About Tour Guide Kevin L.

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.

An Unforgettable DMZ Tour with Kevin

Our DMZ tour with Kevin was a great experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. From start to finish, Kevin was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing the history of the Korean War and the significance of the DMZ. The descent into one of the 4 tunnels underneath the DMZ was spine tingling. Visiting the war memorial for the Gloucestershire Battalion was a particularly moving experience, and Kevin’s explanations helped us truly appreciate the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought alongside the South Koreans. The final stop at the Gamaksan Suspension Bridge was a perfect way to end the day, offering breathtaking views and a moment to reflect on the historical journey we had just experienced. If you're looking for a well-rounded and insightful DMZ tour, we highly recommend Kevin!

Seoul City Tour: A Perfect Blend of Tradition and Modernity

From the historical grandeur of Gyeongbokgung Palace to the modern charm of N Seoul Tower, Kevin’s tour gave a perfect snapshot of Seoul’s rich heritage and dynamic culture. The first stop on the tour was Gyeongbokgung Palace, and it truly set the tone for the day. The sheer scale and beauty of the palace are breathtaking, and the detailed architecture reflects Korea’s royal history. Watching the changing of the guard ceremony was a particular highlight, offering a glimpse into the traditions that have been maintained over centuries. Bukchon Hanok Village is a charming neighbourhood where traditional Korean hanok houses are still lived in today. Insadong was our next stop, and it was an exciting blend of the old and new. The bustling streets are lined with art galleries, traditional tea houses, antique shops, and contemporary boutiques. One of the most unforgettable parts of the tour was a visit to N Seoul Tower, perched atop Namsan Mountain. The panoramic views of Seoul from the observation deck were amazing, giving us a sense of how vast and diverse the city really is. To wrap up the day, we headed to Gwangjang Market, one of Seoul’s oldest and most famous traditional markets. The atmosphere was vibrant, with friendly vendors offering samples of their goods. Kevin was a great help in steering us towards what local delicacies to try. Kevin put together a Seoul City Tour that provided an enriching and well-rounded experience of the city, showcasing everything from its royal history to its lively street markets. He created a tour that balanced both cultural exploration and modern attractions. We highly recommend this tour with Kevin.

Great Tour Blending Korean Tradition & Modernity

We had an lovely experience on the Korean Tradition & Modernity tour in Seoul, thanks to Kevin. The Korean Folk Village was a wonderful glimpse into Korea’s heritage, and Kevin provided insights into traditional Korean life and customs. Hwaseong Fortress was equally impressive. To top it all off, the visit to Starfield Library was a perfect example of modern Korea’s innovation and beauty. If you’re looking for a well-balanced tour that showcases both Korea’s deep traditions and modern wonders, this is a must! Thank you again for the experience!

Who you travel with is as important as where you go and what you see. Here I am for you! I have obtained official tour guide certificate in 2018. I appreciate a lot of good reviews and kudos directly to me or indirectly through multi-national or Korean travel agencies. Here are some extracts from the reviews. Quote; "Our tour guide Andy, in south Korea was exceptional, making the experience both educational and entertaining. His in-depth knowledge about the history and culture of the area was impressive, and he shared fascinating stories that brought the sites to life. His passion for the job was extremely good, leaving us with wonderful memories and a deeper appreciation for Korea." ; Unquote On this ocassion, I would like to express gratitude from my warm heart to all the travelers whom I have met. And, more about myself, I was born and raised in Seoul. Before becoming a tour guide, I had been working in Petrochemical Industry for major Korean conglomerates for quite a long timeframe. And, for developing overseas business projects of the enterprises. I resided in Indonesia and Vietnam as an expatriate for about 9 years. Working in an international business environment and in a big organization gave me chances to broaden my views of the world and better understand diverse perspectives, cultures, religion, economics and politics as well. And, as I like reading books, my understanding about Korean history and human beings have been deepened with time. You will see real Korea with the unviased vision through the eyes of real Korean. Multiple days tour is also recommended. I can organise it reflectimg your tastes! Come and enjoy with me!
