I received a license in 2016 from the Korea Tourism Organization as a qualified professional tour guide. I have guided a variety of tours for people and tourists from all over the world and have been doing so for over 9 years. Before being a tour guide I spent most of my career working in the banking industry for almost 30 years, starting with Korea First Bank which later became a US based Newbridge Capital and UK based Standard Chartered Bank until I retired in 2016. My experience in the banking industry was very much customer-first and dealing with the public which laid the cornerstone and passion to becoming a tour guide. After retiring from the bank, I worked as a lecturer for a volunteering organization run by the local public office and taught students about the environment and disabilities. With various experiences and personal management skills, these challenges have provided a real life, hands on cultural nuances which will promote friendship and expand life experiences between different cultures. I'm based in Seoul but will be happily arrange the tours to Busan, Gyeongju, Sokcho, Jeonju etc. as a customized tour. Feel free to drop me a request message.

Steve L.
Hi, I'm Steve, a licensed private tour guide and storyteller, born and raised in Seoul. I grew up during Korea's postwar recovery and have watched the country transform into the vibrant, modern Korea you see today. I enjoy sharing not just historical facts, but personal stories about how Korean life has changed. Before becoming a guide, I worked as a TV producer. My work took me across Korea, from major cities to small towns, where I discovered the history, food, traditions, and everyday lives of local people. I later served as CEO of a local government cultural agency, deepening my understanding of regional culture. I've traveled to more than 15 countries and spent a year in Los Angeles as a Visiting Scholar at UCLA. These experiences help me understand the interests and perspectives of international visitors. I offer private tours in Seoul as well as customized multi-day journeys throughout Korea, including places such as Gyeongju, Andong, Jeonju, Gangneung, and Sokcho. Whether you love UNESCO heritage sites, traditional villages, Buddhist temples, regional food, or beautiful countryside, I'll help plan a trip that fits your interests and pace. I believe a private tour should feel like a conversation, not a lecture. We can take our time, stop at a local market or café, and explore the stories behind the places we visit. My goal is simple: to help you understand Korea, not just see it. I'd love to share my Korea with you. *Credentials & Background - Licensed Korean Tour Guide (English) - Former TV Producer - Former CEO of a Local Government Cultural Agency - Former Visiting Scholar at UCLA - Certified Educator in Korean Buddhist Temple Culture

Rossi K.
Hi! I'm Rossi, a licensed English-speaking tour guide in Korea. For me, guiding is not simply about showing you famous places. I want you to understand the stories behind what you see — why a palace was built this way, how history shaped modern Korea, why certain foods became part of everyday life, and how Koreans actually live today. History is one of my biggest interests, especially Korea's royal history and the stories behind its palaces and traditional neighborhoods. But my tours are not history lectures. I also love exploring local markets, trying good food, discovering interesting cafés, wandering through hidden streets, and experiencing the small details of everyday Korean life that you might otherwise pass by. I'm also a big café lover! Korea has an amazing café culture, and I enjoy discovering everything from small neighborhood cafés to unique and beautifully designed spaces. If you love coffee and cafés too, we'll definitely have something to talk about. I started guiding international travelers in 2019, and over the years I've learned that no two guests are the same. Some want to dive deep into history, some want great food, cafés, photography or local experiences, and others simply want to enjoy Korea at a comfortable pace. That's why I prefer to adapt the day around the people I'm traveling with rather than follow the same script every time. I offer both walking and driving experiences, from exploring Seoul's palaces and neighborhoods to discovering places beyond the city, including the DMZ and other destinations around Korea. Most importantly, I want my guests to feel comfortable asking questions, changing the pace, or being curious about anything they see. Think of me not just as your guide, but as a local travel mate who happens to know a lot of stories about Korea. If you leave the tour feeling that you understand Korea a little better — and with a few good stories and memories to take home — then I've done my job.

“Amazing guy, made trip real fun. ”
Peter showed us a Seoul we would never have found on our own Peter was an outstanding guide. He was polite, patient, and helpful from start to finish, and he clearly knows the city inside out. Instead of only the usual tourist stops, he took us to parts of Seoul we would never have discovered ourselves, and explained the history and culture behind each place along the way. He made the whole day easy and enjoyable, and we came away feeling like we had seen the real city. If you are visiting Seoul, book Peter. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for your wonderful and generous review! It was truly a pleasure guiding you around Seoul. Knowing that you felt like you experienced the real city beyond the usual tourist spots means the world to me, as that is always my main goal as a guide. Thank you again for your kind recommendation. Since we still have one more tour left together, I look forward to seeing you again very soon!

Thank you so much for your kind review, Robert! It was so much fun sharing stories about travel and life with you and showing you some wonderful places in Korea. It was a really valuable time for me as well. I hope we meet again somewhere!

“That hiking experience you need”
Hans met me in front of my hotel with his Hyundai Staria van. Before we started our hike, he gave me special poles; it was easier and safer to climb up the stones and stairs. We made about 3-4 breaks before the summit. Hans shared a gimbap with me (a Korean dish), but I also recommend taking some snacks and about 1-1.5 litres of water in your backpack. Gloves are strongly recommended. The last 400-500 meters have no stairs, and you can climb only with your hands and the metal cables along the way. Hans can offer different courses depending on you and your condition, but Baegundae Peak is the most difficult. It’s not an easy hike, but it's worth it. There is a lot of beautiful nature because the route goes through the forest, and the view from the summit is great. I’m very grateful to Hans for this course, and I hope I’ll be back there again.
