Full-Day Seoul Highlights Private Guided Tour

Made our trip so easy and awesome

They made the trip so easy and fun! We had the best service . Would totally recommend ! They were on time and so organized. Easy to communicate with . Our guide was so nice and friendly

Great History Information From Tour guide

My son and I (7) booked this tour to get around the city as much as possible in the short amount of time we were there. The city was amazing and the tour hit just about every aspect we were looking for. We went to the palace and did a little shopping and street foods. I did like the tour but at times I felt that the tour guide was a little "judgy" or biased in his own opinions. He had made a comment about wanting to pursue my career instead of be with my boyfriend who worked in another country. After he described the roles of male and female at the palace and the different sleeping houses he stated "the only reason I opened the door for you today was because you had your son with you, I do not open the door for women." It was just a little off putting. I understand that diversity and culture plays a large aspect, but I just do not think that they should express these to customers. I wanted to reply to him with, "isn't it funny a single woman paying you to provide this service." Instead I understood that we are all different and let it go.

Uninterested Tour Guide. Not worth the money spent

I booked a private DMZ tour for 7 pax with Korea Tour Company in June. One of my colleague dropped out and another one decided to drive to the destination to meet us there. Without informing me in advance, the Korea Tour Company came to fetch us in a small car that can only fit 5 person, even though I had paid for a car for 7 pax. The tour guide also asked my colleague who arrived earlier at the DMZ center to queue up at the ticket counter while we were still on the road. This is seriously unacceptable and ridiculous. We wasted at least 1.5 hours at the center because of the queue as the company did not purchase the tickets in advance for us. The tour guide also did not care to explain much about the sites (I was observing other tour guides on site) but rushed through everything. They also included in our itinerary a "tourist shopping stop" which was not originally in my itinerary. At the end we got so bored, we decided to abandon the tour and end it by 1 2.30 PM.

The Best of Seoul

We were a group of 9 Americans who had just completed a mission trip in Cambodia. We had a 12 hour layover in Seoul on our way home so we booked a day tour with Korea Tour Company. It was amazing. We were so pleased. Our guide was Sori. She knew just where to take us to be at the best advantage for photos or to be ahead of the crowds. We totally enjoyed the day and were so pleased. Thank you for showing us your beautiful city.

A very interesting trip

The protection and organization of the trip was excellent. The guide Kory was excellent with extensive knowledge and very kind.

Best tour guide ever

It is our first time to Seoul, it wouldn't have been this great and hassle free if it's without our tour guide, Mr Kory. I strongly recommend Mr Kory because of his professionalism, and always going extra miles for us. He did his best to accommodate to our request. Eg. At Gyeongbokgung Palace, he ran to the first in queue, so that we can take the photo with the guard without waiting. He also helped us to queue for lunch, while allowing us to shop around at Insadong. I will definitely recommend Mr Kory to my family and friends, and will definitely look for him again when I visit Seoul again. Thank you Korea Tour Company for assigning Mr Kory to be our tour guide! :)

A great day trip in Seoul with the greatest tour guide ever!!!!

If I could give more than 5 Stars I would!!! We decided to take a quick trip to Seoul and I found the Korea Tour Company and arranged for a day Tour of the highlights of Seoul. We really got so lucky to have Kory as our guide. He was so friendly from the very first second and we all became quick friends. We visited the Palace first and Kory (who is extremely knowledgeable) told us all about the history of the Palace and other information in great detail. As we visited more locations like the Blue House and a scenic over watch of Seoul we all became so involved with Kory's knowledge and his professional yet very friendly demeanor. The Van he picked us up in was very nice, he had water for us and was constantly making sure we had everything we need. He also took very good care of my Mother-in-law. Ensuring she got in and out of the van with no problems etc. We also found out that Kory is an expert photographer and he took great shots of us during the visits to the sites. And the final wow moment was.... He wanted to take us to a great Chicken soup restaurant. We arrived and there was a line of at least 40 people. He told us to wait in line, went inside and within 5 minutes we were seated right away!!! He knows people so we were treated as VIP guests. And the food was outstanding!!! I have already recommended 8 people to use this company and to ask for Kory!!

