Welcome to Korea! Welcome to Seoul! My name is Minho, and I am a licensed tour guide offering private tours in Korea. Having been born and raised in a small town, completed my high school and college education in a bustling city, and subsequently residing in Seoul for the past 25 years, I bring a wealth of experience to my role. With a professional background spanning over 30 years in both local and global companies within the automotive and IT industries, I am confident that traveling with me will be a captivating and enriching experience. My 27-month military service at a US army base in Korea becomes particularly advantageous during a DMZ tour, offering valuable insights into the history and relationship between North and South Korea. Driven by a passion for sharing knowledge, experiences, and insights into Korean culture and lifestyle, I am equally eager to learn from you. I am confident in my ability to ensure you have a memorable and enjoyable stay in Korea. Having served as an official tour guide during the 2018 Winter Olympics in Korea, where I facilitated the transportation of athletes and tourists between the Olympic Village and Seoul over a two-week period, I am well-versed in managing diverse needs and expectations. All of my tours are custom-tailored to your preferences, guaranteeing exciting days filled with learning about our people, history, and culture, visiting remarkable places, and capturing beautiful moments through photography. If you aspire to create unforgettable memories during your stay in Korea, I encourage you to contact me promptly. * National English speaking tour guide license issued by KTO (Korea Tourism Organization) * Official tour guide for 2018 Winter Olympic in Korea * 30+ Experience in global companies * Military service in US army in Korea None

This national park covers 154 square miles (398 square kilometers) and is UNESCO Biosphere Protection site.
