Fun & relaxing tour
Mr. Kim was very punctual, thoughtful, friendly, and kind. He really made sure we had the best experience. He showed us the highlights of Gangnam at a nice pace. When I requested to see BTS sites, he went above & beyond by taking us to several places, including their old dorm that turned into Hyuga Cafe. It felt like we saw so many places but it was relaxing at the same time. It was a very meaningful & enjoyable tour for me. I highly recommend!
Response from the operator: It is a pleasure that you enjoyed our gangnam tour with our guide. Thank you for your nice review on the tour, and I hope to see your family someday later again. Bergen Park

Bergen is Seoul’s fabulous tour guide
Bergen is a fantastic tour guide, so knowledgeable about Seoul and very excited to share his City with us. We had experiences we could not have secured for ourselves otherwise, like a visit to a tea house, lunch at the Noodle Lady’s and an amazing place for Korean pancakes. Visiting the Buddhist Temple & graves was amazing. Also, he accommodated all our requests. Very friendly and kind. Bergen is a retired CEO whose passion for sharing Seoul with visitors is evident and appreciated.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your nice reciew on our tour. It was a pleasure for to have a wonderful time with your family, so smart son and daughter, together. I could see how much you tried to raise your children well during the tour. I am confident that your children will go on to do great things for America and be devoted children for their mom. Thanks, Bergen Park

Gangnam
We loved our tour with Bergen. He went out of his way to show us a great time. He was so efficient and allowed us to get done in a day what would take us days to do on our own. Thanks, Bergen!

I am so pleased to hear that your family enjoyed our tour a lot, and it was also my pleasure to share a great time with your happy family. Thank you again and I hope your family back to your home with lots of good memory. Best regards, Bergen Park

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Gangnam - Highlight City Tour in Seoul(including Lunch): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seoul.
How much does Gangnam - Highlight City Tour in Seoul(including Lunch) cost?
+
Prices start at $139 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seoul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Gangnam - Highlight City Tour in Seoul(including Lunch) take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Seoul is not rushed.
Is Gangnam - Highlight City Tour in Seoul(including Lunch) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seoul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Gangnam - Highlight City Tour in Seoul(including Lunch)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Gangnam - Highlight City Tour in Seoul(including Lunch) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Gangnam - Highlight City Tour in Seoul(including Lunch)?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Seoul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Seoul and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gangnam - Highlight City Tour in Seoul(including Lunch) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Seoul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Seoul?
+
On Outty we rank every Seoul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include DMZ Tour: Defector Q&A, Tunnel & Suspension Bridge /Hotel pick up, Best DMZ Tour Seoul: Defector Q&A, 3rd Tunnel & Suspension Bridge, 2026 Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best: DMZ Tour from Seoul. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Seoul?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Seoul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
