Perfect for our 11 hour layover at Incheon. - Moonhat did a splendid job for us. We wanted to visit a few places off the normal tourist path and he customized our tour perfectly for our preferences. The drives to and from Seoul were informative and comfortable. Would recommend highly.

Great Layover day tour in Seoul - Mr. Song, our guide was a great guide for the day. My wife and I found him to be professional, courteous, intelligent and full of valuable information on Korea - it's history and culture. He was on time, responded to my inquiries promptly via What's App and has a large, clean, comfortable mini-van for transport. As an example of his service, I didn't realize that I had lost my selfie stick until I was unpacking in the US and he tracked it down to the restaurant we had lunch at and offered to mail it back.
If you have a day long layover in Seoul, definitely worth getting Mr. Song to take you out to see the Palace, local markets and sample Korean food.

Seoul Day Tour - This was a great tour! We had a 10 hr layover at Incheon and this was a perfect way to spend the day. Moonhak was so knowledgeable and shared all sorts of information about the city and country. It was so nice to have a small group on the palace tour. He was able to individualize the itinerary to fit our needs and picked an excellent local spot for lunch. The vehicle was clean and we felt safe the whole time. Definitely recommend!!!

Highly recommend if you have a layover in South Korea. - Our guide Song was very professional, punctual and knowledgeable. We learned a lot of about Korean history and culture. He made great recommendations on where to shop and eat. We wish we had more time to explore more, and we will definitely return again. Highly recommend to do this private tour so you are on your schedule. We never felt rushed and returned back to the airport on time in order to rest before our next flight. Thank you for the great experience!

Best way to spend on a long layover in Seoul. - The visit to the temple, we got to see the “changing of the guards” ceremony! Thanks to Mr. Song, we visited several sites around the city.

Great day trip from Incheon - Our guide, Moonhak, was very informative, friendly, and created a great day for us. He was easy to find outside of baggage claim and patient when we needed coffee and an arm before we hit the road. Once on our way, he showed us landmarks, told us history and generally just gave us the best tour possible.

Just perfect for a long layover!! - Perfect trip for a long layover in Seoul. We were not sure what to do on our layover and this was just what we wanted. Seoul is a great city and the tour covered the highlights and had time for lunch. Song was a great guide.
