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!

Alongside, I am specialist for hiking to Bukhansan Mt. and Inwangsan Mt. located in downtown Seoul, where you can enjoy beautiful natural sceneris and stunning view of Seoul. Center of culture and tour is architecture. Architectural style represents spirit of times. We can see as much as we know about spirit of times. Without knowledge of spirit of times, we cannot fully appreciate beauty and value of traditional architecture. Confucianism was the spirit of Joseon Dynasty. Gyeongbokgung represents Confucianism. Confucianism culture of Joseon Dynasty is unique characteristic of Korean culture, compared to Chinese, Japanese and European culture. Hence, my tourist information is based on Confucianism. With my deep knowledge of Korean culture & history, you can enjoy your tour in Korea. Thank you for your interest! As your guide, I hope to see you soon in Seoul!
