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.

    Sally took us around Seoul for 3 days. She’s knowledgeable about the history of the city. Definitely tell her what you like and she will come up with things not necessarily in the guide books. I like art and gardens. She added an art cafe for lunch and a stroll through the Olympic sculpture garden. She definitely wants to please you. I also recommend hiring a taxi all day...

    I could not have imagined a more perfect day!!!! Prior to the tour I reached out the Sally with a very specific list of places and experiences I wanted to book which were not the usual spots most western visitors go to. She was able to get all of my appointments booked for me and I genuinely appreciate all of her help in making those appointments. On the day of the...

    Sally is a great tour guide--my wife and I asked her for a customized tour of modern architecture in the Gangnam area, and Sally really came through for us. She researched and put together an excellent tour to meet our needs, and arranged for a car and driver, so that we could see more buildings in the time available. We saw some great architectural projects, as we hoped,...
