Hannie did such a great job planning our tours in Korea and picked the best guides and drivers for our family. She was also always available whenever we had questions, both before and during our trip, which we really appreciated.

For our guided day in Busan, our guide was Ms. Son Eunjeong, and she was absolutely wonderful. She was so good with our kids and made the day fun and interesting for everyone. We explored the market, visited Gamcheon Culture Village, rode the beach train, and learned so much about the history of Busan. She knew all the best photo spots and took lots of family pictures for us throughout the day, which we really appreciated. She also recommended some great ice cream that the kids loved. At the market, she even helped my husband find a pair of shoes he was looking for.

Our driver in Busan was wonderful too. She was a very safe and careful driver, and we really appreciated that she had a car seat ready for our child. We felt very comfortable with her driving us around all day.

In Seoul, Hannie booked a food tour for us with Jay, who was also fantastic. He was flexible, great with the kids, and had so many good recommendations. Our kids still talk about the donuts he got for them and the dried strawberries we found at the market! He even arranged a stop at an art museum for our kids, which was such a thoughtful addition to the day.

We really appreciated how well Hannie matched us with guides and drivers who understood what works for a family traveling with kids. Everything felt personal and well planned, and knowing Hannie was always available if we needed anything made the trip that much easier. We had a great experience in both Busan and Seoul and would definitely recommend her.

Hi Meghan and Matt,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a beautiful, detailed review. It genuinely made my day! I've read it more than once, and I keep smiling picturing your family's day with Eunjeong and Jay.

My team and I are beyond happy to know you had such a wonderful experience across Seoul and Busan, and that what left the strongest, most lasting impression on you were the people of South Korea. That's exactly what we hope every family feels — that the trip becomes less about the itinerary and more about the people who made it special. Hearing about the beach train, the market adventures, the ice cream, the donuts and dried strawberries, and even that impromptu shoe hunt with your husband made us smile so much.

I'll admit, there were a few hiccups along the way that honestly had me worried we hadn't fully lived up to what your family deserved. So it means the world to me that you were gracious and kind enough to still recommend us despite that. It's a real gift, and I don't take it for granted.

Thank you again for trusting us with your family's trip, and for the care you put into sharing your experience. We would be so happy to welcome you back to Korea again soon — please know we'll be here whenever you're ready for the next adventure.

With gratitude,
Hannie

From day 1, she was interested in my goals of the trip which was - not bouncing from one place to the next and not going one day after another without any rest. Days were flexible where if I wanted a free day, I could have a free day. Her responses were prompt and if they weren't she assured when she would respond.

Hi Janet,

Greetings from Jessica.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience!

It was truly a pleasure helping you plan your trip to Seoul. I'm so glad to hear that you felt listened to and that the itinerary reflected what was most important to you. My goal is always to create a trip that suits each traveler's own interests and pace, so it means a lot to know that you enjoyed having the flexibility to explore and relax without feeling rushed.

I also really appreciate your feedback about Orakai Insadong Suites. I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed the location, room options, and service. At the same time, I'm sorry to hear that the cleanliness of your unit didn't meet expectations, especially regarding the condition of the room and the dishes. I'll certainly keep this feedback in mind when recommending accommodations and will share it with the hotel where appropriate.

Thank you again for trusting me with your trip. I hope you came home with wonderful memories of Seoul, and I'd love to help you plan your next adventure like Japan, China, Singapore and more destinations in Asia whenever you're ready!

I needed help choosing hotels, and Jessica booked great ones for us! She also chose knowledgeable private tour guides who made our trip fabulous. We really enjoyed her help booking an intimate traditional music concert for us music lovers! We felt especially well taken care of because Jessica booked great transfers, internal flights, and tour guides for us. Thanks Kim Kim.

My two daughters and I loved our three days in Seoul with our Tour Guide Sebastian. Sebastian expertly guided us to the sites we had requested and advised us on the best views. He even took a bunch of photos for us so we have great family pics. Sebastian also gave us great restaurant suggestions. One day, we had outdoor plans, and we were discouraged because it was raining heavily. Sebastian suggested fabulous alternative options so we could make the best of our schedule. One of his ideas was a bird sanctuary. He’d been paying attention and knew we loved birds! He saved the day! Sebastian was fabulous!

Danny was a fabulous tour guide for my daughters and me in Gyeongyu and Busan, South Korea. Danny noticed our interest in some particular historical sites and guided us through a local museum so that we could fully understand the region. It was awesome. He ushered us into a fabulous beef soup restaurant that was both economical and delicious. On our final day in Busan, he made it possible for us to visit the three temples we wanted to see with appropriate pacing for all the hiking. Danny did a great job helping us focus our touring on what we really wanted to see. Danny was a kind, fabulous expert!

Jimmie was an excellent tour guide on Jeju Island. He grew up in Jeju, so he told us about both modern and historical Jeju! He got us addicted to Black Pork and helped us find fabulous restaurants to eat well. Each day, he remained flexible about our plans so that we could enjoy the best activities at the right times of day. Jimmie made us feel like we were his guests in his hometown.
