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.

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!

“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.

Charlie C.
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!
