Our week in Seoul was more than we ever could have imagined. Prior to our trip, we had lots of questions and Jessica answered every question thoroughly and completely. From the moment we arrived at the airport, we were picked up and driven to our hotel which was perfect! It was so nice and perfectly located to everything we could want or need. Our private guide, Hera Kim, picked us up on our first day and we were off and running. Gyeongbokgung Palace and hanbok rental was our first adventure and she guided us through and explained the history behind it all. Everything we did and everywhere we went, she gave us detailed information and descriptions. I felt super comfortable with her and we became good friends! Also, our private cooking class with Yum2Lab, Esda, was incredible. We were lucky enough to be in the class by ourselves so she gave us her undivided attention and we learned so much. The meal we prepared was delicious and she explained everything and was so sweet and friendly.

If we ever return to Seoul, we will definitely go through kimkim again and request the services of Hera. She was absolutely incredible! She took all the pictures we could have asked for without having to ask! Our day at the DMZ was amazing. Although fast paced and busy, we could not have navigated that without her. We learned so much from her and hope anyone who visits Seoul can have someone like her to guide them through. It's always a challenge traveling to a foreign place but she made us feel right at home and like a great friend!

We enjoyed the hotel very much. The staff was super helpful and friendly. We spent a little time in the hotel bar and the lovely young lady who waited on us both times was incredible. So sweet and friendly!

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Esda was incredible. We took taxi and he was a little hard to communicate with and had trouble finding the place but we eventually made it.

Transport

It was a bit confusing trying to get to the location. We were not aware that we had to arrange our travel on our own. The hotel called the taxi for us but the driver had some trouble locating the address. Thankfully, our cooking instructor was waiting for us and even called to make sure we were coming.

Hera Kim gave us a quick history recap before we left and was right by our side for the entire day. We could not have done it without her help!

Our trip to South Korea was amazing and KimKim did an excellent job helping us curate our vacation to meet our wish to experience the culture and history of the country. Our guide in Seoul, Jones, made some extra suggestions as he got to know us and our interest in K-pop and K-dramas. Both Jones and Jay gave excellent restaurant recommendations. We loved the cooking class with Sarah. Christine responded to our questions in a timely manner and made sure we had the information we needed.

We loved our experience with KimKim in Korea and really enjoyed our guides in both Seoul (Jones) and Busan (Luke). They were extremely knowledgeable and took their jobs very seriously. They were also extremely pleasant. Everything worked out really well and they did a wonderful job of maximising the number of experiences without sacrificing on quality of the time. Christine was great to work with and did a nice job of figuring out all of the logistics for us.
We highly recommend KimKim and its staff.

We just returned from our two week trip to Korea and had an amazing time! We traveled as a group of seven, including three teenagers and my 81 yr old mom. All the hotels we stayed in were comfortable and well located and all our drivers were experienced and knowledgeable and kind. Jessica was great to work with from day one when we started planning the trip and was always quick to respond to any changes to our itinerary or issues that arise during our trip. Our trip was tricky because we had to make everyone happy, and she listened to my concerns and accommodated everyone's requests. We would highly recommend kimkim and our travel agent Jessica for anyone traveling to South Korea!
