Fantastic personalised walking tour
We had an excellent walking tour with Su. She was friendly, engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the experience feel personal to our interests. She never rushed us, answered all of our questions, and thoughtfully adapted the tour for one member of our group recovering from a knee injury. Su took us to places we would never have found on our own and even introduced us to delicious Korean salt bread! She couldn’t have been more helpful, and the tour was one of the highlights of our time in Seoul. Highly recommended!

Disappointing
2 hour tour timing was shifted on us twice. Guide could speak almost no English and provided very little useful information. In addition, the guide had to end the tour 30 minutes early to get us into the secret garden, which could have been accounted for in our tour start time.

Walking Seoul
Walking Seoul tour with Jose was a excellent experience. My wife and I were able to experience Seoul like a local. Jose is very knowledgeable and took us to the best spots in the city. We will be back for sure

Great Introduction to Seoul!
Kim (Sungwhan) was allocated to us by Viator, or maybe another agency - unknown. Kim is a very nice man, helpful, affable and did take us to all of Seoul's special spots which we wouldn't have been able to go to on our own in such a short period of time. We literally sprinted across the sights, because he's very light on his feet and we really had to keep up with him. Having said that, he really managed to weave us in and out of the very crowded alleyways, points of interest etc, which we couldn't have done ourselves. He was also very patient with photos, as there was a lot to see, and even took a few for us himself! If there's one thing that could be improved on was his proficiency in English. I think we would have been able to get a lot more out of the tour in terms of historical context and specific information than we did. Having said that I think he managed well and definitely organised our morning well and gave us a very good introduction to Seoul.

Geri is very friendly
It was great meeting Geri. She helped us with all our questions and adapted to our preferences. It was a shame the temple was closed and we couldn't see the changing of the guard. She asks about your preferences and answers all your questions. We hope to see her again if we return to Seoul! We're very happy with her!!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Seoul Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seoul.
How much does Seoul Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) cost?
+
Prices start at $54 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 Seoul Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Seoul Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 39 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 Seoul Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour)?
+
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 Seoul Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Seoul Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour)?
+
Around 14 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Seoul Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) 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.
