Hello and welcome to South Korea! I joined ToursByLocals in 2024 and was honored with a 2026 Golden Guide Award for my DMZ tours delivering the most well-structured and immersive experiences during a single day. This is a highly selective distinction, as only about 25 winners are chosen from a global network of over 5,000 guides across 170 countries. Before becoming a tour guide, I traveled extensively around the world and within Korea. Prior to this, I spent 15 years working for multinational corporations. I also received my MS degree from a renowned university in the United States. I love not only traveling, but hiking, camping, fishing, skiing, and photography. If you are looking for a friendly guide with fluent English and also with internationally accepted manners, you have found the right person. If you are also looking for someone who can cover a wide range of topics such as Korean history & culture, North Korean relations, military issues, the economy, and education, Bingo! My mission is to make the tours fun and memorable. That is why I always study different places, Korean history, and culture. It is fun for me to do so. I will prepare every tour schedule carefully by considering different variables and I will discuss it with the clients. Also, for your convenience, my tours can be done with a brand-new 11-seater Van with 4WD and dual sunroofs.

DMZ tour was our second tour with Oliver during our vacation in Seoul. Oliver was communicative right from when I booked the private tour. As the first tour, he was early to pick us up from our Airbnb. He was great at explaining the history of Korea during the tour and answering all of our questions (5adults, 1 teen and 2 kids). We had limited time at each location during...

Oliver was an amazing guide! He picked us up at our hotel, had an updated and clean vehicle, and was very kind and polite. He was highly knowledgeable about DMZ, appeared passionate about getting us the best tickets and viewing locations, and went out of his way to make us comfortable. He was great with our kids and even took us a to a local village for an amazing lunch....

June 2026It was such a pleasure meeting such delightful people, and it really made my day. I was truly impressed by how you educate your children. I'm sure visiting DMZ and meeting North Korean defectors was a wonderful educational experience for them as well. Also, it was great meeting your friend who is a veteran.
