Hi, I’m Jay, your local host in Seoul! This is a city that never fails to amaze me with its energy and beauty. From the breathtaking sunsets over the Hangang River to the vibrant streets buzzing with life, this city is full of charm and surprises.

I have a deep appreciation for Seoul’s rich history and culture, and I love exploring its historic palaces, bustling local markets, and the newest hot spots around town. Whether we’re wandering through ancient landmarks or discovering trendy neighborhoods, I’ll share insights that connect Seoul’s past to its dynamic present. I’m here to make your visit fun, engaging, and memorable. Let’s explore the heart of Seoul together and uncover the city’s many stories!

Jay was fantastic starting with when we first signed up all the way through our experience. He was fantastic at communicating and finding out our preferences in advance. He met us right in our hotel lobby and personalized the entire tour experience. He is super knowledgeable and also was very good at taking photographs!

We had a private guided tour with guide, Jaen. He was very professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. He made some suggestions that we gladly accepted in order to maximize our sightseeing experience. In his pleasant ways, he gave us a broad overview of many sites and interesting areas of Seoul and provided us with valuable information that we would never have known about without his explanation. We would highly recommend this tour!
