Kris did an excellent job showing us the sights, sounds and most importantly, tastes of Seoul and the surrounding areas. for 4 days, he walked with us, ate with us and explained the history and culture of the places we visited. extremely grateful he took so many photos because they'll go a long way in preserving the wonderful memories. he went out of his way to ensure we were happy and satisfied, even bringing us homemade treats (very yummy) after a casual conversation about where to buy dried fruit. we tend to join private tours whenever we visit a country for the first time and Kris ranks as one of the best guides we've had the privilege to encounter on our travels.
