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 option might take you some time that could cause you to skip one or two listed destinations from 'published tours' and needs you to pay the related fee) These are introduced to help you make your own customized tour. # Basic Natural Sites including UNESCO sites - Seongsan Sunrise Peak Tuff cone - Manjang Lava Tube - Dragon Head Coast - Suwolbong Tuff ring - Cheonjiyeon Waterfall - Cheonjeyeon Waterfall - Jeongbang Waterfall - Jeolmul Forest - Bizarim Forest - Several other volcanic forests - Saebeol Oreum - Yongnooni Oreum - Sangumburi Crater - Ttarabi Oreum - Abu Oreum etc. (personally or seasonally can be picked) - Other recommended or wished natural sites # Cultural Sites - Jeju National Museum - Jeju Natural History Museum - Jeju Stone Culture Park - Seongeup Folk Village - Jeju Folk Village (over 1 hour- walking needed) - Green Tea Farm - Dragon Head Pond & Rock - And so on. . . . # Arts and Architecture Special - Kim Yong Gap Gallery - Jeju Contemporary Art Gallery - Gidang Gallery - Itami June Gallery - Lee Joong Seop Gallery - Other monumental Architectures or Galleries # Activities seasonally available : - Horse-back riding (any season) - Go cart (any season) - Kayaking or Yachting or Power boating (Spring, Summer and Automne) - Scuba diving or Windsurfing (Summer only) - Tangerine Picking (Winter only) # Touristic museums for fun - Ice Museum : Ice sculptures & 3 dimensional optical illusion paintings) - Teddy bear safari : stuffed teddy bears in a variety of fancy settings - Automobile museum : world classic cars and automobiles' history - Glass castle : glass artworks and glass-made displays - Alive museum : several sections with optically illudded paintings & displays - Seashell museum : all possible types of seashells from all over the world - Other recommended or wished places - Tour Guide Certificate issued by KTO (Korea Tourism Organization) - Interpreter Certificate issued by NAI (National Association for Interpretation) - Jeju Eco-Culture Interpreter certificated by Jeju Provincial Government - Nature-Environment Interpreter certificated by Ministry of Environment - Global Geoparks Network Guide of Jeju designated by Jeju UNESCO World Heritage Center

This is my own pick for a comprehensive 2 days tour of Jeju island, allowing you to discover the main highlights of 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 'Going around the Island Tour', you can visit iconic natural sites along with cultural touch and signature food, circling the island in my spacious and comfortable car. 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. I can focus more in certain areas if you like! Just let me know and I will customize the itinerary to your desires.

What an absolutely perfect two days we had in Jeju with Lydia. I cannot say enough good things about our tour. Lydia was friendly, entertaining, accommodating, and took us to places we never would have gone on our own (in a clean and comfortable van as well)! She truly went out of her way to make our brief visit to Jeju an exceptional one - and certainly one we will never forget. I can't recommend Lydia highly enough!!
We had a tight schedule in Jeju, but Lydia made it work and feel like we had enough time to see everything we'd hoped for. It felt like having a friend on the island, skillfully weaving in and out of the tourist areas, and making time for us to relax where the locals frequent. Lydia is a gracious, accommodating, and incredibly kind person. If she offered a full tour of South Korea I would book it in a heartbeat! I look forward to the next time we visit Jeju so we can book another tour and spend more time exploring with her.
Getting to know Jeju with Lydia was a great pleasure. Lydia has a broad and in-depth knowledge of the culture and current events. She was always able to answer my questions competently. I was particularly impressed by her customer-focused approach. She first asked me about my ideas, needs, and wishes and then implemented them professionally with great enthusiasm and commitment! Thank you so much, Lydia. I had a great time and expanded my knowledge of Jeju, the country, and its people.
Highly recommend Lydia as a guide. My wife and I really enjoyed our two days traveling around Jeju island with Lydia in late October. She’s friendly, very informative and came up with a great itinerary based on where we were staying and the weather forecast, which included one sunny/windy day and one cloudy/rainy day. Weren’t able to watch the women divers due to windy conditions and rough seas, but got to see many sights, including bonsai gardens, rock formations, white sandy beach, lava tube, historical houses and temples, and even had a chance to hear a trio rehearsal at a free outdoor park concert. The restaurants Lydia chose for lunch (one seafood and the other black pork bbq) were both delicious. Lots of driving but also lots of time for walking, strolling and hiking. Well worth it!
We had not the best weather, but Lydia managed to the best of it and we had much fun! She explained us everything very well and was kind and funny! We had a great time in Jeju! We ate also very good in places that she brought us! We return happy!
