Despite its name, it is one of the most heavily guarded borders in the world. This tour is not just a visit to a historical site; it is also a journey toward understanding the reality of division and the hope for peace on the Korean Peninsula.

“Day Tour with Sally K”
Sally K met us each day with our itinerary planned as well as a discussion around suggestions and any changes we would like made. She was very knowledgeable about both historical and current events. Her warm friendly nature made for a memorable visit to South Korea and we would certainly recommend her to friends and family in the future.

“A two day in Seoul with Sally”
We had an amazing time in Seoul thanks to our guide, Sally! We are a group of seven people from europe and the states , old friends that travel each year to a different country! We go as a private group and always get a local Guide to help us get around , Seoul is huge you need a driver and a guide at least for the first two days ! Sally picked us from our hotel eveeyday always with a smile and help us see everything we wanted in 8 hours each day ! We are 7 so everybody sometimes has an interest in something else, we got to see cherry blossoms , the palaces , amazing neighborhoods totally diverse from each other, and thanks to her we had a very stress free! We even went shopping plus ate street food to the local markets ! sally is highly recommended!

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. It was such a pleasure spending time with your wonderful group. I loved how each of you brought different interests and energy, which made the tour even more fun and dynamic! Wishing all seven of you many more amazing trips around the world together. See you again. :)

“Amazing KPop Demon Hunters Tour”
Sally was an incredible tour guide who did a fantastic job taking us to important scenes from the film (she had the scenes available on her iPad to show us we were indeed at the same staircase, viewpoint, etc) while also weaving in Korean history and culture. She was able to fully customize our tour and adapt on the fly as we ended up only having 5 hours in Seoul (it was a cruise stop for us from Incheon) and the Seoul Marathon was on. We highly recommend Sally and will book her for other tours when we’re in Seoul for a longer visit. If you / your children are into K-pop I’d suggest considering adding HiKR Ground to your itinerary

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review!

I would love to welcome you again in the future. Wishing you and your family wonderful travels ahead!

I received a license in 2016 from the Korea Tourism Organization as a qualified professional tour guide. I have guided a variety of tours for people and tourists from all over the world and have been doing so for over 9 years. Before being a tour guide I spent most of my career working in the banking industry for almost 30 years, starting with Korea First Bank which later became a US based Newbridge Capital and UK based Standard Chartered Bank until I retired in 2016. My experience in the banking industry was very much customer-first and dealing with the public which laid the cornerstone and passion to becoming a tour guide. After retiring from the bank, I worked as a lecturer for a volunteering organization run by the local public office and taught students about the environment and disabilities. With various experiences and personal management skills, these challenges have provided a real life, hands on cultural nuances which will promote friendship and expand life experiences between different cultures. I'm based in Seoul but will be happily arrange the tours to Busan, Gyeongju, Sokcho, Jeonju etc. as a customized tour. Feel free to drop me a request message.
