About Tour Guide Juhee K.
Hi! I’m Juhee, a nationally certified tour guide with the heart of a teacher and a passion for sharing Korea in a meaningful way.
I have over six years of experience teaching Korean to learners from more than 20 countries, ranging from children to adults, both in the U.S. and Korea. Teaching the language naturally led me to culture and history—because once students begin to understand Korean, they always become curious about why things are done a certain way here. I’ve also taught a university summer course, “Introduction to Korean Cinema,” exploring Korean history and society through films and dramas.
That curiosity eventually brought me into tour guiding. My goal is to help visitors understand Korea through stories, context, and real-life experiences, not just facts. Thanks to my teaching background, I explain things clearly and at a comfortable pace—never rushed or overwhelming.
My tours are well-organized, interactive, and friendly. I tailor each experience to guests’ interests, introduce useful Korean expressions along the way, and connect Korea’s past with everyday life today—from royal palaces and historic sites to places locals genuinely enjoy.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, positive, and approachable guide, I’d love to show you around Seoul. Let’s explore Korea with curiosity, clarity, and great energy.
Important
If you don’t see a time that works, just message me in advance and I’ll make it happen. Also, if you’d like a full private tour that’s not listed, let me know—I can create a customized Seoul tour at a similar price.
I want you to fully enjoy your time in Korea and take home unforgettable memories.

“The Perfect Birthday in Seoul Thanks to Juhee!”
I could not have asked for a better way to spend my birthday in Seoul. Juhee put an incredible amount of thought and preparation into creating a day that was completely customized for me, and it truly showed. She went above and beyond from the very beginning, finding the perfect hanbok rental and arranging my hair and makeup, then making our visit to the palace so much more meaningful with her explanations of the royal family, Korean history, and even the stories and significance behind the clothing we were wearing. She didn’t just take me places. She gave me the context and stories that made everything come alive. From the palace to the baseball game, every part of the day felt thoughtfully planned around what I asked for and would enjoy. She even surprised me with a customized birthday cake, which I never expected and was such a special touch. We ended the night in a photo booth taking some seriously fun photos, and by then it honestly felt like I had spent my birthday with a close friend rather than a tour guide. Juhee put so much time, care, and preparation into making my birthday special, and she absolutely succeeded. It was one of my favorite days in Korea and a birthday I will always remember. If you want someone who will genuinely care about creating an amazing, personalized experience in Seoul around what matters to you, book with Juhee. I can't recommend her highly enough.

“The Ultimate Bespoke Seoul Experience – Juhee is an Incredible Guide!”
If you are looking for a guide who goes above and beyond, book Juhee! She created a completely custom, multi-day itinerary for our family of eight (ages 21 to 70). In her own free time, Juhee did extensive research to tailor every detail to our family’s specific needs, interests, and quirks. Instead of crowded tourist traps and long lines, she curated a magical mix of Korean culture, history, and local hidden gems. Day 1: Royal History & Local Flavors Joseon Era & Palace Village: We dressed in traditional hanboks and explored the village surrounding Changdeokgung Palace, learning about royal traditions and architecture. Authentic Local Lunch: Juhee brought us to a quaint, family-owned restaurant off the beaten path where the owner personally served us. We learned the fascinating culture behind Korean side-dish pairings. Neighborhood Tea Shop: We unwound at a bustling local tea shop, enjoying traditional medicinal herbal teas served with true warmth by the owners. Day 2: Serene Temples, Hanji Crafts & Vibrant Markets Magnificent Temple Retreat: Juhee arranged a private van from our Airbnb to a serene, pristine temple outside Seoul. We paid our respects, saw traditional kimchi storage, and enjoyed an ultra-fresh lunch featuring organic vegetables and noodles sourced directly near the DMZ! Interactive Hanji Paper Crafting: In a traditional Hanok village, we sat inside a historic Hanok home with a local teacher and crafted our own Hanji paper souvenirs—a deeply relaxing and unforgettable activity. Local Market Exploration: We finished the day immersing our senses in an authentic neighborhood market, feasting on fresh fruit and local snacks alongside neighborhood residents. Juhee is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and deeply passionate about what she does. Her dedication and behind-the-scenes effort made our Seoul trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We cannot recommend her enough!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and detailed review! ️ It was truly a pleasure to spend those two days with your wonderful family. Planning a trip for eight people with such a wide range of ages was a fun challenge, and I’m so happy that I could create an itinerary that everyone could enjoy. Thank you again for trusting me with your time in Seoul and for your incredibly kind words. I truly hope we have the chance to meet again someday, either in Korea or somewhere along your future travels! ️:)

“Best Tour Guide Ever!”
We had originally booked a tour with Junhee, but our flight was canceled and then delayed again, so we weren’t able to meet on the date we had agreed on. According to the terms, she was not obligated to make up the lost time, but Junhee graciously met us on another date and still took us on the tour. Not only that, she also helped me purchase additional advance tickets to visit the Secret Garden, which I truly appreciated. Junhee is knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful, and has the best personality. She made the experience feel personal and memorable. It’s really the people you meet who make a trip special, and Junhee was definitely one of those people for us. I highly recommend her!

HI Kristen!!! Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot to me. I was so happy that we were able to make the tour happen despite all the flight delays and schedule changes. It was a pleasure meeting all of you, and I’m glad I could help with the Secret Garden tickets as well. I already miss you all! Thank you for making the day so enjoyable and memorable for me too. I hope the rest of your trip was wonderful and that you made many more great memories during your time in Korea. Wishing you safe travels and all the best, and hopefully our paths will cross again someday!
