Unforgettable Seoul: Private 4-Hr Local Hidden Gems Tour

Jeeseon was a great guide and our family of four really enjoyed the tour she planned out for us. We walked through the city and got to have a great variety of experiences - street markets, old village, learned a little bit about K-pop, and palaces - and all this within the four hours we had booked with her. She was friendly and personable and kept the tour interesting for our 17 and 13 year old sons. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic city tour with GJ, and she truly made the experience memorable. She was extremely enthusiastic from the moment we met her, and her energy kept the entire tour lively and engaging. GJ is incredibly knowledgeable—she shared fascinating insights, local stories, and historical details that added so much depth to each stop. She handled our questions with ease and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves throughout. Overall, it was an excellent tour, and GJ’s passion for her city really shone through. We would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Seoul and looking for an informative, fun, and well-guided experience.

I had so much fun with my wonderful guide GJ! The sites were wonderful but so was the great discussion and learning shared along the way.

Jeeseon Choi was my guide for a 6hr walking tour. She was an excellent guide who was knowledgeable about the various places we visited and brought me to places that were less crowded and somewhat off the beaten track. She indulged my request for Yukhoe (seasoned raw beef) and brought me to a very local place to try it...to die for. The concept of thrifing in Seoul is at the next level and I now know where the old Korean men hangout in the afternoons to give their wives a break!

Jay was fantastic starting with when we first signed up all the way through our experience. He was fantastic at communicating and finding out our preferences in advance. He met us right in our hotel lobby and personalized the entire tour experience. He is super knowledgeable and also was very good at taking photographs!

I really enjoyed my private tour with GJ 👏🏻 she was very kind and gave me a customized experience. She was really open for any questions and showed me a lot of places I wouldn’t have found myself. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

GJ was an excellent guide. I chose the Hidden Gems option vs the more "touristy" option and she did not disappoint. It was well worth the investment to have local knowledge to expand on the history and significance as well as provide inside data on living in Seoul. Plus, I feel like I made a new friend and hope to do it again on my next trip!

We had a private guided tour with guide, Jaen. He was very professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. He made some suggestions that we gladly accepted in order to maximize our sightseeing experience. In his pleasant ways, he gave us a broad overview of many sites and interesting areas of Seoul and provided us with valuable information that we would never have known about without his explanation. We would highly recommend this tour!

I had an amazing tour of Seoul with GJ my guide with City Unscripted. Her knowledge of Korean history and culture of the city was awesome as well as her English!! I highly recommend her!!

We had JS as a guide. She made the effort to reach out beforehand to understand our tour preferences better (separate from the questionnaire), which was really appreciated. She also had very good English despite never having lived outside of Korea. The tour involved a lot of walking and took us from the main palace in Seoul to Hanok Village to the DDP - a good mix of mainstream attractions and slightly less touristy attractions. Would recommend being as honest as possible in answering the pre-tour questionnaire as well as any questions from your guide as to your tour preferences to get the best experience!
