Ben was our host and he was wonderful! Went to a Local market and he ordered items he liked. A little bit of everything. He tried to think of items and destinations near our hotel since we were traveling with our kids. Our son didn’t want to try anything and Ben was very patient and kind to him.

Her storytelling kept my children engaged. This experience offered a perfect blend of famous landmarks and authentic local experiences, all while overcoming language barriers. For families seeking a stress-free, enriching exploration of Seoul, this tour is an absolute must, creating lasting memories and a deeper appreciation of the city's rich culture and vibrant present.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

GJ was an amazing local tour guide with solid English. She was very friendly energetic, and knowledgeable. She taught us so much about the history of the city. She took a ton of fun and creative pictures of me and my family. She thoughtfully brought a heart locket for us to write on and hang at N Seoul Tower. She even provided us with classic red bean jelly snacks. GJ is passionate about providing tours and loves people. She had a wonderful sense of humor and made our stay memorable!

Johnnie was a great kid but he had very little knowledge about Korean culture, history and tradition. We didn’t not mind walking but walking for over 30 minutes from point A to B in the blazing sun was exhausting! This did not maximize our time. We ended the tour early. We could’ve dot this tour on our own. City Unscripted is not for us. What a waste of our time and money!

We love taking City Unscripted tours when we are visiting a new place - the customization and expertise of the guides can't be beat! Our guide on Seoul, Arnaud, was so knowledgeable about the city and took us to some wonderful places that we would not have known to look for. The couple of hours we spent with him felt more like time spent with a friend from Seoul than a tour guide. I highly recommend using City Unscripted (and asking for Arnaud) when you are visiting Seoul!

This tour definitely covered a lot of area. We saw things/places that we probably would not have found on our own. A lot of walking. Opportunities to take buses as well for some places. It was quite warm.
A bit difficult to understand our guide.

It was a little bit of too much walking for me during my guided tour so I suggested to take a taxi to the next location. My guide was very flexible and very patient with me, and I liked that about her. Switching up the tourist attraction spots also was not a problem for her. I can recommend GJ as a tour guide, she is very bubbly, full of energy and wisdom.

Great tour, especially like Bukchon Hanok. The changing of the guard was less interesting. Guide was knowledgeable. Fantastic
