Hello! I am Ari, a freelance guide based in South Korea with a rich and diverse background in English guiding, interpretation, and medical coordination over the past decade.
I'm delighted to welcome you to Korea. Having spent my entire life in Korea, I've been a licensed guide since 2014, accumulating a decade of experience in showcasing the wonders of my homeland.
My academic journey led me to major in English Literature, and armed with a TESOL certification, I also ventured into the realm of English teaching. However, it was a transformative trip to Europe that ignited a new dream within me. I found joy in sharing the stories, memories, and unique charm of Korea with people from around the world.
Over the years, my role expanded beyond guiding to handling diplomatic protocols for distinguished guests, including ministers, vice ministers, members of parliament, kings, and queens. If you're seeking an authentic tour that unveils the true essence of Korea, I invite you to reach out. I'm eager to promptly respond and create memorable experiences together.
Feel free to drop me a message – let's embark on a journey to discover the genuine beauty of Korea!

“Ari went Above and Beyond – Highly Recommended!”
We had an amazing experience in Seoul thanks to our incredible tour guide, Ari. Her English was excellent, and she was not only knowledgeable about Korean history and daily life but also incredibly kind and helpful throughout the entire day. Ari went above and beyond—after the tour, she helped us book train tickets and even arranged medication for us. She truly made our trip smoother and more enjoyable. A lovely, caring person and a fantastic guide—highly recommended! P.S.: Ari - if you come to London please let us know. We would love to meet you and show you our home city :)

“Personalized tour”
I had so much fun with my quick Korean tour with Ari as the guide. I told her what I expected and we just went with the flow. Ari just picked up when my original guide could not make it. I appreciate her for that. At first, I was disappointed because my original guide had made specific itinerary and Ari thought it was a lot for a 6 hour period going from 1 place to another. Of course, she did not realize that all I want is really just to get photos here and there. Digging the history and knowing more about Korea will be another time as I was just there for a layover. When Ari and I met, it all just went flawless. It is like I am traveling with a friend. We even ended with a lot of free time before our time ends and we just spent drinking our Starbucks at the Star field mall watching people. I would highly recommend Ari. I would use go with guide again for sure.

I was truly touched to the point of tears by your heartfelt review. I often find myself reminiscing about the day we spent together as well. Especially the quiet moments we shared, sitting in Starfield, watching people go by, and chatting — those memories remain such a warm and unforgettable part of my heart. I also felt genuinely happy to be able to take beautiful photos for you. Just as you said, it truly felt like traveling with a dear friend, and I was filled with joy and gratitude throughout our time together. As we saw at the temple, perhaps this too was fate. I sincerely wish you and your family continued happiness and peace. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
