Hello, I'm Jihyun, but everyone calls me Ruth. I'm your local host in Seoul. What I love most about this vibrant city is its cultural richness, mouthwatering cuisine, efficient public transportation, and K-Pop pulse and entertainment. With its diverse neighborhoods and innovative technology, Seoul truly offers something for everyone. One of my favorite pastimes in Seoul is exploring its culinary scene. Every weekend, I embark on a quest to discover the finest eateries in every city corner. Whether you're craving traditional Korean dishes or international flavors, I'll guide you to the hidden gems. My passion for history takes me to Seoul's historic sites, like Gyeongbokgung and Jogyesa Temple. I find visiting these places to be a fascinating journey through heritage and architecture. I can't wait to show you Seoul like a true local. See you soon!

    Jihyun was the perfect guide! She completely customized the tour for our preferences and she was flexible to make adjustments and recommendations throughout the day based upon how it was going and what we were seeing. She was very kind and patient. She was knowledgeable and provided the information and history of the various places we visited. She even provided recommendations for the remainder of our trip based upon our interests. I'm so happy that Jihyun was our tour guide and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

    Ruth Park was a great guide for us in Seoul. She was very considerate of us and let us tour at our own speed, showing consideration for our age. Very pleased with her.
