Tour description

If you are interested in experiencing what really Seoul's young 20-30's are in for, this tour is for you.

Where we will explore:
We will explore the northern side of Seoul from Bukchon (meaning - 'Northern') Hanok Village and go around Gyeongbokgung Palace (the main palace) and finish around Seochon(meaning - 'Southern'). You will be able to capture your eyes on the traditional side of Seoul and how young people are developing their own culture there harmonizing with the traditional generation and culture.

What we will experience:
1. Good Coffee.
Coffee&Cafe culture is one of the big enthusiasm of Korean people these days. We can explore specialty coffee shops and some very trendy coffee shops where you can get good photos as well as some vibrant coffee menus.
2. Hanok Village Alleys.
My personal enthusiasm for traveling is about exploring. As well as the main tourist spots we will as a group explore together little alleys and meet the views of our personal choice and taste. Discover what YOU like about Seoul.
3. Authentic Food.
I am proud to say I AM A FOODIE. I am a great restaurant researcher only without official credential. LOL. You will get served what you wish to experience in Seoul restaurants. Of course we will move as a group, so my plan is to explore from very neat traditional restaurants to very down to earth traditinal food markets. To show you various side of Seoul cuisine. But, still I'm hoping to hear you out before the tour and plan out the meal course reflecting your taste and wishes as best as possible.
4. Seoul, the young generation.
I am 28 years old, girl-women who lived in Seoul for almost my entire life. I am full of questions and I like to be outgoing and active. I am very deeply part of Seoul's young generation culture.
Especially with my background working as a designer, made me culturally savvy. I have experience and experiencing even in this moment various parts of Seoul. From exclusive to down to earth parts, from modern to traditional, from crowded to contemplative.

Here, after long explanation, I will clear out and point out some key words of what kind of tour would likly to be.
* Culture / Food / Unique & Trendy savvy / Art / Design

The whole group was waiting for the guide and she didn't show up. We send message and she reply after 10 minutes saying she has often no show so she didn't bother to come.

There seems to have been a mix up in communication. Yoojin messaged me on Thursday, stating that he would see me ‘tomorrow at 3’ at assigned spot, but I did not receive email confirmation. There was no guide or tour at the assigned location & time. I messaged Yoojin but received no response. I tried to cancel Sunday’s tour, for which I had an email confirmation, but still received messages, so it was apparently not cancelled. I hope I’m not blacklisted!

Thanks to YooJin, for a great tour, and travel advice for other places to visit. I enjoyed the tour, the people and of course the food in the end of the tour, which unfortunately was without you, but we were completely full when we left.

Very disappointed with this service. I decided to register even after seeing the bad reviews but I should have listened to the people. The guide firstly changed the starting time for the tour and then cancelled it 30 minutes before it was supposed to start. I hurried to be there on time and only after arriving at the meeting point, did I notice it was cancelled. I could have stayed longer where I was if only I knew beforehand. Very bad customer experience!!!!
