I chose Chris because her profile said she has a good sense of humor and she was a history teacher. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. When you are with Chris, you are in excellent hands. She is knowledgeable, personable, funny, caring and conscientious. She can change plans at the blink of an eye if needed and deals with any situation that is thrown her way. I was blown away by how many tricks of the trade she knew as a result of her years of guiding. Also, she will teach you things not just do things for you if that is what you wish. How to deal with entry fees, how to order in restaurants, or even help you work on your Korean. đ I couldnât have been happier with Chris. If you need a great guide, she is the person for you!

Hello I am Imseong and you can call me Chris. Thank you for visiting my beautiful country. I used to teach Korean history and geography to teenagers. A few years ago, I had a chance to visit Australia and I got a lot of questions about Korea from people in various countries. I wanted to let them know not just an abstract saying of my country being beautiful but also its rich history. That is why I decided to become a tour guide, and studied to get the license. Since then, it has been over 9 years of working as a tour guide. So far I have met hundreds of people from various nationalities. I found out that I like meeting new people and having a conversation with them, sharing the experience of our daily life, history and abundant traditional culture as well. How much have you heard about Korea? There is a Korean proverb,   "Better to see it once, than hear about it a hundred times. " But I can tell you "Better to see and hear than to see only' Pun on your questions, wants and needs including local daily life experience. All tours are customized and I will accompany you to bring fun and excitement to the destination of your choosing.

We really enjoyed our tour with Chris! She is extremely knowledgeable about Korean history as well as funny and energetic. She brought us around the Palace area with great stories and facts that we would never have known on our own. She is an excellent guide who also knows how to bypass tourist lines to get the best experience. We recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn more about Korean history while exploring historic sites. Thank you Chris!
This is a really great tour of Seoul. It is a walking tour, which is really the best way to see the city. Chris is phenomenal. She is super energetic and friendly and is a font of information and knowledge on Korean history. I was truly impressed by how much she was able to impart. She also takes care to modify the tour to her customers' preferences. She is definitely a five star guide.
Our tour guide Chris Imseong Cho is a wonderful young lady with excellent English and highly knowledgeable of Korean history and traditions. In addition to providing interesting information, Chris was also kind and considerate. I highly recommend.
Imseong gave a wonderful tour to my teenage daughter who wanted to learn more about Korean history. She was very willing to meet my daughter at her location and organized a tour that would be suitable for her. My daughter enjoyed the tour and loved learning more about Korea. Thank you!
We loved the tour and highly recommend our guide Imseong for her extensive knowledge, captivating storytelling, and meticulous planning. The pacing was perfect, neither rushed nor dragging, making the tour feel well-balanced and comprehensive.
