Hello, I’m a tour guide who loves Seoul! From the timeless beauty of ancient palaces and hanok villages to the vibrant, trendsetting streets and cafes, I’ll guide you through Seoul’s unique blend of tradition and modernity.

Whether it’s discovering the most sought-after spots or hidden treasures, I’ll ensure you experience the very finest of what this dynamic city has to offer. With me, your journey won’t just be about visiting landmarks; it will be about truly understanding and feeling the essence of Seoul. And, of course, I ask for mutual respect and kindness during our time together to ensure a warm and unforgettable experience. Let’s explore the rich culture and vibrant energy of Seoul together. I look forward to meeting you soon!

We had such a jam-packed day seeing all the sights, and honestly, we couldn’t have done it without GJ’s guidance! She kept everything perfectly organised so we made the most of our time. What made the day even more special was how amazing she was with our 4-year-old daughter. Our little one absolutely adored her and formed such a genuine connection — GJ truly has a gift for making kids feel comfortable and included. Her local knowledge was outstanding, and she answered all of our many questions with patience and detail. We walked away not only with memories but with a deeper understanding of the area thanks to her. We’d 100% book through GJ again when we come back. She’s an absolute gem and made our trip unforgettable!

We had some last minute change of plans and I could not go anymore, but our guide was able to accommodate everything and still make it a great experience for my friend. Thank you!

GJ was awesome! On time and friendly right from the start. It was a rainy day but she still made it fun and interesting. I loved in Seoul 40 years ago and she totally helped my walk down memory lane. She even found my old apartment that I used to live in! She also gave me information on where to shop, where to eat and where to get the world famous Korean Body Scrub. She was just amazing and I would highly recommend this fun, friendly and energetic young lady to anyone who wants a totally custom tour of Seoul! A 5 star tour guide for sure!
