About Tour Guide Paul K.

Hello, I am Paul. I’m Korea’s only traditional culture guide deeply rooted in authentic Confucian philosophy. I am tour guide with proven record track of over 300 tours for international tourists.

My goal of tour guide is to help tourists create archives in their minds for the records of memory and the space holding hidden historical and cultural stories and values.

My specialty is Korean traditional architecture, art and mountain hiking, deeply rooted in Confucian culture & history.

Architecture and art are center of tour. The tour is designed to offer authentic appreciation of Korean traditional architecture and culture, through basic, intellectual information of Confucianism, provided before tour starts. Confucianism is quintessence of Korea's traditional culture and current Korea’s cultural identity.
