This was a great way to see everything I wanted to see in Seoul at my pace and on my schedule. I learned a lot from Eddie and he took the time to really customize the experience for me. Highly recommend,

The tour was more than what we bargained for. I have traveled to different parts of the world and had a tour guide and no one beats the professionalism and charm that Joseph has. Spending time with Joseph gave us an insight of the history of Korea, especially the tour of the Gyeongbokyung Palace and the changing of the guards. We got not only a guide but also a professional photographer. This tour will be one of the most memorable of all.

We were very dissappointed with the guide. She was a uniquely poor communicator of the sites, historical periods and the dates and often confused periods. At the palaces she could not communicate basic information and added no value versus visiting without a guide. At one site she could not find parking so we just toured on our own. She was helpful in the food market, but still could have added more context.
PLK needs to vet their guides much more carefully.
PLK was also a poor fit which was my fault. They insisted we could not do this as a walking tour and was not flexible. The reality is that four sites we visited would have been very walkable and would have saved us and the guide driving and searching for parking.

Our family with my senior parents had an amazing day with Joseph! He was friendly, patient, on-time, flexible, respectful and knowledgeable. We sent a set itinerary (Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village and Myeondong Shopping Street) and important points we hope to accomplish during each site around Seoul. Joseph took many pictures and videos of us which were amazing. We did not expect this from him, but it was a bonus that Joseph was our private photographer as well. He also recommended restaurants to eat which were delicious and other must-see shopping areas we should check out while in Seoul. Thank you Joseph! Highly recommend PLK Travel and our tour guide, Joseph!

A great experience in choosing your own trips with an educated and passionate guide. My nephew and i chose 1. Insadong,
2. Bukchon Hanok Village,
3.Gyeongbokgung Palace,
4. Myeongdong Shopping Street. Marie was so accommodating and welcoming. She was sincere in making sure our experiences were both memorable and joyful. She was gracious enough to take pictures for us and guide us to a fantastic eatery that my nephew thoroughly enjoyed.

Sebastian, our tour guide, put us at ease in our first day in Seoul helping us get our currency exchanged and showing us his favorite place to eat - amazing tokbokki! - and how to order and pickup food in the food court at Coex Mall. He was warm and friendly and took us exactly where we wanted to go, adjusting based on our preferences and never rushing us! Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to explore Seoul in a customized way.

Best experience ever! I’m so happy I booked a private tour with PLK. I was traveling with my elderly parents and our tour guide, Sebastian is the best. Touring soul in a clean with really good AC private van is the way to go. Our tour is personalized, it feels like a friend is showing us around town. Our tour guide is so nice and knows the ins and out of the city by heart. He gives us extra detours to secret/local spots, shows us how to get to places with less stairs, and the best part is having a local showing us where the best local foods are. Will definitely book again and I highly recommend to everyone.

We booked this tour at short notice and were not disappointed. Joseph, our guide, was punctual and made a couple of suggestions around changing the itinerary based on what we would be interested in (choosing the 4 venues was the hardest part of the booking). Highlights were the Bukchon Hanok village and Gyeongbokgung Palace - both of which involve a fair bit of walking. Joseph was very personable and generous with sharing his advice about other general experiences in Korea, especially around what and where to eat Korean food. Overall a very good experience.
