the door of our hotel to being dropped back. Couldn’t recommend Ho Jin enough! The whole day felt comfortable and easy going and he was very knowledgeable on all aspects of the DMZ.

Excellent tour and great guide
We had a wonderful afternoon with Jason. He is very knowledgeable in all things from history, culture and food to local insights, and he made exploring Seoul fun. Going on the tour has given us great appreciation for this beautifully diverse city, and there‘s nothing like experiencing it with someone who knows and loves the city. I highly recommend Jason as a guide!

Interesting and Informative
Jason was a great guide to our first full day in Seoul. He arranged an easy place to meet and was on time. He had suggested two main spots to explore, based on our family's interests, and also took us on a couple of interesting side spots. His explanations, suggestions, and help in purchasing snacks at the market were great. Jason's insights and humor throughout the tour were wonderful.

Terrific guide - don’t hesitate to book!
We had a great time touring the DMZ and related areas with Jin. He was at once knowledgeable, fun, relaxed, attentive, everything you want your guide to be. Jin’s English is impeccable and we even bantered in his native Spanish. We tailored the itinerary a bit, communication pre-tour was fast and easy. Would love to come back to Seoul and have Jin show us more of this incredible country.

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.

Great tour
We had a great private tour with Ho Jin. The day flew by and he was very nice and talketive guy. He made sure we saw everything on our tour and even took us to a good local restaurant for lunch. If you are looking for a private tour I would recommend Ho Jin.
