About Tour Guide Ari K.

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.


Feel free to drop me a message – let's embark on a journey to discover the genuine beauty of Korea!

Ari was everything you could dream of in a guide

For our two days with Ari in Seoul, I sent a few ideas for our tour. She wonderfully advised and arranged for those vists. But not only that, she supplimented with fun and interesting attractions that we so enjoyed... things we would not have know of on our own. Ari was very kind and positive and helpful. She was a joy to be with. She worked to ensure that each of us was enjoying the tour and all needs were met. We did historical things, K-pop things, and food! Her command of English is fluent and natural. You can consider her your very capable true and trusted friend.

I really appreciate it. It meant a lot that you were so open to my ideas and genuinely listened. If you ever come back to Korea, please get in touch — I’d love to see you again. Thanks again, truly.

Custom Seoul Tour

We spent a day with Ari going on a custom tour of Seoul markets and a few other attractions. We had a wonderful time. It was hot and a little rainy, but we improvised our plans and had a great day seeing the city, learning about it, and getting to know each other. It was our first day in Seoul, and having Ari by our side to help us learn the ropes of getting around town and interacting as non-Korean speakers was incredibly helpful. Ari even offered to act as an impromptu translator if we needed help at another time throughout or trip--she said to call her ay time we needed her. We could not recommend her enough!

Hi.Taryn H.Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. That day we shared together was just as memorable and joyful for me as well. Even those short moments of walking in the rain were so much fun, and the café where we had coffee was truly lovely, wasn’t it? Our time at the botanical garden felt almost like a midsummer night’s dream. I feel deeply grateful that I was able to meet you both on your very first trip to Asia—and especially your first visit to Korea—where your warmth and love for each other were so beautifully felt. I sincerely hope that our paths will cross again someday.

Ari went Above and Beyond – Highly Recommended!

We had an amazing experience in Seoul thanks to our incredible tour guide, Ari. Her English was excellent, and she was not only knowledgeable about Korean history and daily life but also incredibly kind and helpful throughout the entire day. Ari went above and beyond—after the tour, she helped us book train tickets and even arranged medication for us. She truly made our trip smoother and more enjoyable. A lovely, caring person and a fantastic guide—highly recommended! P.S.: Ari - if you come to London please let us know. We would love to meet you and show you our home city :)

Hello, I’ve read your warm reviews many times. Although it was just a short one-day tour, I hope all the happy moments we shared will remain in your heart for a long time. I was so glad to have the chance to meet your family. I truly hope that one day, whether in Korea or the UK, we can meet again, enjoy a happy meal together, and reminisce about the time we spent. Please keep the good memories of Korea with you for a long time. Once again, I sincerely thank you for using the Gowith site and for coming to find me. Miss you a lot!
