About Tour Guide Kelly O.
Hey! I'm Kelly :) I have 2 years of experience as a tour guide. I started by showing Korea to my foreign friends and students as a Korean teacher. I can help you make the most of your stay in Korea, as I know many hidden gems and can adjust to your needs and interests. for example history tours, K-pop tours, food&cafe tours, local experience tours, etc. We can also learn some basic Korean if you want, so you can connect with locals! Let's go!

Reviews
“Wonderful time! ”
I had a wonderful time on the tour of Seoul during my layover. Kelly was super helpful, easy to communicate with and easy to meet. She took me around and she was very knowledgeable about all the things we got to see together. I highly recommend her as a tour guide. The best! Don't hesitate! Excellent English too!

Thank you so much for the review, it was very nice to meet you! :) I think we had a lot of good conversation and we got to see many places. I also read the book you gave me and that was impressive, thank you again for that as well!! :D
“Cultural day in Seoul - Hanbok, Palace, Cultural village”
Kelly led us on a fun tour, was patient with our questions, helped us get a nice feel of Seoul on this walking and subway tour, and gave us lots of tips on what to see and do. She patiently waited for us to get our fill of street food in Myeongdong. Overall, a great day out with Kelly!

Thank you! I'm glad you had a nice time and I really enjoyed our tour as well, and also it was interesting to learn things about Singapore so thank you for telling me some stories! Safe flight back and hope to see you again :)
“Best Guide Ever!”
I’ve had a LOT of guides, and Kelly was by far the best. We walked over 10 miles in fairly cold weather through some extremely non-tourist areas, I ate the best tofu stew I’ve ever had in a place I never would have found, she did a boatload of preliminary research and she gave me great instructions for my next couple of kelly-less days. I hate shopping and had a small but weird shopping list that would have taken me and Google Translate half a day but with Kelly’s help it took 10 minutes. No other guide has found me hardware stores. So wonderful! With Kelly anything is possible.
