“Nami Island, Railbike and Garden of Morning Calm”
What a great day we had with Thomas. Full of knowledge, organised, we did very little waiting around. He showed us how everything works and what to do. Thomas offered free photos which are amazing and ones we could not have taken ourselves. Thank you Thomas. In all we spent 3 days touring with Thomas and we would book Thomas again, he gives 200% to his customers and nothing is too much trouble. Thomas has a lot of patience as we love photography so we spent a lot of time taking photos.

“DMZ Tour and Paju and suspension bridge”
What a fantastic day we had with Thomas. It snowed the night before and Thomas collected us early and took us up into the hills where we had a ball taking photos. Did our tour, Thomas has lots of knowledge and we really enjoy listening to him telling us the Korea history. Having Thomas as our guide took away all the hassle of finding our way around and working out what to do. Thank you so much Thomas for a great day. You are well organised and love the hand warmers. You never know we might see you again sometime in the future.

I'm glad you enjoyed the DMZ tour with me. I also appreciate the opportunity to tour with you and your husband. Luckily, it snowed early in the morning and we were able to enjoy the beautiful snow-covered scenery. I hope you make many happy memories during the rest of your time in Korea. I hope everything goes well with you and your family.

“Seoul city tour”
Had a great day with Thomas who showed us around. He organised a vegetarian lunch for me at a restaurant called the Mapel Tree House. Great food and for the meat eaters. Thomas has lots of knowledge, he was super organised, provided hand warmers which were a life saver in the cold. Thomas went 200% out of his way to make our day fabulous and one we will remember for a long time. Thank you Thomas you were the best guide.

Hi, I’m Jay, your local host in Seoul! This is a city that never fails to amaze me with its energy and beauty. From the breathtaking sunsets over the Hangang River to the vibrant streets buzzing with life, this city is full of charm and surprises. One of my favorite things to do is take in the stunning skyline from Namsan Tower – it’s a view that truly captures the spirit of Seoul. I have a deep appreciation for Seoul’s rich history and culture, and I love exploring its historic palaces, bustling local markets, and the newest hot spots around town. Whether we’re wandering through ancient landmarks or discovering trendy neighborhoods, I’ll share insights that connect Seoul’s past to its dynamic present. I’m here to make your visit fun, engaging, and memorable. Let’s explore the heart of Seoul together and uncover the city’s many stories!

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.
