About Tour Guide Andy P.

[Expert Historian & Your Knowledgeable Korean Friend]

"To truly understand a country, you need a guide who has lived its history and navigated its modern complexities."

Hi, I am Andy. I bridge the gap between Korea’s dynamic corporate world and its profound historical roots. While I am a Certified History Expert (1st Grade), my guests often describe me as a "knowledgeable and humorous Korean friend."

■ Why Choose My Tour?

• Intellectual Depth: I don't just list dates; I share stories. With a Master's degree and 20+ years of corporate experience, I provide a nuanced analysis of how Korea’s past shaped its present.

• Global Perspective & Empathy: With about 10 years of experience as an expatriate in Indonesia and Vietnam, and having explored over 16 countries (including the UK, USA, and Italy Assisi/Rome), I deeply resonate with the hearts of travelers. Whether you’re a history buff or a casual explorer, I close cultural gaps with ease and insightful storytelling.

• Premium Comfort: Travel in a brand-new 2025 Hyundai Staria Hybrid Van, ensuring a quiet, eco-friendly, and smooth journey.

■ My Philosophy

A great tour is a balance of insight, laughter, and personal connection. I use curated laminated cards for clarity, but my passion is making your trip unforgettable.

Beyond Seoul, I specialize in multi-day journeys to Gyeongju, Andong, and Busan. Let’s discover the real Korea together!

Sincerely,

Andy

“Wonderful day with Andy”

We booked a last-minute tour with Andy, and he went above and beyond to make it an unforgettable experience. After we mentioned a few areas we were interested in, Andy promptly met us at our hotel—right on time—and took care of everything from there. He began by giving us a small booklet with the history of Korea and guided us through an incredible journey into the country’s past. We spent many hours together visiting historical sites, including the palace, and throughout the day he shared fascinating insights about Korean history, culture, and religion. His deep knowledge, combined with his experiences around the world, allowed him to draw thoughtful comparisons across different religions and cultures, which we found truly valuable. Andy was kind, diligent, and personable. He gave us great local tips, helped us buy ginseng, joined us for a casual meal at a convenience store, and even took many great photos of us along the way. We had a lot of fun and learned so much. We highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, engaging, and caring guide in Korea!

Andy P.

I also had a truly wonderful time with you all. I could catch your passion to learn about Korean history, culture, and religion, and I am truly grateful for that. I hope you experience Korea more deeply and create wonderful memories during the remainder of your trip. And wish you guys happiness! Cheers!
