Central National Museum of Korea -- with an expert professor
This opened in 2005, and sustains blatant a ambition to become one of the top dozen greatest museums in the world -- and maybe it is! It covers every aspect of Korea's history. There are also some great outdoor displays, such as a garden of historic stone pagodas. I have been a guide in it 100 times, and am an expert on its displays. I can guide you around the best parts, according to your interests, offering deep commentary so that you understand everything you're looking at thoroughly.

“Grab Your Walking Shoes & Spend The Day With David!”
David is absolutely splendid! A human, walking encyclopedia of anything you could hope to know. If you enjoy learning and desire to truly grasp the history and culture of South Korea- he is your guy! There wasnt a question we asked that he didnt have a full, in-depth explanation for. He offers a variety of tours to cover most anything you'd be interested in- he truly knows it all and is an excellent storyteller and teacher. He went out of his way to accommodate our wishes. We even had a medical situation arise and he took the time to go with us to the hospital and ensure we got checked in since we only speak English. Highly, highly recommend!

“A delightful walking tour listening to fascinating stories about Korea’s history ”
David took us to the Jogye-sa where we learnt in details about the country’s history of religions that helped shape the Korean culture. Then we walked to the Seoul Plaza to see the historical monuments, listening to fascinating stories about the national heroes. I was in particular inspired by the stories of Yi Sun S
