Outstanding and excellent tour experience in DMZ
The Private DMZ Tour with Outdoors Korea was good as advertised but made into an outstanding & excellent tour experience by our Driving Guide - ALFO! He made the tour personalized & tailor-made to our preferences and pace. He was well informed and made the historical facts relevant, authentic and relatable to the current situation in Korea & the world. As the tour progressed, ALFO was more of a friend who is showing you around his country - His Homeland.

Seoul City Sightseeing Tour Including Gyeongbokgung Palace, N Seoul Tower, and Namsangol Hanok Village
The sightseeing was overall beautiful. They picked us up from our hotel and dropped off which is very nice touch! Our tour guide “Spring” was so nice. THE BUS SMELLS SO BAD WITH CIGARETTES. I think the driver was smoking inside the bus. Please clean your bus and spray to smells clean. NO ONE SHOULD BE SMOKING INSUDE THE BUS!
Great Experience

Seoul Night "Private Tour"(Korean BBQ, N-Tower, Seoul Fortress, Local Market)
We start with a typical Korean meal, very tasty and presented in detail by our guide Benny Kim. Then Mr. Benny spared no effort to take us to the best viewpoints of Seoul, since the access to the tower was closed due to the strong winds. Throughout the tour we learned a lot about the history of Korea as well as current curiosities! Super recommend!
Perfect way to see Seoul!

Seoul City Sightseeing Tour Including Gyeongbokgung Palace, N Seoul Tower, and Namsangol Hanok Village
This was an interesting tour. The Gyeongbokgung Palace and Namsangoi Hanok Village were highlights. The Seoul Tower was great but with a broken elevator, we were unable to actually go up to the viewing area. The Bhuddhist Temple was also interesting. Our guide, Julie was knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. I would recommend this tour.

Market Food Tour & Evening E bike Ride in Seoul
Highly recommended tour for those that enjoy seeing different neighbourhoods of Seoul at night. Night views were fantastic from Namsan and definitely for the experienced rider coming down the mountain! Vincent was very knowledgeable and friendly, even helped to get some fresh fruit at the local market. Would try the day tour next time as well.

Benny was prompt and spoke excellent English. The bbq restaurant he selected was wonderful. The best part was the Seoul Tower which gave fantastic views. He showed us the best vantage point to take our pictures. Night time was perfectly the best time to be at the Seoul Tower.

B J Kwon was a wonderful guide. The most memorable was our visit to the Korean War Memorial -- it is massive and impressive. One really gets the scope of the war and the speed by which tides turned.
