Steve L.

I've been working as a private guide in Korea for about seven years, mainly with travelers from the United States. Before becoming a guide, I worked as a television producer, and that experience still shapes the way I guide today. I enjoy looking for the story behind a place—not simply explaining what you see, but helping you understand why it matters.

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.

I am an official English-speaking guide starting in 2025, with experience as a docent in museums and palaces in Korea. Traveling has always been my passion, and I love exploring both Korea and abroad. I am especially interested in cultural and historical content, and I enjoy sharing these stories with visitors. Having lived overseas for many years, I can understand the perspective of foreign travelers and provide a tour that feels both authentic and welcoming.

I've been working as a private guide in Korea for about seven years, mainly with travelers from the United States. Before becoming a guide, I worked as a television producer, and that experience still shapes the way I guide today. I enjoy looking for the story behind a place—not simply explaining what you see, but helping you understand why it matters.

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.
