Hello. Wonderful travelers! I am Benny. Looking for a guide with the knowledge of unique cafes, traditional restaurants, history museums, panoramic observation decks, and historical architectures? If so, you hit the spot. Benny is here for you. I had majored in law in Univ. and had worked for about 10 years in a Bank before becoming a Tourist Guide. So, if you are interested in such a topic, I can tell you in-depth about Korean politics and economy. Korea has made remarkable progress in a short period of time. Aren't you curious about the secret of the fast development? If you're a huge fan of K-drama or K-pop, don't hesitate to ask where the drama or music video was filmed. I would also like to recommend K-dramas or movies that best explain Korea's past. I believe that tourist attractions have their true meaning when accompanied by a story. There are many different tours to the same tourist attraction. However, if you look at the reviews, you can find very different reactions. I think that the most valuable result depends on how much background the guide knows and how well he connects it to the attraction. My tour, as you know, is a private tour. You are the only traveler/travelers on the tour. Unlike group tours where many people go together at the same time, you don't have to look around other travelers in your group to ask your guide questions. Regarding my English, I had been dispatched to the US Army in Korea from the Korean Army (or KATUSA, Korean Augmentation Troops to U. S. Army) for about 2 years. Don't miss the great chance to meet a memorable guide! 1. Korean Tourist Guide(English speaking) License : issued by KTO (Korea Tourism Organization) 2. Korean Tour Conductor(English speaking) License : issued by KATA (Korea Association of Travel Agents) 3. Working-level training for Tourist Guide : trained by KOTGA(Korea Tourist Guide Association) 4. TESOL Certificate (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) trained and issued by Hankuk Univ. of Foreign Studies. I will not do 'Anything illegal' in South Korea. Other than that, I will do my best to help my travelers.

Overview of your Seoul tour

Suwon was one of the local administrative centers in the past. Hwaseong Fortress, built to protect the city, was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on December 12, 1997. The total length of the fortress wall is approximately 5.8 km. This fortress wall, built from 1794 to 1796, was built to show King Jeongjo's filial piety toward his father and as a defense fortress south of the capital. At 'Korean Folk Village', you can directly see the shapes of various houses from the 'Joseon Dynasty', and you can also visit special houses from inland and island areas. There are various workshops, so you can have an opportunity to experience special techniques, and you can expect a fun time with regular parades. Also, as it is a filming location for famous Korean dramas, it will have a special meaning for fans of Korean dramas.