Antonio was a wonderful...

Antonio was a wonderful tour guide. He fit the tour to our destinations . He took photos for us. He stopped to get pancakes when we were hungry. He told us the history on the places we visited. It was a great day in Seoul!

Great tour with Andy

Andy our tour guide was awesome. He cartered to our needs. One of the palaces was clsoed to he took us to anotjer one. He also took us shopping for skin products and steered us away from unnecessary expensive products. I would ask for Andy if you do this as he is fun. He even went out of his way to help us get soccer tickets, made sure we got thete the next day. We even had some other issues in days after and he was very helpful. Again, Andy made this tour worthwhile.

Amazing Memories in Seoul

Our tour guide Sori did such an amazing job! We did enjoy every moment of the tour! She was knowledgable, attentive, and patient! We felt lucky to have her as our tour guide! If you are not sure where to go and want to learn about the history of Seoul, I highly recommend this tour!

Seoul tour!

Andy was incredible! He took me to see as many things as he possibly could with my short layover time, and made sure I was on time to my Kpop dance class!! He taught me so much about Korea and I will definitely be using him again when I come back!

Had a great time!!!

We had a great time in Korea during this trip. We hired a private tour throughout our tour. Our tour guide was always on time. Even with the busy schedule we had, she made sure we enjoyed every bits of it. It was quite an experience. When I go back to Korea, will definitely get Korea tour company to organise our itinerary.

Fantastic Day (s) !

Andy, our guide, was excellent, we could not have asked for anyone better! He was very professional, polite, knowledgeable, easy to understand and had a great sense of humour! We had a fantastic day, filled with interesting sights and facts. Thank you so much. Would definitely use again (in fact we did as we had a second tour to DMZ the next day!) Highly recommended

Fabulous tour. Amazing guide.

Don, our tour guide made a huge difference. He was very knowledgeable. He enjoyed learning each site's history as well as his stories. It was unfortunate it was so windy we couldn't ride the gondola to the N Seoul tower. He did however took us to another peak.

Highlights of Seoul and beyond

Excellent tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and flexible with our needs. Her English was excellent and our group was comfortable with her.

South Korea Tour Nov 2023

Kory, was very good to us, very professional and accomodating and extremely patient. He showed us the best of South Korea in the short amount of time we had, would 100% travel again with this company in mind!

Seoul in a day

Started our day touring Gwangbokjong Palace. Our guide gave us historical info about the palace and the culture. Then we went to lunch, ofc it’s delicious korean bbq. Then he took us to Hongdae, Hanok Village and Insadong. It was a fun, informative day. Wil definitely do this again. But next time, will go to Busan!

Two day bus tour of Seoul

Sori Kim was our guide for 2 days (Nov05-06) visiting the DMZ, Blue House, Gyeongbokgung Palace, & Hanok Village. Sori recommended a great Korean BBQ restaurant for lunch. She was a very informative and pleasant guide

Spectacular summer vacation

I was referred to Korea Tour Company by a fellow Korean American friend who said his family had a fantastic time in Korea. I sent them an email and received a prompt reply. The service was outstanding from the very beginning. The planning/booking process was smooth and easy. Albert was great at answering all my questions and making great itinerary suggestions that were suitable for our entire family. After booking, Grey continued the excellent service while serving as our scheduling manager. My wife and I had a day to ourselves when a Korean family member offered to watch the kids for the day. Grey booked us a fantastic restaurant for dinner. Our guide was Sori. She was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and great with our kids. She showed us around Seoul in a way that would have been difficult to do on our own. As a Korean American, it was important for me to be able introduce our children to their roots, and Sori was the perfect guide to do so. At the end of the trip, the kids were sad they had to say goodbye. We will definitely be back in the future and will explore other parts of Korea with Korea Tour Company.
