About Tour Guide Chris L.
Hi there! I'm Chris, and I've been a licensed tour guide since 2004.
Being in a foreign country can sometimes feel a bit daunting and overwhelming.
It's a bit of a challenge when you don't speak the language, but that's all part of the adventure! You'll have to figure out the map, get around, and manage your money. While jet lag is still lingering, you're eager to see as much as possible before your flight departs in a few days.
Relax, my friend! You'll be in the very best hands with your very own reliable tour guide in Korea! I'll be your personal tour guides, helping you plan the perfect itinerary and taking you to all the best tourist attractions Korea has to offer.
I'm a fully licensed, professional tourist guide, and I've been doing this since 2004.
In Korea, you need a special license issued by the Korean government to work as a tourist guide.
I've always had a real passion for history, tradition, and culture.
I'm so proud of my English, and I absolutely love using it to chat with guests about the history and traditions of Korea.
I absolutely love sharing my culture with them and showing them what it's like to be a true Korean.
I'm so excited to show you the best of Korea! Being local is the best way to enjoy the country, and I'm here to help you do just that.
I've been lucky enough to take countless tours myself, so I can offer you a wealth of knowledge to help you get the most out of your time here.

Essence of Seoul, 100% private Full Day Seoul City Tour
Seoul has been the capital of Korea for over 600 years, ever since the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910). During the Joseon Dynasty, it was known as "Hanyang", but after being liberated from Japan in 1945 following World War II, it became known as "Seoul". The capital of the Republic of Korea, Seoul is the most popular tourist destination in the country. There are countless sights and places to visit, such as royal palaces, traditional markets and high-end shopping districts.

Hayoung Y.
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!
