Hello, I'm Jun. I have been working as an English tour guide since 2013. Before I became a tour guide, I was a reporter of a magazine. Working as a reporter, I had the chance to travel abroad and to communicate with people from different countries, and this helped me to become a tour guide. I was born and raised in Seoul. I have lived in Seoul for more than 40 years, But now I stay in the city named Goyang. I have experienced all different kinds of tours during my career. My specialty is to understand people' needs and customize my excursions in the best possible way. I like to focus on Seoul city and DMZ (Korean Demilitarized Zone) tour, which are by far be the most popular tourist attraction in Korea. I hope I can be your memorable tour guide. Thank you for reading. English tour guide license (Issued by Korea Tourism Organization,2013) None

Overview of your Seoul tour

Seoul has been the capital city of Korea over 600years. The history goes back to 1392, when new dynasty named Chosun was established. When they designed the new city, they considered the location of the mountains as an important factor. So when you see the Gyeongbokgung palace, you must see surrounding mountains as a whole picture. Behind Gyeonbokgung palace, you will see the Blue House, which used to be the presidential residence. After we covered two places, we can understand overall history of Korea. There are also lots of attractions nearby including very authentic Korean Barbeque restaurant. Tour will end at the street called Insadong or Ikseondong. The itinerary is customizable, your suggestions are always welcome.
