About Tour Guide Jeeseon C.

Hi! I’m Jeeseon.

Over the past several years, I’ve been working as a licensed guide, leading travelers from around the world through palaces, temples, hanok villages, traditional markets, and Seoul’s hidden local neighborhoods. I especially enjoy introducing guests to off-the-beaten-path gems and sharing the city’s authentic local atmosphere. Many of my guests say it feels like exploring the city with a thoughtful local friend.

I design every tour with care, balancing history, culture, and everyday life, so each guest can experience Seoul in a personal and memorable way. Guiding is more than a job to me, it’s a way to connect people with the heart of Korea.

My tours are ideal for curious travelers who want more than just sightseeing. I specialize in:

Korean history and culture storytelling

Practical Hangul learning experiences

Hidden gem exploration for repeat travelers

An orientation tour for first-time travelers to Korea with a Hangul learning session

“Great day despite the weather ”

Jeeseon was knowledgeable, organized and flexible given the pouring rain. She even had an extra umbrella for us! We enjoyed a fantastic lunch and the hotteok treat. A great way to spend an unexpected layover in Seoul!

Jeeseon C.

It was a short time, but it was an honor to explore different places with you, Linda. I wish we could have gone to Namsan if it hadn’t rained. I hope the rest of your trip goes smoothly. Thank you!

“Wonderful Private Tour of Gyeongbokgung Palace”

We had an amazing private tour of Gyeongbokgung Palace! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything so clearly, making the history come alive. She was also very kind and made us feel completely comfortable throughout the tour. It was both informative and relaxing — highly recommend to anyone visiting Seoul!

Jeeseon C.

I’m so happy to hear that your guests enjoyed the tour! Their genuine interest in Korean history and the palaces made me even more excited to share the stories. The fact that she said she’d like to return to Korea with her family someday is already the greatest gift. Thank you once again for choosing me as your guide!
