About Tour Guide Andrew C.
<About myself as a tourguide>
I started my career as a tourguide in 2008.
Until now, I have met English and Japanese speaking guests in many fields. My guests were usually family travelers, but often included company guests and overseas government officials as well. After meeting so many kinds of guests from various countries, I am ready to meet any kinds of clients. Also I have my 11 seatered van to conduct the driving tourguide tour as well.
Along with the experience of variety of programs all over Korea, I have developed my capacity as a photographer as well. I started taking photos with DSLR 4 years ago. At that time, it was just for the tourists. But thanks to COVID, I had a chance and time to develop this hobby to my secondary job. Nowadays, I often go to the weddings or other kinds of events(1st baby's birthday, parents' 70th birthday, graduation, etc) on the weekends. So now I am equiped with the professional camera and the suitable skills for the portrait photos. I guess I am the only one tourguide in Korea who has the professional capacity, both as a tourguide and a photographer.
I am ranked in the top tourguide in one of the agencies I work with, and I had a chance to be on the Singaporean radio channel to introduce around Seoul Tower to the listeners. You can see me on the link bellow.
