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!

“Amazing day with Kelly!”
I had an amazing tour with Kelly! She created a customized tour based on a few of my interests. Kelly was very knowledgeable about Korean history and culture and provided me with a lot of good information. She was also highly personable and lovely to talk to! It didn’t feel like I was on a tour but it felt like I was hanging out with a friend that was showing me around their city. It was such a great experience and the best part of my trip. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a tour guide in Seoul, you won’t regret it!!

Hi Ricky! awww that’s so kind of you, thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the tour. I felt the same way, it was like talking with a friend, and our conversation was so much fun! I really hope we can meet again someday. Have a safe flight and I wish you all the best. If you ever visit Korea again, let me know, we can casually grab a coffee! :D

“Fantastic guide! ”
Kelly was a great guide for our limited layover time in Seoul. She was very flexible and patient with our short time frame and still delivered an insightful view of Seoul culture. I like her easy going, youthful and fun personality. She is well prepared and speaks excellent english.

“Guide Review for Kelly – A Perfect Day in Korea!”
️️️️I had a wonderful time with Kelly today! She was the perfect tour guide for a traveler like me—flexible, thoughtful, and so easy to connect with. From the start, Kelly was quick to adapt to the changes I made in our itinerary, and she really paid attention to my preferences. I wanted a day with just a little walking, some shopping, and visits to locations featured in my favorite K-Dramas—and she absolutely delivered. Spending the day with her felt less like being on a guided tour and more like hanging out with a good friend. We had great conversations, exchanged stories, and learned from each other throughout the day. It also helped a lot that her English is excellent, which made everything smooth and enjoyable. I truly appreciated how mindful and easygoing she was. I’ll definitely be recommending Kelly to my friends who are planning to visit Korea. She made my experience not just memorable, but genuinely special.

I hope to see you again either in Philippines or Korea, and we will hang out again! Stay safe until then safe flight back home! ^__^
