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.

    I’m a mum travelling with my two daughters (age 12 and 15) and we booked a full-day tour with Sally at the beginning of our stay in Seoul. We are so glad we did. Sally showed us both old and new Seoul, and she was very good at picking up on our interests along the way. We covered a lot, had great conversations and really enjoyed spending the day with her. Most...

We visited Jogyesa Temple, Gyeongbokgung Palace and the Royal Guards Changing Ceremony, the National Folk Museum, Bukchon Hanok Village, Insadong...

    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...
