Amazing tour with Jae. He had so many stories and showed really good understanding of all the good spots in the tour. He also had fun songs about the palace. Good recommendations for photo opportunities too! Would recommend.

We had the best time with our tour guide, Stella! She was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much history and information with us. She was also so much fun! We even stopped for an ice cream and because I had been talking to her about wanting to buy skincare, she even took me to Sulwahsoo to try products. By the end of the tour, we were fast friends and I was a bit sad to say goodbye to her! I highly recommend Stella as your tour guide!

My walking tour with Stella was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of very interesting information along the way. Being able to see the changing of the palace guards was really great. She also recommended Korean street foods for me (I’m vegetarian). Overall it was an amazing experience and I will definitely be booking again next time I’m in Seoul. Highly recommend!

Stella was a fantastic guide, friendly and knowledgeable. I had the luck to have the tour the day after I arrived, which already enriched my experience in Seoul. She was aware of my comfort and could answer every question I asked. The structure of the tour was well-thought through, with enough opportunities to explore the small details of this beautiful part of the city. Thank you for this memorable tour, Stella! Would recommend you to whomever comes to Seoul

The tour was very interesting and the tour guide was very informative and friendly. I would definitely recommend this tour, if you do not have all day to visit the palace and the Bukchon village and, if you prefer to walk to the different sights instead of taking the bus. The only (understandable) downside was that we did not have a lot of time at each stop to look at everything in more detail. Nevertheless, we did get to see a lot of interesting places in a relatively short period of time (3-hour-tour).
