Hi! I’m Jeeseon. Over the past several years, I’ve been working as a licensed guide, leading travelers from around the world through palaces, temples, hanok villages, traditional markets, and Seoul’s hidden local neighborhoods. I especially enjoy introducing guests to off-the-beaten-path gems and sharing the city’s authentic local atmosphere. Many of my guests say it feels like exploring the city with a thoughtful local friend. I design every tour with care, balancing history, culture, and everyday life, so each guest can experience Seoul in a personal and memorable way. Guiding is more than a job to me, it’s a way to connect people with the heart of Korea. My tours are ideal for curious travelers who want more than just sightseeing. I specialize in: Korean history and culture storytelling Practical Hangul learning experiences Hidden gem exploration for repeat travelers An orientation tour for first-time travelers to Korea with a Hangul learning session
