About Tour Guide Kelly O.
Hey! I'm Kelly :) I have 2 years of experience as a tour guide. I started by showing Korea to my foreign friends and students as a Korean teacher. I can help you make the most of your stay in Korea, as I know many hidden gems and can adjust to your needs and interests. for example history tours, K-pop tours, food&cafe tours, local experience tours, etc. We can also learn some basic Korean if you want, so you can connect with locals! Let's go!

“First timers in Seoul”
Being our first time in Korea, we felt very intimidated not knowing anything about the culture, transportation or area. Not to mention being an only english speaking family. We found Kelly on GWG, she responded quickly and was able to answer all our questions. Even helped with our travel days and gave us great advice. We wanted to get a taste of Seoul. We only planned to be there only 2 sightseeing days and Kelly planned a great itinerary for us. We wanted to shop, eat and see some of the cultural (tourist) sites. We visited many places including the emperors palace and Seoul Tower. Went to a couple of street markets and hit some major shopping districts like Apgujung and Seongsu. I have to say one thing about Seoul, Kelly showed us taxis are great public transportation. Quick, direct and not expensive like Tokyo. Seoul has some great shopping, especially for young adults like our son. Kelly made sure he had lots of options. Found some of the merch he wanted including a new drop that was just released! Even found a Pop Mart that had "Labubu" but we missed getting one. Myeongdong Street is a great place to walk around, shop and eat. There are lots of street food vendors and great shops everywhere you look. Kelly is a joy, easy going and made our first trip to Korea a blessing. She planned everything and showed us how to navigate and get around Seoul. Her english is like she is from the U.S. We couldn't ask for a better guide. Thank you so much, we appreciate all you did to make our trip such a success! All your help and guidance is and was greatly appreciated!

“Seoul tour - loved it !!!”
Five stars aren’t enough to express how amazing Kelly was! Her guidance and support made our trip truly unforgettable. Without her, it wouldn’t have been nearly as memorable. In fact, we’re already planning to return—this time for a full tour of South Korea, not just Seoul. Kelly, thank you so much! My daughter absolutely adores you . We miss you already and hope our paths cross again very soon.

Hi Shasi, it was an honor to guide you and your family :) you're all so lovely and kind, especially your daughter! I love kids XD The tour was amazing because you and your family were so friendly and easy to talk to. I truly enjoyed every moment, and it was such a pleasure meeting you. I can’t wait to see you all again and have another great conversation!

“Phenomenal tour guide! ”
Kelly is a phenomenal tour guide! As a solo traveler visiting Korea for the first time, I was feeling a bit anxious and unsure of how to get around, but Kelly immediately put me at ease with her warm and welcoming personality. She was very patient and walked me through how to get my T money card and showed me how to navigate the Seoul public transit system. She also shared some interesting facts about Korean history with me and was very easy to talk to. I truly felt like I was exploring the city with a friend. I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Korea and if I ever make it back, I would love to do a tour with Kelly again!
