We first booked Wendy through our hotel via Trip Advisor. After a fabulous day, even though it rained (and snowed!) in mid-April. We were so pleased that we booked another day. Wendy tailored the day for us, and we experienced the perfect blend of ancient, recent history, and modern-day. She made everything we asked for (and more) happen without anything being stressful or oversold. Her depth of knowledge and love for her city gave us the desire to come back for more. When we do, we will definitely want to tour with Wendy.

This my first day and first trip in South Korea. We are very lucky that we got Ms.Wendy as our tour guide. She is very friendly and patiently guided us. Her knowledge about the places made our trip interesting.

Wendy, our tour guide, was amazing. We visited the Palace, a budist temple and the street market. We needed to purchase a particular beauty product and she took us to a Mall where she was sure we could find it. Also, she guided us to a japanese restaurant that was nice and affordable. Thanks to her we had a wonderful time!

Wendy and Mr. Kim are AMAZING!!! Wendy is so knowledgeable and insightful and Mr Kim got us smoothly and quickly around Seoul, through traffic related to the political protests while laughing and smiling. I will be asking for them by name when I come back!

Our guide, Wendy, and our driver Mr Kim were AMAZING!!! We had the best time. Wendy is so knowledgeable and so kind and Mr Kim got us in and out of traffic related to the politics protests while laughing and chatting. I will ask for them both by name when I return.

My day with Jun was amazing. It was the perfect one-day introduction to Seoul. The best thing was seeing the city and country through the eyes of someone who really cared about his culture and both spoke and listened in a way that really illuminated my experience and taught me a lot. Thanks Jun!

Wendy was an excellent tour guide. Gave us a detailed but not boring summary of the history of Korea. Wearing the traditional Hanbok let us capture the Korean essence and heritage. Wendy is incredibly knowledgeable and is able to create an incredibly well-planned experience and can be flexible. She is able to give the perfect insight into Korean culture and history with a balance of fun. No topic is off limits for discussion, and she is a great listener. I would recommend Sang Mi to my family and friends who will visit Korea.

Our tour guide Julie Parks was such a pleasant and sweet person. She was on time and guided us to navigate through with the Hanbok costume part and Palace Tour. We really enjoyed dressing up in the Korean Hanbok dresses and wandering through the Palace. We also went to see old Korean Homes and enjoy the architectural homes, stopped at Isadong to watch pastries being hand made, rode the cable car to the Seoul Tower watched a cultural sword performance and drum music. Best part of this tour was The lunch place that Julie brought us to the best restaurant in Seoul.
