South Korea Travel Agents

This was a private guided tour. Jessica was great in answering our questions and providing details on the itinerary. She also checked on us at the end of the day which was really appreciated.

Our 2 guides did a great job. They were on time and flexible.

Kimkim Travel / Odynovo Tours was an excellent company to work with and Christine Liu, my travel specialist, was very friendly, professional and helpful throughout all stages of my trip, from planning through return. She helped schedule changes and provided great tips as well. All the guides and drivers were very trustworthy, kind and professional. April Lee guided me in Seoul and was friendly and made great suggestions, including trying on Hanok style clothing at the Palace, which was fun and memorable. Joe guided me through Jeonju and Gyeongju and had a wealth of information about history and many facets of the areas we traveled in, he was a very friendly and trustworthy and professional guide. Ryan Lee guided me through Busan and showed me many areas of that great city, providing information only someone from the area would know; he was also friendly, professional and trustworthy. The drivers, Mr. Yoon, Mr. Shin and Mr. Kang were also excellent and professional and friendly. The trip was very enjoyable and I highly recommend kimkim travel / Odynovo Tours if you want to go to South Korea & Asia. One of my favorite excursions was to Yongin Dae Geum Park to see where some historical K dramas were filmed, and the guide, Anna Kim was also very friendly and helpful. How many ways can I say great and thank you!

It was a pleasure working with Christine Liu in planning our first-ever trip to South Korea. She listened to our interests and budget in planning our 12 days visiting Seoul, Busan, and Jeju Island. Her prompt and thoughtful responses to the numerous and myriad questions we had over the few months of planning were greatly appreciated. She was ever patient with two women who peppered her with questions and requests!

Similarly our private guides in Seoul (Billy), Busan (Fred), and on Jeju (Yuna) were excellent. Of course we expected them to be knowledgeable, experienced guides as a baseline. But ALL THREE demonstrated keen interest in ensuring we enjoyed ourselves, anticipated our interests and accommodated us without disappointment. E.g. searching for the best salt bread, guiding us through markets with a "local" feel, helping us rent our hanbok, taking plenty of photos, making thoughtful suggestions on how to maximize our experiences, and more. Also a shout-out to our medical concierge (James) and translator (Clara) who were indispensable in arranging our day of K-beauty treatments. With only one-day, James helped select a very excellent medical clinic for non-invasive facial treatments and scalp treatments. BTW, all highly effective and enjoyable.

I have already recommended KimKim to friends who are interested in engaging travel planning and I will not hesitate to utilize KimKim again as well. As a retiree in my early 70's, it is comforting to know I have a trusted travel company that can help ensure a smooth, safe, and enjoyable trip when venturing into new countries - especially when a potential challenge with a foreign language is a factor.

Thank you KimKim! Thank you Christine! Thank you Billy, James, Clara, Fred, and Yuna! I will never forget my experiences in South Korea; in large part and thanks to your guidance!

Great trip. Thanks for being flexible when we needed to change things because of my mom's medical emergency.

Our two guides were great. Sebastian, in particular, was one of our favorite guides of all time.

Our daily guide Hera was fantastic! She kept us on track and served as an incredible host for her country. Additionally, our travel agent Christine was so detailed and flexible. Such an incredible team!
