About Tour Guide Enoch S.
Hi, I’m Enoch — a government-certified tour guide based in South Korea.
I’ve spent years guiding a wide range of tours, from large group bus tours to private van and walking tours across Seoul and other parts of the country.
I don’t think a good trip is just about visiting as many famous places as possible. I enjoy exploring quieter neighborhoods, stopping by a local café, visiting a temple tucked away in the hills, or simply taking a different route when something catches our attention.
My tours have a plan, but they don’t have to follow it down to the last detail. I’m happy to share suggestions and local knowledge, but I also enjoy hearing what interests you and figuring things out together along the way.
I’m also a vintage motorcycle enthusiast, which inspired me to explore Seoul on two wheels and offer riding tours for those who want to experience the city from a different perspective.
Whether you know exactly what you want to see or are still figuring it out, I hope we can make your time in Korea feel less like checking places off a list and more like a day well spent.
I look forward to meeting you.

“1*1 Scooter guided tour in Seoul ”
Actually this guided tour was perfect for me. As i love to see the city without strolling with too many tourists… Enoch is a great guide. Felt comfortable with him from the first minute. The tour have a based agenda - but it is quite flexible so we changed it together often on the fly, which is something I really like. So we a nice combination of experience the 2 wheels in real in Seoul - saw temples that there were no tourists over there, a nice coffee on the hill. Lovely Bookstore. And very pretty temple over night. All n all was really fun. Recommended to those who likes to experience a different way to explore the city. Thanks

“Seeing and experiencing local Korea and sporting event ”
Very friendly from the start with excellent communication and understood what I wanted. Offered suggestions without being pushy and made some last minute changes when sport events became available. Really enjoyed the day with him was more like hanging out with a local friend than feeling like a tour which is what I enjoyed and wanted. For the first full day in Seoul for the first time it was a great start and found him very easy to talk with an discuss my trip and he offered suggestions

Enoch S.
Thank you for the kind words. I really enjoyed the day too. It was great meeting someone with a similar spirit who knows how to enjoy traveling in their own way. I enjoyed how we could exchange ideas, adjust our plans along the way, and spend the day without being tied to a fixed itinerary. It felt less like a guided tour and more like spending time with a friend who shares a similar approach to traveling.

“Seoul Through Different Eyes”
I cannot fully express how much I thoroughly enjoyed this tour of Seoul with Enoch. He put together quite a memorable trip with experiences that I will be able to share with my family and friends. I cannot thank him enough for showing me a new side of Seoul. Booking the tour was painless. Enoch took into consideration what my hobbies and interests are, what motorcycle I wanted to ride, length of tour, and tour “must haves.” From there, he created a full day of touring with different quotes for the available motorcycles. Enoch met me at the rental facility, and he helped get the paperwork settled. We discussed riding expectations and what I was comfortable with in terms of riding experience. SEOUL IS BUSY, so express what you’re comfortable with. The rest of the day was an absolute breeze, and I had so much fun. We would chat at lights about riding culture back home and how it differs here. He provided historical insights at different locations while also being a translator for me. Being able to get special insights from the on-site guides was something amazing that I would not have been able to get on my own. In between the big tour points, he took the time to show me some of his favorite food and coffee spots. As a bonus at the end of the trip after he found out I like reading, we made an extra stop at his favorite bookstore. Overall, we visited six locations for a total of 8-9 hours of tour time. Thank you Enoch for everything and creating the most memorable trip to date!

Enoch S.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Austin. It was a pleasure spending the day riding with you. It wasn't a short ride, but your positive attitude and enthusiasm made it an enjoyable experience from start to finish. I really enjoyed our conversations about motorcycles, travel, and life, and I'm glad we could even squeeze in a visit to the bookstore at the end. Thank you again for trusting me with your trip. If you ever find yourself back in Korea, I'd be more than happy to ride with you again. Ride safe, and I wish you many more amazing adventures ahead!
