Thank you Joe! The tour guide joe is very knowledgeable. Learnt alot from him on this dmz trip. Joe is very attentive to our needs as well.

Beautiful and peaceful Jeju Cindy is the one tour guide you will need and want. She has all the local knowledge that can help with trip updates due to weather, whims and food cravings! We really enjoyed Jeju. Jeju is a beautiful and peaceful place. And even after the first time there, we still think it is necessary to have Cindy as a guide and local friend for our next trips!!

A great, easy, comfortable tour! We had a fantastic experience with John! My friend and I wanted to do a day trip from Seoul to see Hwanseongul Cave and Haesindang Park, and we were having trouble trying to find a driver who would take us such a far distance. John really stepped up to the plate and went above and beyond to get us there! He was communicative, prompt, and full of really useful knowledge about South Korea. We had an extremely comfortable and enjoyable ride and were able to see and do all we wanted to plus he took us to a delicious lunch at a local spot! We would highly recommend John, he made our day so fun and it was a great way to see South Korea in comfort!

The DMZ tour and more Thank you Joe Chu for making this day the best that it possibly could. The reason we chose to do a private tour versus a group tour was because we were hoping for more flexibility in what could be a dynamic schedule. We were correct!Visiting the DMC proper is more structured, but our private guide and driver Joe was able to add in elements before and after the formal tour, something not easy or even possible to do when you’re part of a larger group tour and it was those add-ons which enhanced our experience.The starting location we went to for the beginning of the organized bus portion of the DMZ Tour was also hosting a very large soybean festival at the time… Not only did Joe allow us to incorporate some time to enjoy the festival, but he was instrumental with helping us have an amazing lunch experience amongst the street food vendors at that event. And even shop and purchase items from vendors who had reportedly sold of certain items.He constantly surprised us with little food gifts along the way to help us with our authentic Korean experience. And was ready to do more for us at the drop of a dime.He was very prompt at picking us up at the hotel and supplied a vehicle, which was very clean and very safe.

Korea tour Mr Joe was amazing and took us all main places at our request. He made sure we were well taking care of all day. Surprise us with a drawing and made many memories. Definitely recommend and book him when you visit korea.

DMZ tour in Seoul Michele hong was on time and kind and courteous and very informative and patient with all our needs . She knew Korean history very well

Great time in S Korea Michell's English was great and she was wonderful with Koreas history. Took us to DMZ and anywhere else we wanted. Very patient and kind

Historic Seoul Joe took us to some beautiful spots and we were able to experience the real Korean vibeNight time is when the city's alive with food and shopping options

Book your private tour, you won’t regret it! I had a thoroughly wonderful time on my tour with my driver/guide, Jay! We covered everything on my itinerary plus he threw in some bonus places that were perfect for me and made the tour magical! He expertly navigated the streets of Seoul, provided interesting commentary to keep me interested and engaged and felt like my personal, professional photographer! Now I have excellent photos to look back on with fond memories! Thank you Jay and thank you This Is Korea tours!

Grateful Experience We were glad that we made this tour and our tour guide Joe is very helpful and accommodating in all our needs. We're very thankful. Hope we can travel back again and do this tour with This is Korea

Exceptional & Knowledgeable Guide Joe kept in contact with me on WhatsApp as soon as he was our designated guide. He messaged me as to where he was located with a photo for our hotel pickup. Joe has a wealth of knowledge about his country of South Korea. It was interesting learning about S. Korea’s history at the National Museum of History. He made sure to tell us where to meet if we got separated. We stopped at Changdeokgung Palace-one of the highlights of the tour for me. There was literally no parking to be found. Joe got our tickets so we could enter the palace grounds ourselves and he picked us up as soon as we texted him we were finished. A stop at HiKR Ground. Then onto Gwanjang Market where we bought souvenirs and yummy noodles with mandu. The great thing about having Joe as our guide is we didn’t feel rushed or made to keep a rigid schedule. I had mentioned it would be my birthday in a couple of days. He asked if he could make a quick stop. He returned with the sweetest birthday cake for me. We asked if we could bypass Meyeongdong Street for a stroll at the Han River. Joe waited at the van while we walked along the beautiful river at night. Then back to our hotel. A really wonderful tour with a flexible and knowledgeable guide.

