If you don't visit Jeju Island, you can't say to your friends that you've been to South Korea! Jeju is the best jewel of nature Korea has to offer with seasonally different faces and culturally unique images. I'm Lydia, newly registered tour guide here in 2017 and a licensed tour guide for customized private tour with 8 year-professional experiences, living on this beautiful volcanic island. Being a "people person" and having wide curiosity about different cultures and people with various backgrounds, I'm very passioned about my wonderful job (like a formfitting suit just for me!). I've a solid background in guiding different types of tours, ranging from Eco tour, Geo tour, art and architecture tour, UNESCO heritage tour and culinary tour to mention some. Having traveled many countries as a tourist, I realized that Jeju island is a magical place and offers different types of nature in a place as small as an island: beaches with turquoise blue water and blackish lava rocks and dense forests in volcanic cones, waterfalls, lava tubes, snow-capped mountains. . . For me, Jeju is the true place of heart-beating discoveries in the middle of nature, culture and people on a daily basis. Make you as your tour guide and let's discover together what Jeju Island has to offer, its unique geological features, cultural and natural assets, which are considered World Heritage by UNESCO. All the tours can be tailor-made according to your interests based on my recommendation. All you need to do is let me know what you feel like doing and seeing and I will create an itinerary JUST FOR YOU! Anyone with any religious, cultural or regional background is welcome! I fully understand that food and coffee time are two important factors to make your trip complete. Would you leave that on me? Additionally I put some recommended and seasonally available activities and experiences you may do, which are not listed on my 'pulished tours', as you can pick that on your own.

This is my own pick for a comprehensive 3 days tour of Jeju island, allowing you to discover the main highlights of the island in 3 days. Jeju island is 3 times bigger than Seoul, so a 3-days tours is most recommended for you to fully explore the island. Basically, Jeju tour should go on 3 parts of Jeju basis : west, south and east, each of which has its own features and different faces. Through this tour, you can visit iconic natural sites along with cultural touch and signature food, circling the island. Background stories and technical information will be told at each destination. Often you may be bumped into by unexpected wonder and beauty of nature or warm-hearted locals. If you want, I can focus more in certain areas if you like! Just let me know and I will customize the itinerary to your desires. Make it clear first where you want to visit and do! I can create any schedules just for you.
