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

Learn Korean and Practice It Live-Confident in Korea
If you’ve ever felt nervous about traveling in Korea because of the language barrier, this experience is for you. In just 3 hours, you’ll learn the basics of Hangul and practice essential Korean expressions with my custom workbook. We’ll start with a fun indoor session, reading Hangul, writing your name, and saying useful phrases. Then we’ll head out to practice in real life. Once you can read Hangul and say a few key phrases, Korea opens up to you and it gets a lot more fun.

“Great tour in Seoul”
Thanks to Jeeseon for the great tour. It had a lot of great information both about history and modern life in Korea. Thanks for giving me more information about Korean life and culture. I learned a lot. And Jeeseon was a very pleasant and personable tour guide. Be sure to seek her out as your tour guide.

Thank you so much for your warm and kind review. I feel lucky that I had the chance to meet a guest like you, someone who is genuinely curious and interested in another culture. Even though our time was short and the weather was very hot, I hope the tour helped you get a meaningful overview of Seoul and Korean life. If you have a chance to visit Korea again, I would love for you to experience the country more slowly and deeply next time. I hope you have a safe trip home, and thank you again.

Kevin. Thank you so much for your warm review. I will never forget the tour with your family either. It was very hot that day, but the children were so brave and cheerful throughout the tour. I’m truly grateful for that. I hope your time in Seoul remains a happy memory for your family.

“Exploring like a local with a good friend ”
Jeeseon made my first trip to Korea unforgettable. From the moment we met, she felt more like a longtime friend than a tour guide. She customized the experience around my interests and enriched every stop with detailed historical and cultural context. Beyond being incredibly knowledgeable, she is also a fantastic Korean language teacher who explains concepts clearly and makes learning enjoyable. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail truly set her apart. If you’re visiting Korea and want a personalized, insightful, and memorable experience, I cannot recommend Jeeseon highly enough.
Jeeseon C.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind review. I don't think you realize how happy I was to meet you. My K-drama friend! Sometimes I felt like you knew even more about Korea than I do. I had such a wonderful time exploring Seoul with you, talking about Korean culture, history, language, and of course K-dramas. It never felt like work, it felt like spending the day with a good friend. I have a feeling your Korean is going to get really good. Keep studying and watching K-dramas! And whenever you see one of the places we visited appear on screen, I hope it brings back good memories and makes you smile. Thank you again for this warm review. It truly means a lot to me and gives me so much encouragement. Take care, and I hope we can meet again someday!

Hi, I’m Hayoung. You can also call me Iris. I have always been drawn to things that feel different, so I want to make your trip less typical, more personal, and closer to the local side of Korea. I’m a licensed local guide based in Seoul, with a young, trendy, and stylish perspective on Korea. I love introducing both the classic side of Seoul, such as palaces, history, and culture, and the modern local side, including fashion, cafés, beauty, food, hidden spots, and current trends. Before becoming a guide, I worked as a travel blogger and majored in fashion design. This background helps me create tours with a good sense of storytelling, photo spots, style, and practical travel tips. I also have my own curated list of more than 1,000 restaurants & beautiful spots, so I can recommend food & sightseeing spots based on your taste, budget, mood, and travel style. I can also create custom tours based on your interests, whether you want modern Seoul, palace tours, fashion and shopping, local food, Korean nature, or even remote hidden destinations beyond Seoul. (especially NATURE) More than anything, I truly love travel and meeting people from around the world. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and excited, like exploring Korea with a local friend who also happens to be a professional guide. Let’s explore Korea together and make your trip unforgettable!
