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.

He handled our reservations, made sure we stayed on time, and answered all of our questions. It was so interesting to hear from a North Korean defector and see into North Korea. We learned so much on this visit thanks to Oliver. Oliver’s vehicle was...

This was the best tour I’ve ever taken. Oliver was the perfect guide. He was so organized and helped us maximize our time in Seoul. We learned so much as we toured the palace, museum, Hanok village, and more. Oliver let us go at our own pace and was able to accommodate our preferences, but still had great suggestions that kept our day full and interesting. His vehicle was...
