Hello. Wonderful travelers! I am Benny. Looking for a guide with the knowledge of unique cafes, traditional restaurants, history museums, panoramic observation decks, and historical architectures? If so, you hit the spot. Benny is here for you. I had majored in law in Univ. and had worked for about 10 years in a Bank before becoming a Tourist Guide. So, if you are interested in such a topic, I can tell you in-depth about Korean politics and economy. Korea has made remarkable progress in a short period of time. Aren't you curious about the secret of the fast development? If you're a huge fan of K-drama or K-pop, don't hesitate to ask where the drama or music video was filmed. I would also like to recommend K-dramas or movies that best explain Korea's past. I believe that tourist attractions have their true meaning when accompanied by a story. There are many different tours to the same tourist attraction. However, if you look at the reviews, you can find very different reactions. I think that the most valuable result depends on how much background the guide knows and how well he connects it to the attraction. My tour, as you know, is a private tour. You are the only traveler/travelers on the tour. Unlike group tours where many people go together at the same time, you don't have to look around other travelers in your group to ask your guide questions. Regarding my English, I had been dispatched to the US Army in Korea from the Korean Army (or KATUSA, Korean Augmentation Troops to U. S. Army) for about 2 years. Don't miss the great chance to meet a memorable guide! 1. Korean Tourist Guide(English speaking) License : issued by KTO (Korea Tourism Organization) 2. Korean Tour Conductor(English speaking) License : issued by KATA (Korea Association of Travel Agents) 3. Working-level training for Tourist Guide : trained by KOTGA(Korea Tourist Guide Association) 4. TESOL Certificate (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) trained and issued by Hankuk Univ. of Foreign Studies. I will not do 'Anything illegal' in South Korea. Other than that, I will do my best to help my travelers.

    Benny smile was infectious and he was so knowledgeable of the history of his country that it was not hard to get into SK's history. You will never grow bored with Benny as you can discuss politics, K drama, business and tourism with him! If not for the heat, we would have wanted to see more but overall we saw enough and the restaurants he brought us for lunch was truly...

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and sharing Korea’s history, culture, and everyday life. I really enjoyed our conversations about everything from politics and K-dramas to business and tourism. I’m especially glad you enjoyed the local restaurants I recommended—sometimes the simple places serve the best food!...

    Benny was our guide for the DMZ. He was very knowledgeable and toggled well between English and Korean for our group. He seemed to have limited experience with families of small children tho. We had to ask him twice to stop the car because he started driving away before the kids were all buckled in. He also repeatedly hit hard on the gas and brake causing one of our kids...

    Thank you for your thoughtful and honest feedback. I truly appreciate your kind words and will certainly take your comments to heart. Every family and group has different needs, and your feedback reminded me how important it is to be especially attentive when traveling with young children, particularly in challenging weather conditions. It was a pleasure having your...
