Kevin L.

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.

Juhee K.

Hi! I’m Juhee, a nationally certified tour guide with the heart of a teacher and a passion for sharing Korea in a meaningful way. I have over six years of experience teaching Korean to learners from more than 20 countries, ranging from children to adults, both in the U.S. and Korea. Teaching the language naturally led me to culture and history—because once students begin to understand Korean, they always become curious about why things are done a certain way here. I’ve also taught a university summer course, “Introduction to Korean Cinema,” exploring Korean history and society through films and dramas. That curiosity eventually brought me into tour guiding. My goal is to help visitors understand Korea through stories, context, and real-life experiences, not just facts. Thanks to my teaching background, I explain things clearly and at a comfortable pace—never rushed or overwhelming. My tours are well-organized, interactive, and friendly. I tailor each experience to guests’ interests, introduce useful Korean expressions along the way, and connect Korea’s past with everyday life today—from royal palaces and historic sites to places locals genuinely enjoy. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, positive, and approachable guide, I’d love to show you around Seoul. Let’s explore Korea with curiosity, clarity, and great energy.

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.

K-pop Demon Hunters One-Day Tour

“Great 1/2 Day Tour with Sally!”

We enjoyed our visit to K-Pop Demon Hunter’s key sites with Sally. Though our time was short, we made good use of our time by exploring the City, seeing the views, and taking lots of photos! Recommend that you start early before the crowds. Sally has a deep understanding of Korean culture and history, so imparted her wisdom to us throughout the journey. Her English is very good as well so we had lots of interesting conversations. Great way to complete our quick three-day visit to Seoul!

Sally K.

Thank you so much for your kind review. You look so lovely! I am glad you enjoyed exploring the K-Pop Demon Hunter sites eith me. I am also happy to hear my insights and English made your experience even more enjoyable. I enjoyed our conversation too. Lol I appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again in Korea! :)

“Fantastic day, fantastic guide.”

Kevin was great. He helpfully communicated with me about the arrangements to visit the DMZ and from the moment Kevin picked us up, his knowledge and experience shone through. He explained the day planned, and the requirements for entering the DMZ. On route to the DMZ, Kevin explained Korea's history and the history of the North and the South. We also visited the suspension bridge which provided a welcome and gentle way to finishe the day. Could not have been happier with Kevin's services and would try to book him again on the next South Korean trip. Five stars.

Kevin L.

Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback. I’m truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the DMZ tour and found it informative and well-organized. It means a lot to know that the historical context and overall experience met your expectations. It was a pleasure spending the day with you, and I’m happy the day ended on a pleasant note as well. I sincerely appreciate your kind words and would be delighted to see you again on your next trip to Korea. Many thanks, Kind regards, Kevin Lee

DMZ(Demilitarized Zone)+Gamaksan Suspension Bridge-Korea

“DMZ tour and suspension bridge”

We enjoyed our tour with Kevin. We liked having a small group of just our group of 6 and Kevin rather than a large bus tour. Kevin was informative and easy to talk to.

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the tour, and it was a pleasure spending time with your group. Many thanks, Kind regards, Kevin Lee
