Experience the best of
Seoul with Withlocals

"Rossi delivered an outstanding customized tour for our family, thoughtfully tailoring the experience to include our requested stops at Cheonggyecheon Stream, Gwangjang Market, and Dongdaemun Design Plaza, along with notable landmarks along the way. The tour was well-paced, engaging, and informative, and Rossi was always ready to capture special family moments with photos and helpful commentary throughout the journey. We highly recommend him for anyone looking for a personalized and memorable tour experience."

"We had a lovely day with Juli exploring and learning about the landmarks and history of Seoul. She also had wonderful local food recommendations. We enjoyed our time with Juli immensely."

"The tour with Ho Jin was a delight. Ho Jin is very friendly, knows great spots in the city, and is very patient. He speaks excellent English and Spanish. Thank you so much for the wonderful day!"

"Chris Lee guided us today through Namdaemun Market and its winding alleys — a sensory journey into the soul of Korean cuisine. Between steaming bowls of broth, mandu, the spicy aroma of tteokbokki, and the savory sizzle of fish cakes (odeng), every step became a small discovery. The experience was seasoned not only with gochugaru and sesame oil, but with his stories — quiet, warm, and full of life. Chris doesn’t just know the best stalls; he knows the people behind them. And perhaps that’s exactly it: this web of encounters, glances, and smiles that, for a moment, makes you part of it. You arrive as a visitor — and are welcomed like an old friend. His introduction to Korean culture felt like a perfectly composed banchan arrangement: diverse, surprising, and served with great attention to detail."

"Jin is a walking encyclopedia for Korea. Super passionate about Seoul. Most importantly, he was very kind and patient. I visited with my parents and he customized the pace of the tour to their needs. He took us to a restaurant known for soup we’ve never tried and wouldn’t have found on our own. Best guide for first time visitors. Thank you Jin! "

"Thomas is a delightful,lovely man and I would recommend him highly. He has a great sense of humor and laugh. He is generous in spirit and was responsive to our needs, coming to our hotel which made it much easier for us. I wish him well and thank him for a great introduction to Seoul."

"Our family of 5 (including two teens and a 5 y.o.) booked a full day Seoul tour with Jason. We had a terrific time! Jason really knows his way around the city; he showed us the highlights of the city, and also allowed us to customize our experience. Jason is fluent in English, has a great sense of humor, and he is incredibly easy-going. We highly recommend partnering with Jason the next time you're in town!"

"We booked our tour with Jason on our first day in Seoul. Jason met us at our hotel and helped us navigate the metro to arrive at our first destination. He was informative and took us to a good combination of historic and modern areas. He also takes great photos. Jason passed on many recommendations for restaurants and other spots to see. "

"Jason took us to interesting places and was great! He also gave us great tips what to do before and after the tour. "

"We spent the day with Thomas yesterday from airport pickup to evening check-in at our downtown hotel. He had a comfortable van and saved us immediately from the cold with hand warmers! We visited the DMZ at the pace that we prefer which is to move past larger groups! Very interesting history! We then had a delicious and very Local lunch which included fern and river snails among the dishes! Actually excellent! ( there were less exotic options) After seeing a vista of the city which is so expansive, we concluded with a tour of the royal palace which is also a don't miss even if you think you have seen too many palaces! All along the way Thomas took memorable photos of us . We appreciated that he knew the best places ! A big thanks to Thomas for making our short stay in Seoul a great memory! A note here.. we had only a short time in Seoul so we were willing to pay a premium to maximum our experience. We appreciated being able to time this visit and what we saw!"
