Hi, I’m Paul, your local host in Seoul! What I love most about this fascinating city is its unique role in the modern world. Seoul seamlessly blends traditional values with a vibrant urban culture, offering endless opportunities to explore its deep-rooted heritage. I’m passionate about introducing visitors to how Korea’s traditional architecture reflects its cultural ideals. One of my favorite activities is hiking up Bukhansan Mountain, right in the heart of Seoul, for breathtaking views and a serene escape. I also enjoy guiding guests to historical treasures like the DMZ at Imjingak, the Korea Folk Village in Yongin, and the Hahoe Village in Andong. With a deep knowledge of Seouls heritage, I’m excited to help you uncover the stories and traditions that make Seoul so special. Let’s explore together and create unforgettable experiences!
Paul was perfect- from pre-tour communications , to editing we got a drink and toilet break from the hot sun, to getting us to the train station afterwards. His knowledge of Confucianism was fantastic and helped us understand thousands of years of Korean culture and architecture. We wish we had longer to spend in town, but were only here for 24hrs. Paul packed in the best of the cultural city for us. I highly recommend and you should request him for a very personalized tour experience.
