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
