Paul was terrific, patient and knowledgeable. An amazing guide. Partner or CU Website Guest Review

" I was in Seoul just for a few days and wanted a taste of this fascinating city. We started the day over coffee and a brief lesson in Korean history. He taught how to master the public transport system. Paul was so knowledgeable and kind. We covered the Royal Palaces, markets, the National museum and shopping (modern) districts. Always with a smile. I would highly recommend Paul as a guide in Seoul. You will cover a lot without feeling overwhelmed. A wonderful local host. "
