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.

Minho K.
Welcome to Korea! Welcome to Seoul! My name is Minho, and I am a licensed tour guide offering private tours in Korea. Having been born and raised in a small town, completed my high school and college education in a bustling city, and subsequently residing in Seoul for the past 25 years, I bring a wealth of experience to my role. With a professional background spanning over 29 years in both local and global companies within the automotive and IT industries, I am confident that traveling with me will be a captivating and enriching experience. My 30-month military service at a US army base in Korea becomes particularly advantageous during a DMZ tour, offering valuable insights into the history and relationship between North and South Korea. Driven by a passion for sharing knowledge, experiences, and insights into Korean culture and lifestyle, I am equally eager to learn from you. I am confident in my ability to ensure you have a memorable and enjoyable stay in Korea. Having served as an official tour guide during the 2018 Winter Olympics in Korea, where I facilitated the transportation of athletes and tourists between the Olympic Village and Seoul over a two-week period, I am well-versed in managing diverse needs and expectations. All of my tours are custom-tailored to your preferences, guaranteeing exciting days filled with learning about our people, history, and culture, visiting remarkable places, and capturing beautiful moments through photography.

Johnny C.
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.

Historian Guide | Korea’s Past and Modern Transformation Understanding Korea takes more than memorized history. It helps to explore the country with someone who has experienced its transformation firsthand. Hello, I’m Andy, a licensed English-speaking Korean tour guide with the highest-level Korean History certification, an MBA, and a background in chemical engineering. Before becoming a guide, I spent over 25 years in Korea’s gas and petrochemical industries, working with major Korean corporations and witnessing the country’s remarkable industrial and economic transformation. My tours connect royal dynasties and traditional philosophy with industrialization, contemporary society, architecture, and art. Rather than simply presenting dates and landmarks, I help travelers understand the bigger picture of Korea. I occasionally use specially curated visual insight cards to make complex historical and cultural connections accessible and engaging. Having lived in Indonesia and Vietnam for nearly a decade, I also bring an international perspective to our conversations. Each tour is thoughtfully tailored to your interests, pace, and priorities. I also design customized multi-day journeys to Gyeongju, Andong, and Busan. For vehicle-based tours, I use a 2025 Hyundai Staria Hybrid for a quiet and comfortable private travel experience. I look forward to exploring Korea with you. Andy
Incheon Tour Reviews
Gerben m. D.
“Kwan is great!”
An outstanding day with Kwan! He picked us up at our hotel and spent the whole day sharing his knowledge of Korean history, and also of Korea today: how the country works, its culture and its daily life. Everywhere we went he gave clear and engaging explanations. Our visit to the DMZ was a highlight. Kwan explained exactly how it works, arranged everything for us, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Afterwards he took us to a local market, where he told us about its background, the food you can find there, how things taste and what Korean eating habits are like. We picked out a few dishes together and shared them in a little café, which was a wonderful end to the day. Kwan is friendly, knowledgeable and truly excellent at what he does. He goes out of his way for his guests and takes great care of them. We can't recommend him highly enough!

Kwan J.
Thank you, Gerben! What a fun day we had! You and Meritxell were such humorous, warm, and caring company that the entire day was full of laughter from beginning to end. I really enjoyed your genuine interest in our history and culture. And I must give you both extra credit for bravely trying all those unfamiliar foods, haha! Thank you again for making the tour so enjoyable for me as well. I hope to see you both again one day!

“Excursion to Seoul from our cruise port. ”
Minho Kang met us right inside the cruise terminal building with a sign which was very convenient. He was such an awesome guide. He told us so much about everything we saw and you could tell how much he loved his country and he wanted to please us. He explained in detail the history about everything we saw and you could tell how much he enjoyed showing us very important parts of Seoul. We saw such beautiful things and he was very patient when we wanted to take pictures and take our time to admire everything we were seeing. He took us to a pharmacy so my sister could buy medicine and helped her find the right product for her needs. I bought a postcard that I wanted to mail to my grandson and he stamped it and put it in the mail for me because the post office was already closed. I thought that was so generous of him. I think our tour lasted longer than what we booked it for and we all had a great time with him.