Day trip outside the city Had a great time with the family! It was a relaxed trip. Our guide (Joe) made sure we maximized the time without missing the best spots! Joe was very friendly and attentive to our requitements. Will definitely go back.

Amazing Korea, Yours to Explore Seoul is a great city to visit. Its streets are clean, its citizens law- abiding and courteous.Korea is truly a land of morning calm as we experienced the hikes in the mountains, featuring the spellbinding natural beauty of picturesque high mountains and clear waters and its splendid tranquillity. The weather in Autumn is pleasantly cool to our comfort. We took many photos of the places of attractions like the Joseon Dynasty Palace and the Korean Folks Village .It makes your journey very pleasant as toilets are clean and properly maintained.The city is bountiful in merchandise shops, eating outlets and western style Cafes.The seafood we ate at the fish market is fantastic and reasonably priced. Korean Food though is generally more hot and spicy.As English is a universal language, suggest to have English translations alongside the Korean language in signage, public notices and descriptive information.Joe Sang did a fantastic job in being our tour guide. He is knowledgeable about the history of Korea, its culture and its geography. He loves and performs his job with enthusiasm and good cheer. What impresses us about Joe is that he treats us as family such that we have become fast family friends.All in all, Joe made our family trip so memorable and inspiring.We certainly will encourage our folks back home to visit Seoul and Korea.감사합니다gamsahabnida

Thank you John for being very accommodating! We had a wonderful Seoul tour and experience with you. Highly recommended!

Did a two day tour of Seoul. Our guide Gwany Hong was excellent. Knew Seoul and its history. Our second day was a BTS tour which was my favorite. He gave great recommendations for food and shopping. We were able to see all the major highlights of the city. Plan on returning to Seoul and will definitely book our same guide. 5 Stars!!!!!

We were lucky to have Lucy for two days as our tour guide in Busan. She was outstanding and shared her knowledge of Busan and its amazing culture. She really connected with our family and was able to engage with my daughters, ages 5 and 7. We had our best meals and desserts with her! Even though we were challenged with the weather, Lucy made sure we had a memorable experience! Thank you, Lucy!

John made our trip such a memorable experience! He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoyed everything Korea had to offer. Every recommendation was so on point amazing and he was very flexible with any special requests we had. Not to mention how nice and funny he is! We would love to tour with him again in the future. Thank you John!

John picked us up at our hotel and had a well-planned day set out for us, with plenty of stops for food, interesting and notable places, and suggestions for that were interesting for us and for our teenage sons. He engaged each one of us and made every effort to connect amicably, showing genuine interest and encouraged us to try new foods. He is knowledgable, respectful, and friendly and all of those qualities make him an excellent our guide and a wonderful representative of seoul to make tourists feel welcome. Having john as our private tour guide for the day was the perfect way to see the city and access things we would never otherwise have known to see, try, or do. Thank you JOHN!!!

Fantastic day in Busan. Our guide, Lucy, was awesome. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her.

Lucy was an amazing guide for our time in Busan! She is very courteous and treated us like her own family. Extremely knowledgeable about the places we visited! When I visit Busan again, I am definitely looking forward to visiting more places with Lucy! Highly recommend her if she is available to show you around!

Our tour guide, John, was the best! Not only did he share so many facts about Korean culture, he was also very accommodating to us. My aunts liked to joke around and ask many questions, and he hopped along with them (us) and was very patient too! Our experience in our dream country destination became extra fun and memorable Thank you, John the Great! Kamsahamnidaaa!

We were very satisfied with This is Korea! Kevin was very responsive during the early communications. Planning and scheduling of the trip were also easy. Our guide, Andy, was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We definitely had a wonderful time during the tours. Highly recommend 👍🏻
