About Tour Guide Paul K.

Hello everyone, I am Paul, a tour guide in Seoul.


Seoul is a fascinating destination that seamlessly blends the old with the new. I'm excited to show you some of the best things to make your trip fun and excited, through my deep knowledge about culture and history of Korea and exuberant experiences as tour guide.


My primary tourist destination is Seoul and metropolitan area, consisting of 5 palaces, Royal Ancestral Shrine, Bukchon Hanok Village, National museum of Korea, War Memorial of Korea and other museums & galleries and contemporary architectures, and Namsan Mt. with N-Seoul Tower, traditional & trendy market places such as Gwangjang market & Hondae street, and also Korean Folk Village & DMZ tour.


Center of culture and tour is architecture. Architectural style represents spirit of times. We can see as much as we know about spirit of times. For example, without knowledge about Christianity, the spirit of medieval Europe, we cannot fully appreciate beauty and value of Romanesque and Gothic architecture.


Confucianism was the spirit of Joseon Dynasty. Gyeongbokgung represents Confucianism. Confucianism culture of Joseon Dynasty is unique characteristic of Korean culture, compared to Chinese, Japanese and European culture. Hence, my tourist information is based on Confucianism.


Thank you for your interest!

As your guide, I hope to see you soon in Seoul.

2 day tour Seoul with Guide Paul

Paul was our tour guide for our 2-days package tour. We have traveled from Puerto Rico and this is our first time in Korea and we wanted to learn as much as possible about the Korea within the time available. Paul is extremely knowledgeable about Korea's history and culture. He is very diligent, responsible, and above all very patient since we are traveling with our 3 year old daughter. He was kind and sweet with our daughter. He met us with an umbrella to protect ourselves from the strong sunlight and a portable fan for our daughter due to the very hot weather. That was very considerate of him! We learned a lot during the 2-day tour. Paul is a great teacher and we are very happy to have chosen him for our tours in Seoul!

I really appreciate your good review and it feels like great encouraging for me to better serve my future guests. Meantime, I hoped you and especially your baby enjoyed your tour because of heat wave. Hope your remaining tour will be great! The center of culture and center of tour is architecture. Culture is based on spirit of times. Architectural style represents the spirit of times. We can see as much as we know about the spirit of times. Confucianism was the spirit of Joseon Dynasty. Gyeongbokgung represents Confucianism. Without the knowledge about Confucianism, we are not able to fully appreciate authentic value and beauty of Gyeongbokgung.

Amazing quick tour of Seoul!

Paul is an amazing tour guide! We can't believe how much we were able to see and do on a short layout tour. Pauls knowledge of Seoul and Korean history is excellent. Can't wait to come back and spend more time in Korea. Thanks Paul.

Great tour guide

Paul did a great job brining me to the DMZ and explaining the history of the Korean War. He was very diligent in making sure we got ahead of all the other tour groups, which was a big benefit. His background in Korean philosophy was extremely complementary when discussing the history of Korea. Thanks for a great tour!

Chris S.

Despite of peaceful and vibrant atmosphere of Seoul on the surface, Korea has been under volatile state of armistice over last 70 years. In other words, Korean War has never officially ended. It means Korea technically remains at war. Through tour, guest explored the dark side of Seoul; intense tensions, violent confrontations and the constant risk of war between two Koreas. At Imjingak, we also can see the scars and hear the sorrowful memories of the Korean War.
