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.

Royal Heritage + Cultural Immersion + Relaxation Experience

“Excellent and Knowledgeable Tour Guide”
Juhee K. is very friendly, helpful and assisted us from her proposed itinerary to places of attractions to the booking process. She even offered to meet us at our hotel since it is our first time visiting South Korea and we are not familiar with transportation around Seoul. Best of all, she taught me and my wife basic Korean phrases and accompanied us during meals so that we can try to order food ourselves in Korean language. Strongly recommend her to anyone visiting South Korean and considering a personal tour guide!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure meeting you and being part of your first trip to South Korea. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the itinerary, the food experiences, and even learning a little Korean along the way You and your wife did such a great job trying to order in Korean, and I really appreciated how open and enthusiastic you were throughout the tour. That always makes the experience more meaningful and fun for me as a guide too. Thank you again for your trust and the review. I hope you will come back to Korea again someday, and until then, I wish you both safe travels and wonderful memories together!

“A grand day out right in the city of Seoul”
We had a great day together with Juhee 씨! She put a lot of effort into the preparation of our experience, and so we had it all in just one day: history and beauty of Changdeokgung, a traditional meal for lunch, tea in a traditional teahouse in Insadong, shopping support for special items (fabric and calligraphy paraphernalia in my case) and the more than happy ending in a relaxing way in a jjimjilbang (sauna). We were chatting away with Juhee the whole time throughout and were introduced to Korean culture and customs along the way. It felt like spending time with a good friend! She went above and beyond to meet (and exceed!) our expectations. Thank you so much for this day!
Juhee K.
Hi Sandra! Thank you so much for your review You and Oprah were such wonderful people to spend time with. Your smiles and kindness truly made my day, and it was such a joy showing you both around! I hope you had a lovely time in Korea, and I hope to see you again someday!

I received a license in 2016 from the Korea Tourism Organization as a qualified professional tour guide. I have guided a variety of tours for people and tourists from all over the world and have been doing so for over 9 years. Before being a tour guide I spent most of my career working in the banking industry for almost 30 years, starting with Korea First Bank which later became a US based Newbridge Capital and UK based Standard Chartered Bank until I retired in 2016. My experience in the banking industry was very much customer-first and dealing with the public which laid the cornerstone and passion to becoming a tour guide. After retiring from the bank, I worked as a lecturer for a volunteering organization run by the local public office and taught students about the environment and disabilities. With various experiences and personal management skills, these challenges have provided a real life, hands on cultural nuances which will promote friendship and expand life experiences between different cultures. I'm based in Seoul but will be happily arrange the tours to Busan, Gyeongju, Sokcho, Jeonju etc. as a customized tour. Feel free to drop me a request message.
