Hello everyone! I'm Denny Yu (Kun-yong), and showing foreign visitors my beautiful & dynamic country is my job, and I enjoy doing it! I am 57 years old and hold a tour guide license issued by the Korean government, which I acquired in 1999. I have been working as a tour conductor for over ten years and started my new career as a local English guide for foreign tourists in 2009. I love my guiding job, which has allowed me to meet friends from all over the world and to show you everything about Seoul and Korea. I can offer authentic private tours of Korea that you and your family will cherish for many years. I primarily offer exclusive, tailor-made tours tailored to your specific wishes. Based on what you want to experience while in Korea, mainly focusing on private trips and small groups, we aim to enhance the joy of travel. I can make your vacation here in Korea a memorable and enjoyable occasion. Just count on me to show you the real Korea in a more personal, guided holiday style. Through your own privately guided tour, you can travel freely without the restrictions of being part of a large group. Please don't hesitate to contact me at your convenience if you're seeking a local tour guide. It will be my great pleasure to show you around Korea. Thank you. Sincerely. Acquired a tour guide license issued by the Korean government in 1999. 10 year's experience as local tour guide in Seoul, Korea. I can handle all of your request except illegal act.
