So responsive it's unbelievable! - We found This is Korea on Google and highly recommend booking with them for a private tour. Albert was helpful and accommodating from the start and helped tweaked our 2 days itinerary in Jeju. Bruce was always responsive and helped us with discounted Everland tickets in Seoul - he literally responds immediately on receiving my emails! The celebrity vans for airport transfers were more than enough to accommodate a family of 8 with 10 pieces of luggage - they were clean and spacious and came with a big TV screen for long rides. Our driver cum guide in Jeju, Cindy, was very responsive and contacted us the night before to confirm timings, pickup and itinerary. Cindy is a local who knows Jeju like the back of her hand and has all the restaurants on speed dial on her phone. It was raining the first day in Jeju and she switched our itinerary to ensure we visited all the attractions. Not speaking the language, we would have wasted a lot of time without her purchasing tickets and translating for us! The other drivers in Seoul were extremely kind and accommodating esp on the day we were more than 1h late due to the long queues at Everland. Some may find their pricing to be more than than other service providers but trust me, they are so reliable and responsive it's worth every extra cent. Who wants to be stressed about the mundane while on holiday. Most amazing thing is all the trip planning was remote, via email!

Private Solo Tour - Jeju, Busan, and Seoul - I had the pleasure of working with This Is Korea tours in April during my 2 week trip to Korea and I had an amazing time. Albert and Harry helped set up my tour; they were very prompt with their replies and were able to accommodate multiple specific requests that I had as well. The price was more than fair considering everything that I accomplished. Here's a few short sentences about each location. Jeju: My guide Janice was absolutely fantastic. She arrived on time, knew about what I wanted to do beforehand, and was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Her English is great and she has a lot of knowledge about every place that we went to. Not only that, but I really enjoyed our casual conversations as well. She made me feel like I was at home during my time in Jeju, and she even helped me find a bar that I wanted to go to on my off day where I was on my own, so that was very great of her to do so. The highlights I ended up visiting were the lava tube cave, Sunrise Peak, eating at a black pork restaurant, watching the famous women diver show, and driving through the "Mysterious Road." Busan: My guide Peter was also very good; he's a very interesting guy with a great life story, so if you are lucky enough to get him please ask questions, you won't be disappointed. He was immensely helpful in guiding me through Gamcheon Culture Village and was nice enough to get up early for a sunrise visit to Haedong Yonggungsa Temple. My time in Busan was short, but it was excellent and I got to see everything that I wanted. Seoul: I had one free day in Seoul that I also used for a guided tour with This Is Korea. My guide Don also did a great job overall. He has an excellent amount of knowledge of every place we went to, and knew the best routes to get there to avoid the heavy Seoul traffic. He even recommended other places to stop at since we had plenty of extra time, and I think he also stayed longer than he needed to, which I greatly appreciated. Overall Don did a great job and I was impressed by his knowledge of everything, and he also had a lot of insights about living in Seoul and how it works to rent an apartment. Very fascinating to me and I'm grateful for the information. My stops were the usual requested ones that I'm sure a lot of people go to, but they were all still very special to me, including Bukchon Hanok Village, Starfield Library, and the Gyeongbokgung Palace. I would not hesitate to work with This Is Korea again in the future if I ever am fortunate enough to come back to Korea. Thanks again!

Best way to see jeju - Andrew was a wonderful tour guide. We had suggestions on where to go but he had one improvement on a site. He said there was some place better. And he was right! Thank you Andrew! This was the best way to see jeju. Highly recommend to see places without worrying about driving, parking or directions!

Lighthouses in Jeju, South Korea - Camilla did a wonderful job of showing us the lighthouses of Jeju. She stopped in spots that enabled us to get very good photos.
