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!
Important
I am a full-time professional tour guide with a license.
I can accommodate various group sizes from a solo-traveler to a big group tour that requires mini / 45-seater bus.
For smaller groups, I offer engaging walking tours that allow for a more exploration of the sights.
I can also organize private transportation with local drivers, ranging from mini vans, mini buses to a 45-seater tour bus.
Please feel free to reach out if you’re interested in discussing a private tour. All tours are completely customizable to fit your preferences!

“Pam Made Our Day Unforgettable Again”
We had our second tour with Pam, and once again we were absolutely enchanted. The visit to the Gamaksan Suspension Bridge and Eunpyeong Hanok Village was wonderful — we loved discovering the countryside and truly appreciated all of Pam’s thoughtful recommendations. She paid close attention to our wishes and adapted the tour perfectly and comfortably for us. The restaurant experience she chose was also amazing and became one of the highlights of our day. A big thank-you to Pam and the driver for making this experience so special. Highly recommended!

“Fantastic DMZ day-trip with Pam”
We had an excellent trip to the DMZ with our English-speaking guide, Pam. She picked us up from the hotel right on time and was incredibly friendly and warm throughout the tour. Pam’s explanations were clear, engaging, and easy to understand, making the entire experience even more meaningful. We also enjoyed a delicious meal together at an authentic local restaurant, which added a special touch to the day. We truly appreciated her professionalism and kindness. Highly recommended!
