Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Shawn did an amazing job on our tour. This was a long, packed day, but he did a great job pacing things and sensing when we needed a break (he also recognized when we were cold and redirected us to a unique indoor sight that wasn't on the original itinerary just to give us a chance to warm up and see something new!). I loved the itinerary and everything we saw, and having a pro guiding us a getting us place to place made it possible to see all these sights in one day in a brand new city without feeling too overwhelmed. My husband and I were a little nervous because this is the first time we've done a private tour, but we enjoyed it very much. One of my favorite highlights was the noodles and dumplings at the food market--I would have had no idea which stalls to stop at without Shawn's expertise.

Bergen is a great tour guide. He is knowledgable about the city and its history. He is friendly with a warm heart. In the end of the day he found I like a special type of Korean food and drove me 1 hour to a special restaurant which turns out to be the best part of my trip. Highly recommend his tour to anyone who wants to visit Seoul

What a great guide Bergen is! He is enthusiastic, friendly, knowledgeable and fun to be with. Bergen showed me everything that I wanted to see, introduced me to delicious Ginseng Chicken soup, strong ginger tea and still more exotic foods at the market. He was willing to adjust the itinerary so that I could see the Spirit Shrine of the Joseon kings and even found me a shop selling high quality celadon ceramics. I couldn’t recommend Bergen more highly.

We laid over in South Korea on our way to Mongolia and signed up for a full day tour with Benny while there. Benny was prompt to pick us up, gave us an incredible tour with lots of information, and fed us well. I highly recommend this tour to anybody looking for a full day of sightseeing.

This was such an amazing introduction to Seoul. Seoul is a little daunting for a ‘English only’ traveller. Benny, our guide, whats apped us a few days before our arrival with photographs of which of the many hotel doors to meet him at and then again as soon as he arrived. He was great company for the whole day and what we packed in would have taken us several days on our own. And frankly we would never have known where to get chicken soup lunch nor be brave enough to try the local market restaurant. By the end of the day we were exhausted, informed, full and happy.

We had a full day tour in Seoul with Mr. Bergen Park and it was an unforgettable experience. The tour was perfectly organized and Mr Park introduced to us the historical as well as modern sides of this great city. He did his best to make all our plans work on that day.
I'd would highly recommend Mr. Bergen Park to anybody, who is looking for a knowledgeable, helpful, interesting tour guide in South Korea in general and Seoul in particular.

This was our 3rd trip to Seoul, and so we have visited quite a few of the attractions previously. Bergen was very prompt in customizing the tour for us. Knowing that my elderly parents could not walk long distances, he was able to make changes to the itinerary during the tour. We especially loved the food recommendations which were not the usual touristy restaurants. 👍🏻

Thank you for the warm review, Ms. Koh. I was also pleased to have such wonderful tour with your family. It was so impressive seeing all of your family prayed with consecrated rice and candle at Buddhist temple. I think those deep religious make your family so happy. Good luck to your whole family member in 2020 too. Bergen Park

The guide Mr Bergen Park is not just a guide, he is a host, to whom you are a guest. You could ask him questions about politics, economics, religions, history and food. He answered all questions and so I got much much much more information than with an usual guide. It was so entertaining having him as a guide. The tour under his guidance was superb! I also enjoyed very much his choice of food places!!!!!! The last step was a place at the market, where I got Makgeolli, which I loved. So a million points for Mr Bergen Park.

Dear Kerstin, Thank you for your kind and warm review on our Seoul city tour. Especially, I appreciate that you wrote a review during your busy business trip in Korea. I think you might end business meeting in Seoul today, will leave Korea tomorrow. It was a pleasure having a good time with you during the tour and could talk a lot of issues. I hope you to have good business with your Korean customers in future, and I hope to see you someday later again. Thanks, Bergen Park

It was amazing! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. This is my first time solo traveling and John helped me feel extremely comfortable and was incredibly knowledgeable. He added cool and unique points that only a local would know and brought to some really really great restaurants and local spots. This was my first activity in Seoul and I don’t think it can be topped. Not only was he great during the tour, but he also helped answer a lot of questions I had about further tourism in Seoul, also he took excellent photos!

Don was our tour guide, and I must say that it was one of the most incredible experiences my wife and I have ever had. 9 hours seems like a long time, but with Don explaining everything, showing us around Seoul, and getting us quickly to each and every destination, it flew by. The markets were amazing, the Tea house and art exhibition was delectable, and the street food was breath taking. I cannot recommend this tour, and certainly not Don, enough. An absolute must if you're either not from around here, or have no one that you know. Very best, 7/5.
