I was born and raised in Seoul and completed my graduate studies here. Before becoming a tour guide, I spent many years working in the petrochemical divisions of major Korean conglomerates, developing international business projects and living as an expatriate in Indonesia and Vietnam for nearly a decade. These experiences taught me how cultures interpret the world differently—and how meaningful communication can bridge those differences. Over time, my passion for history, people, and storytelling grew stronger. I immersed myself in Korean history, reading extensively and studying how society, belief systems, and human relationships have evolved. This has shaped my guiding philosophy: a memorable journey comes from not only where you go, but who guides you through it. My aim is to offer travelers an experience that is insightful, balanced, and grounded in real Korean perspectives. Since obtaining my official tour guide certification in 2018, I’ve received many heartfelt reviews from travelers worldwide. One guest wrote: > “Our guide Andy was exceptional. His deep knowledge of history and culture, paired with engaging storytelling, brought each site to life. His passion made our trip truly unforgettable.” With me, you won’t just visit Korea—you’ll understand it. You’ll see the country through the eyes of someone who has lived its history, appreciates its complexities, and can connect it to the wider world with clarity and nuance. I offer customized multi-day tours to Andong, Gyeongju, Busan, and other regions, tailored to your interests. Please contact me!

“Unforgettable experience”
The trip to DMZ was another experience that we can't forget. We all knew that Korea is divided into two but seeing the North Korea and walking through the underground tunnel that NK had digged struck us with realization that the tension still exists in this peninsula. It was stark contrast with the first day trip which we enjoyed modern Seoul and eerie and cold reality that the menace of War a few mile away. Thanks to Sally, we can have another great memory of Korea.

Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful and meaningful review. I’m honored to have been a part of your journey and to help create another unforgettable memory of Korea for you. I sincerely hope to welcome you back to Korea someday. Best wishes!

“Photo Taking and personal Tour guide”
The experience is fantastic. I have hired many private tour guides in various trips and I would say this is the best I have experience so far. Many private tour guide will just bring you to a destination, do some introduction and leave you alone. Thomas goes everywhere you goes and explain every little details. This helps us appreciate korean culture better. He is also jovial, as he always laugh and creates some fun in his sharing. The best, which my two kids love, is his photography. He knows where to takes the best shot, he is patient and he ensures all the good spots are taken with a photograph. on iternary, we all love the korean folk village and the fortress. starfield is light. if you can switch this with Naksan park, which Thomas can help with better photos. The park is beautiful !
Thomas K.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was a real pleasure guiding your family in Korea, and I am truly grateful for your kind words. I am delighted to hear that you enjoyed learning about Korean history and culture throughout the tour. Capturing happy moments for families is one of my favorite parts of this job. I sincerely hope to welcome you and your family back to Korea again.
