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.

Hello, I am Paul, a professional tour guide-docent with proven record track of over 200 tours for international tourists. I am the only tour guide in Seoul, who introduce Korean traditional culture, based on Confucianism. Confucianism is spirit of Joseon Dynasty that was last dynasty just before current Korea, and Confucianism is Korea's cultural identity. Based on basic knowledge of Confucianism, you can fully appreciate the beauty of Korean traditional architecture and culture, and so your travel to Seoul will be unforgettable and memorable in your life. My tour is to explore Korea’s unique cultural identity and beauty, based on simple-but-elegant beauty of Confucianism! Center of tour is architecture. Architectural style represents spirit of times. We can see as much as we know. For example, without knowledge about Christianity, the spirit of medieval Europe, we cannot fully appreciate beauty and value of Romanesque and Gothic architecture, but are just fascinated by its superficial beauty. My primary tourist destinations are focusing on Seoul and metropolitan area, consisting of Gyeongbokgung palace & Changdeokgung Rear Garden, Jongmyo Shrine, Bongeunsa Buddhist temple & Sunjeongneung Royal Tomb, Bukchon Hanok Village, National museum of Korea, War Memorial of Korea, other museums & galleries and contemporary architectures, and Namsan Mt. with N-Seoul Tower, traditional & trendy market places such as Gwangjang market & Hongdae street, and COEX-Starfield library in Gangnam area, and also Korean Folk Village & DMZ tour in neighboring cities. Alongside, I am specialist for hiking to Bukhansan Mt. and Inwangsan Mt. that are located in downtown Seoul, where you can enjoy beautiful natural sceneries and stunning view of Seoul. With my hands-on experiences and deep knowledge of Korea's culture & history, you can discover true insight and delight in Korea. Thank you for your interest! As your guide, I hope to see you soon in Seoul!

Hello, I am a native Seoul guide, born and raised in Gangnam, where I have lived all my life. Growing up while witnessing the transformation of Gangnam and the rhythm of Seoul has given me the unique strength of introducing the city from the perspective of someone who has truly lived it. For the past ten years, I have worked in the travel industry, meeting guests from many different countries and gaining extensive experience in on-site operations, product development, and customer service. Through this, I have come to understand—more deeply than anyone—what international travelers look for in Seoul and what moments genuinely move them. This insight allows me to design customized routes and narratives that match each traveler’s interests and purpose. With a background in English studies and practical field experience, I guide naturally in both Korean and English, explaining even complex historical and cultural topics with clarity and ease. My broad on-site experience also enables me to remain calm and flexible when unexpected situations arise. To me, Seoul is not only my workplace but my home. I aim to present this familiar city in the freshest, most authentic way—so you can experience Seoul at its very best. Thank you.

“The most enjoyable private tour”
Sean went over and beyond in accommodating our group of 8 and he was able to secure a mini bus during peak season. He was very responsive during the planning and made suggestions to make our itinerary efficient. His enthusiasm during the tour was delightful and it seemed that he enjoyed his day with us too. My mom has been looking for a hot stone bowl meal and Sean made a lunch reservation for us at a wonderful restaurant (the best authentic Korean meal I've had during the trip). He also kindly made a reservation for our dinner before he dropped us off at the end of the tour. This was very helpful as there are few restaurants near our hotel and he was able to order for us in advance. Sean was flexible with the itinerary and thought it better to bring us to the Gyeongju National Museum even though we only had about 30 minutes before closing time. The museum is not originally part of the itinerary. He knew that our family would appreciate seeing the actual relics that were found in the Daereungwon tomb complex. Though the tour was already beyond the supposed number of hours, Sean was so kind to still show us the Woljeonggyo Bridge since I mentioned during planning that I would like to witness the architecture at night (we already visited it at midday). It was a very luck end of tour too as we all witnessed the full moon that seemed larger than usual. Thank you Sean for your generosity and lively spirit!

“Day trip to Ganghwado”
My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful day with Alice as we visited Ganghwado for the day. Alice was extremely knowledgeable of the area. She was so very kind and accommodating. We are so happy that we chose Alice as our tour guide.
