Alice: A Stellar Seoul Guide with Expertise, Kindness, and Professionalism

Reviewed May 20, 2025

We would like to express our appreciation for the service provided by our guide Yeongok Kim, who introduced herself to us as Alice, during our tour of Seoul. Her attitude was always attentive, kind, and professional, which helped ensure a pleasant and well-organized experience. Throughout the tour, Alice showed punctuality, order, and effective itinerary management. She adapted well to the group’s pace and was always willing to answer our questions and accommodate our needs, which we greatly appreciated. One of the highlights was her knowledge of Korean history, culture, and traditions. Her explanations were clear and informative, adding valuable context to the sites we visited and helping us gain a deeper understanding of the city. In addition, her interactions with the group were always respectful and friendly. She managed the group with discretion and good judgment, allowing the experience to flow smoothly and without issues. We sincerely thank her for her work and guidance. She was a reliable and professional guide, and we would certainly consider working with her again on future trips to South Korea.

ks to you, Harold, as the leader, communicating well with everyone. You love cooking, you know a lot about Korea, and you show such a deep appreciation for the country — I’m really grateful for that.

Touching Care and Genuine Passion: A Heartwarming Journey Through Korea

Reviewed May 9, 2025

I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional professionalism, dedication, and heartfelt care with which my mother and our group were treated throughout the entire trip. From the very beginning, everything was handled with such attention to detail and kindness that it gave me complete peace of mind, even from afar. I organized the trip for the group from Portugal and, thanks to the guide’s constant updates and photos sent via WhatsApp, I was able to follow their journey and feel part of every moment. It was clear that every step of the tour was thoughtfully planned, and the care shown to each traveler—especially my mother—was truly touching. This experience went far beyond a typical tour; it was filled with warmth, respect, and a genuine passion for sharing the beauty of Korea. I will forever be grateful and will carry Korea in my heart, hoping to return one day. Thank you so much, and please continue the wonderful work you do—you truly make a difference!

Enjoyable group cruise excursion from Sokcho

Reviewed April 25, 2025

Alice took 8 of us on a shore excursion when our cruise ship docked in Sokcho. She met us on time at 7am with a driver and minibus, having previously driven 3 hours from Seoul! Due to her great organisation, we arrived at Singheungsa Temple before any of the cruise ship excursions and it was very atmospheric to walk through without lots of people. The whole day ran without a hitch and Alice was the most lovely person to deal with. She provided us with a lot of interesting information about South Korea and the places we were visiting.

Alice: The Ultimate South Korean Tour Guide for an Unforgettable Experience!

Reviewed April 23, 2025

My husband and I shared an amazing 5 days in South Korea with Alice from Busan to Seoul (including Gyeongju, Tongyeong and Boseong Green Tea Field). Alice is a super driver, parker and organiser who took care of us with respect and kindness. Alice shared so much excellent information; she is a natural storyteller. Alice was keen that our interests were met and she also showed many other locations so we could learn more about Korean food and cultural matters. It was excellent to go outside the cities to see rural South Korea, and our hanok stay will be remembered forever. Thanks for taking photos of us and for all that you did to make our tour so special, Alice. We think fondly of you and miss you. Know that if you take a tour with Alice, you will have an amazing Korean experience.
