I was born in Seoul, studied in Seoul until graduate school. Before becoming a tour guide, I had been working in Petrochemical Industry for major Korean conglomerates for quite a long timeframe. And, for developing overseas business projects of the enterprises. I resided in Indonesia and Vietnam as an expatriate for about 9 years. Working in an international business environment and in a big organization gave me chances to broaden my views of the world and better understand diverse perspectives, cultures, religion, economics and politics as well. And, as I like reading books, my understanding about Korean history and human beings have been deepened with time. Who you travel with is as important as where you go and what you see. Here I am for you! I have obtained official tour guide certificate in 2018. I appreciate a lot of good reviews and kudos directly to me or indirectly through multi-national or Korean travel agencies. Here are some extracts from the reviews. "Our tour guide Andy, in south Korea was exceptional, making the experience both educational and entertaining. His in-depth knowledge about the history and culture of the area was impressive, and he shared fascinating stories that brought the sites to life. His passion for the job was extremely good, leaving us with wonderful memories and a deeper appreciation for Korea." On this ocassion, I would like to express gratitude from my warm heart to all the travelers whom I have met. You will see real Korea with the unbiased vision through the eyes of real Korean. Multiple days tour is also recommended. I can organise it reflectimg your tastes! Come and enjoy with me!

“Highlight of my trip”
My granddaughter and I had a lovely day with Charlie. He was accommodating, answered any question we posed, and it was interesting to learn about the history of Korea from him. Our visit to the DMZ was a highlight of my stay in Seoul (where I was visiting my granddaughter who is studying there). Charlie went out of his way to show us a suspension bridge up in the mountains. He even shared his candy and other snacks with us. A wonderful tour.

Thank you, Johanna, November 1st was the peak of the autumn weather, when large crowds gathered at Imjingak to visit DMZ. It was a bit of a bummer, but the tour with you was so enjoyable and happy. We climbed 275 steep steps to see the Gamaksan Mountain ridge and suspension bridge. Thank you for your passion for staying with me without giving up until the end. And thank you so much for leaving a wonderful review.

“Awesome Day getting out of Seoul!”
This is the second tour we did with Thomas! Absolutely awesome & was both my Grandmothers and Mothers favourite thing they did in South Korea! The railway is amazing, Nami Island is beautiful and the Garden of Morning Calm so peaceful. Thomas was great at managing the group - zipline for my brother and I over to the island and then also organising a wheelchair for my grandmother when needed. Thanks Thomas for an amazing day & such special photographs from the day too.
Thomas K.
Thank you so much for leaving such a wonderful review of your second tour with me! I’m so happy to hear that your grandmother and mother enjoyed it. It was a truly wonderful day for me as well, and I was glad to capture your special moments in photos. I hope your grandmother stays healthy and that she can visit Korea again someday. Thank you!
