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!

Seoul Tour Customized for a Family

Ari compiled a custom tour for our English speaking family. She gave us excellent advice on what sites to focus on to get a taste of history, food, design, and shopping. Ari spoke about history and culture with ease and clarity, using her schoolteacher skills. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your warm and thoughtful review. It was a true pleasure sharing Korean history and culture with your wonderful family. I will never forget your beautiful smiles and kindness. I hope your memories in Korea stay with you for a long time, and I would be delighted to welcome you again someday.

Incredible Experience with Ari in Seoul!

Ari is a fantastic guide. She has so much energy and is incredibly kind. We learned so much about the history and traditions of Seoul. She was especially warm and caring with our kids. My daughter cried when our time with Ari ended, she was so sad that we wouldn't be spending more time with her. Ari is also extremely organized and was very helpful in planning and some of the logistical elements of our trip. She was generous with her time and attention, clearly striving to make sure we had a great experience in Seoul. Highly recommend Ari as a guide, especially for families.

Even as I write this, I’m looking at the gifts your kids gave me. The time I spent in Seoul with you and your family was incredibly special and meaningful to me as well. I will always hold close to my heart the unforgettable moments we shared—going out for delicious Korean barbecue, learning K-pop dances, grabbing tasty street food together, and visiting museums. Even though our tour together lasted only four days, seeing the children cling to me on the day we said goodbye brought me to tears on my way home. I will always miss you and your family. Please don’t hesitate to reach out whenever you come back to Korea. Thank you, truly and from the bottom of my heart. I wish you and your family continued happiness and good fortune, always.

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.
