Fun filled Jeju with friends and family We were a group of 12, family and friends. Our tour guide and driver was Cindy. She is amazing, very informative, helpful and courteous. We had a great time for 4 days in Jeju. Really recommend her.

Joe is very good Joe was a very good guide. Patient and knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely engage him again in future if we return to Seoul

Worth visiting Amazing tour! It was great to hear the incredible history and take in the beautiful views and architecture. Our tour guide, Joe was definitely one of the highlights of our visit! Joe's ability to communicate the vibrant history of the attractions we were visiting, whilst not making it boring was very refreshing. He frequently went above and beyond in order to get us in front of the line of most attractions. Not only that, but he was quick to snap some wonderful photos of our family. He was considerate to our needs as we had young kids travelling with us. He was also great with showing us and getting us to try local foods.The tour and our tour guide are enough to make us visit Seoul again!

Great service! Well organized and professional service from James and Bruce. They put together a great personalized itinerary at a reasonable price and we’re very responsive. I highly recommend this company.

Fabulous tour! Our tour with our guide Kori was exceptional. It was so beneficial to have him with not only incredible knowledge, but also flexibility and catering the experience to our family as a first time visit to Seoul. We not only got to see historic sites, but also shopping districts and special unique features that would be hard to go to without someone that has experience. I highly recommend this agency and our guide!

Very friendly tour guide who enjoys his what he does making our trip much more enjoyable Our driver was extremely nice and gave us a historical tour of Seoul as we drove to each of our destinations which was unexpected since we did not expect a guided tour. Very friendly from the time we were picked up and during the tour, offered us rest or refreshment stops if needed. He also suggested additional stops based on the available time remaining and truly wanted us to see as much of Seoul as possible.

Joe is wonderful! We did a 2 day private tour of Seoul with Joe, and we thought he was wonderful! He knows all the best places to go, and he makes everything so fun. He keeps the tour flexible, so you can add or skip things as you like. We’re so glad that he was our guide, and we highly recommend him!

Guide made my trip Enjoyable. Our Guide Jay Park is proficient in English. He is knowledgeable. The coordinator Ray Oh communicated via whatsap to confirm my itinerary and quote. He then linked me to our licensed guide cum driver. He picked us at airport, checked in hotel, proceeded with city tour to the palaces. To view Buchong, eat Korean food and meongdong and DDP. It was a day well spent. Highly recommend

Excellent job!! This is Korea tour company is absolutely great to deal with. Communication with them was very fluid from start to finish. They helped me with a major change in my booking. Thank you!!!As for the guide/driver, I could not ask for a better one!! This young man, Andy did everything he could to please us. Our disembarkation time was delayed due to the fog and Andy was there for me reassuring that everything will be okay. He waited patiently and met us with a big smile on his face!! The 2 day tours were excellent. Andy offered a lot of wonderful information about Nami Island and about South Korea as a whole. He's very professional and very smart. As an added bonus, he offered to be our photographer. That was a pleasant surprise. For sure, this company will be highly recommended. Thank you Andy! I give you a 10 and to This is Korea Tour Company, you have great people working for you!!

We had a fabulous day with Joe as our tour guide! We had a wonderful day in Seoul with Joe as our tour guide. He filled the day with highlights from the Changing of the Guard at Gyeongbokgung Palace to Isadong St and Gwangjang Market. Joe organised a traditional Sth Korean lunch which was delicious and then happily extended our tour because our cruise ship was late docking, so he took us to an amazing lookout over Seoul. Nothing was too much trouble for this tremendous fellow!

Great service and flexibility We did a custom version of this tour with Joe and really enjoyed it! He was very hospitable and gave us a nice souvenir for us to remember Korea.

Best winter ever! Mr Kevin was our tourguide for 3 days during our stay in Korea. He was well organized, was on time and very professional. I will recommend him as tourguide in Korea. 5 stars for him. We had so much time during our vacation.

10/10 - Best experience ever thanks to Joe! If you’re thinking about booking this private tour, you MUST. First time visiting Soeul, and we had Joe as our driver, and he truly made our day a special one to remember. Constantly going out of his way to give us the best experience possible. Great recommendations for activities and food spots, amazing photographer that always knew where the best photo spots were, and the friendliest guide we have ever had. We were able to fit into our day the activities we had requested, as well as more! Please if you’re coming for a visit book this and request Joe, was such a great and fun day that everyone should experience.

Helpful and kind Joe was very kind to drive me from Incheon Airport to my destination in Pyeongtaek, with extended stops along the way to walk and talk through the UNESCO site Hwaesong Fortress and the nearby museum about the fortress which is well worth some time. We also stopped for lunch in a small, local spot; lunch was delicious. Joe also, at my request, helped me see up a T money card. A kind and helpful gentleman.

정말 멋진 경험이었어요. 이곳을 선택한 게 행운이에요.

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

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. ...

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!!!!!

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!

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!

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

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!!!

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!
