I am a full time English tour guide
Hi, I’m Chris, a Seoul local passionate about sharing the city’s unique blend of old and new. As a history buff, I love exploring the Joseon Dynasty’s royal palaces, wandering traditional open markets, and uncovering hidden gems in Jongno, Jung, and Joongnang districts. I enjoy guiding travelers to the DMZ to discuss modern Korean, Chinese, and Japanese history, as well as taking them off the beaten path to discover Seoul’s living traditions. My curiosity and warmth help me bring the city’s culture, philosophies, and stories to life, making each tour a memorable experience.
