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.

The zone has been protected from human disturbance for more than seven decades and has unintentionally become a haven for wildlife, making it a popular destination for nature lovers.
