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.

Thanks for a great introduction to Seoul
We had been so looking forward to our first trip to South Korea for many months. Having done lots of research of what we wanted to see and do in our time in the city we shared our list with Sanghee. She came up with a great itinerary and we saw soooo much of the city.
THANK YOU!
