We booked this tour at short notice and were not disappointed. Joseph, our guide, was punctual and made a couple of suggestions around changing the itinerary based on what we would be interested in (choosing the 4 venues was the hardest part of the booking). Highlights were the Bukchon Hanok village and Gyeongbokgung Palace - both of which involve a fair bit of walking. Joseph was very personable and generous with sharing his advice about other general experiences in Korea, especially around what and where to eat Korean food. Overall a very good experience.

We selected the Gyeongbokgung Royal Palace, the Bukchon hanok village, Itaewon-dong, the Namdaemun market, and Hongdae Street in the university district. This worked out very well for us. Our guide Taylor was very conversant with the history and features of the palace, while the other four places were far enough from our hotel that we might not have gotten there by ourselves--and they were very interesting! Taylor's English was easy to understand, and he was very accommodating. We'd recommend him to anyone. The one thing that might have been a little better was that we saw only a few houses in the Bukchon village but didn't find out till afterwards that there was also a commercial area we might have enjoyed.
