With a professional background spanning over 26 years in both local and global companies within the automotive and IT industries, I am confident that traveling with me will be a captivating and enriching experience.
My 30-month military service at a US army base in Korea becomes particularly advantageous during a DMZ tour, offering valuable insights into the history and relationship between North and South Korea.
Driven by a passion for sharing knowledge, experiences, and insights into Korean culture and lifestyle, I am equally eager to learn from you. I am confident in my ability to ensure you have a memorable and enjoyable stay in Korea.
Having served as an official tour guide during the 2018 Winter Olympics in Korea, where I facilitated the transportation of athletes and tourists between the Olympic Village and Seoul over a two-week period, I am well-versed in managing diverse needs and expectations.
All of my tours are custom-tailored to your preferences, guaranteeing exciting days filled with learning about our people, history, and culture, visiting remarkable places, and capturing beautiful moments through photography.

DMZ and War Memorial Museum
The DMZ serves as the separation line between the Korean peninsula's North and South, creating a 4km wide and 250km long neutral zone that is unparalleled worldwide. Exploring this region provides a unique opportunity to sense and experience the delicate balance between tension and peace that exists between the two Korea.

“Excursion to Seoul from our cruise port. ”
Minho Kang met us right inside the cruise terminal building with a sign which was very convenient. He was such an awesome guide. He told us so much about everything we saw and you could tell how much he loved his country and he wanted to please us. He explained in detail the history about everything we saw and you could tell how much he enjoyed showing us very important parts of Seoul. We saw such beautiful things and he was very patient when we wanted to take pictures and take our time to admire everything we were seeing. He took us to a pharmacy so my sister could buy medicine and helped her find the right product for her needs. I bought a postcard that I wanted to mail to my grandson and he stamped it and put it in the mail for me because the post office was already closed. I thought that was so generous of him. I think our tour lasted longer than what we booked it for and we all had a great time with him.

“Outstanding Tour of Seoul”
My wife and I enjoyed an outstanding tour of Seoul with Minho. He worked with me to customize the day’s tour to include sites that we were most interested in visiting. Communication was great in planning and while on the tour. Fluent in English. Easy going and flexible but focused enough to keep us on time. Patient in answering our many questions. I highly recommend Minho as your guide for South Korea.
