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

Join me on a unique adventure through Seoul’s most fascinating markets. We’ll begin at Gyeongdong Market, a bustling maze of stalls where locals shop for produce, seafood, herbs, and traditional ingredients. This is Korea’s largest traditional market, and it offers a sensory experience unlike any other. Our journey continues to Dongmyo Flea Market, the place for hidden vintage finds. From military jackets and vinyl records to cassette players and old coins, this market is messy, nostalgic, and full of surprises. Finally, we’ll wrap up at Gwangjang Market, Seoul’s most iconic food market. While it attracts many visitors, it remains a must-see for its street food stalls. With my help, you’ll navigate like a local and try specialties such as bindaetteok (mung bean pancake), tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), or mayak gimbap (mini seaweed rice rolls). Throughout the tour, I’ll share stories and insights about Seoul’s culture and daily life, ensuring a personal and memorable experience.
