The guide was very knowledgable on the historical aspects of all of the places he was showing to us and our conversations with him were very easy. We would use him as a guide on any trip.

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.

This tour exceeded all expectations! Denny did a fabulous job tailoring the tour to our preferences and then very efficiently making sure we had a full experience during the tour. He drove us from site to site very efficiently and knew how to avoid traffic and find the best parking spots. We did just the right amount of walking and saw traditional sights in non-traditional ways as well as his own hidden gems. Denny was very knowledgeable, friendly, and highly efficient. We got so much out of the tour - an unforgettable experience!

Amazing Tour of Seoul! Everyone in our group of 6 had a great time. From 4 year old daughter to 65 year old Grandma. Highly recommend Denny. Thank you!

We had a great tour of Seoul with Kun-yong (Denny) Yu. We just had one day in Seoul and our tour with Denny maximized the visit. He picked us up at our hotel and whisked us around the city in his car. We were able to get to the key sights and he was amazingly good at navigating the traffic and leading us around. He is extremely knowledgeable about Seoul and we felt after our 5 hours with him that we had a good feel for the Korean people, their history, and their culture. He also had good recommendations for us for additional things to do during the remainder of our day. His English is excellent and he has a pleasant personality which made the time with him not only worthwhile but enjoyable.

Hire Denny for your tour! This was a last minute booking for us, and I'm so thankful that we did! First, Denny is very prompt in his communication so that put us at ease. The day of the tour, Denny worked very hard to make our visit as pleasant and efficient as possible. He is also a wealth of information. You will not be disappointed!
