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.

Hello! I am Ari, a freelance guide based in South Korea with a rich and diverse background in English guiding, interpretation, and medical coordination over the past decade. I'm delighted to welcome you to Korea. Having spent my entire life in Korea, I've been a licensed guide since 2014, accumulating a decade of experience in showcasing the wonders of my homeland. My academic journey led me to major in English Literature, and armed with a TESOL certification, I also ventured into the realm of English teaching. However, it was a transformative trip to Europe that ignited a new dream within me. I found joy in sharing the stories, memories, and unique charm of Korea with people from around the world. Over the years, my role expanded beyond guiding to handling diplomatic protocols for distinguished guests, including ministers, vice ministers, members of parliament, kings, and queens. If you're seeking an authentic tour that unveils the true essence of Korea, I invite you to reach out. I'm eager to promptly respond and create memorable experiences together.

I received a license in 2016 from the Korea Tourism Organization as a qualified professional tour guide. I have guided a variety of tours for people and tourists from all over the world and have been doing so for over 6 years. Before being a tour guide I spent most of my career working in the banking industry for almost 30 years, starting with Korea First Bank which later became a US based Newbridge Capital and UK based Standard Chartered Bank until I retired in 2016. My experience in the banking industry was very much customer-first and dealing with the public which laid the cornerstone and passion to becoming a tour guide. After retiring from the bank, I worked as a lecturer for a volunteering organization run by the local public office and taught students about the environment and disabilities. With various experiences and personal management skills, these challenges have provided a real life, hands on cultural nuances which will promote friendship and expand life experiences between different cultures. I'm based in Seoul but will be happily arrange the tours to Busan, Gyeongju, Sokcho, Jeonju etc. as a customized tour. Feel free to drop me a request message.

Hi. I'm Lee! I was born and raised in Seoul, and lived in five different countries, Canada, US, Australia, Russia and Germany. I also traveled over 40 countries mostly alone. I studied Business in Seoul with a year exchange program in US, and completed MBA in Sydney. After MBA I wanted to pursue a career change as a professor with my field experience. I was a Market researcher, Research analyst and Marketer in big companies. Highly paying and stable job. It was what many called a good life. But I always liked to be in the nature better than the office. I hiked Kilimanjaro summit alone, Annapurna Base Camp alone, Olympus alone, Everest Base Camp, Fuji, Alps alone and many other mountains in the world. (Alone means literally alone or with a guide. In some countries you must hire a guide). Also I've led a hiking club over 4 years and fly overseas more than 5 times per year and hike. So I decided to have my own travel agency and operate hiking and city tours. Most of my tours are of food and hiking. Now I can hike even more often, have good food with travelers and practice calligraphy everyday which I love too. 70% of Korea is mountainous and amazingly beautiful. And the food is so yummy! If you visit Korea, please contact me! Just like I enjoy my hometown, Seoul, I really want others to enjoy the culture and nature too. Thank you for reading it. Hope to meet you in Korea. :-) Cheers, Lee CREDENTIALS . English language tour guide for foreign guests (Korea Tourism Organization) . MBA in Sydney/ Bachelor in Business Administration in Seoul . Korean language teacher certificate (Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism) . International TEFL and TESOL Diploma in teaching English (ITTT) . Mountain leader program (Korean National Park Mountain Safety Institute) . Solo hiked in Kilimanjaro summit, ABC, Olympus, Alps, and much more . Group hiked in EBC, Kala Patthar, Fuji, Altai, and much more . Hiking club leader over 4 years . Calligraphy competition awards (6 times)

Hello, I’m Yubin. I am an experienced tour guide who has hosted nearly 200 teams for over a year! I conduct individual tours and large group tours of about 40 people and offer all the plans including hotels, flights, and transportation to larger groups. I can take care of you from the moment you get off at the airport until you go back to the airport :-) I do tour not only in Seoul, but also in Jeju island, Jeonju, Daegu, Busan, Sokcho and any other cities in Korea and help you to fin the best local food in that cities! Actually my major is Dental hygiene, but I realized I rather prefer to go outside and enjoy my life. I have experience working at a hospital, so I can give simple first aid. I sometimes volunteer to interpret at the hospital, so the hospital can translate for me in case of an emergency. I love traveling very much. I travel abroad 2-3 times every year. I've been to more than 10 countries. As a person who knows to travel, I will introduce what travelers wants who visit Korea! I love a job as a tour guide where I can meet and interact with various people. I want to help people understand cultural and historical backgrounds and get to know Korea more deeply, not just going to various places. I'm a very comfortable person to talk to. My clients love to tour and talk with me and most say they feel like traveling with their friends. I hope you feel the same way! I will do my best to make you fall in love with Korea. Hope to see you soon in Korea!
