I'm Sally K., your private tour guide in Seoul

Guide #79065

Welcome to Korea 🇰🇷 I’m a government-certified tour guide dedicated to showcasing the best of Korea — from its iconic landmarks and stunning scenic spots to its hidden local gems across Seoul and other major cities. With over 5 years of professional guiding experience, I have successfully led more than 1,000 guests from around the world. I am trained in VIP protocol and have assisted distinguished guests, including state visitors and delegates to the 2025 APEC Summit. I specialize in delivering refined, seamless, and culturally insightful experiences tailored to each guest. I earned my Master’s degree from George Washington University and previously worked at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington, D.C., U.S.A. Having also lived for many years in Vancouver and Toronto, Canada, I truly enjoy connecting with people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Before becoming a guide, I served as a reporter for the Presidential Council on Nation Branding, where I wrote extensively about Korean history, politics, culture, tradition, inter-Korean relations, cuisine, sports, K-pop, and K-films. This rich background allows me to weave insightful stories and cultural depth into every tour I lead. My greatest joy as a guide is building genuine connections with my guests. By creating a warm, engaging, and personalized atmosphere, I strive to ensure that your time in Korea becomes joyful, meaningful, and truly unforgettable.

    From the very beginning, Sally was very collaborative about "designing" our tour. She listened to our preferences and worked our schedule around our must-sees. I am very glad she brought us to MMCA where we had the chance to experience the special exhibit of Do Ho Suh -- this was so special. Thank you!
