About Tour Guide Pam K.
I’m a Korean-Canadian professional tour guide, fully certified and passionate about sharing the culture, history, and food of Korea with you.
Having spent my early years in Korea before moving to Canada for 17 years, I have a unique perspective that blends both cultures. My love for Korean food, history, culture, and the warmth of its people inspired me to pursue a career as a tour guide after traveling the world.
Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of leading more than 1,000 professional tours for over 3,000 travelers from 70 different countries. With native-level proficiency in both Korean and English, I strive to create engaging experiences that connect Eastern and Western cultures as we explore this beautiful country together.
I look forward to guiding you through the rich tapestry of Korea, where you will have the opportunity to explore many highlights and hidden gems of the city, including the majestic royal palaces, the charming traditional Hanok village, vibrant traditional markets, and exciting street food areas!
