ENFP -( Extrovert / iNtuition / Feeling / Perceiving ) Hello~ I'm MAERI KIM who was born & grew up in Seoul, Korea. I have lived in the Philippines for 6 years(2013-2018). While I was staying there, I was working as a private guide for Koreans. Due to the COVID, I've been back in Korea. Being a tour guide was the most suitable job ever I had, so I've got a tour guide license in Korea. I love to meet new people and love to have new experiences. I respect other cultures and love to learn about them. Family-friendly: I have 2 children - a girl who's 20 years & a boy who's 17 years. So I can handle unexpected circumstances such as baby crying, yelling, or urgent visits to the toilet. ;) And I'm living with my parents aged 70s. I can adjust the itinerary if my clients are seniors. All my tours can be customized upon request according to your group size or interests. Feel free to message me.

Overview of your Seoul tour

Seoul consists of 25 Gu (district). Depending on the district, the vibes are quite different. You might have heard about "Myeongdong" at Jung-gu including Kyungbok palace, Insadong. You might have been in Gangnam-Gu where is the most modernized place or "Hongdae" area, the most popular place for young people. I think you have heard about "Itaewon". It's a famous place for foreigners. However, I'm sure that you haven't heard about "YONGRIDAN" , the latest hot place in Seoul. I strongly recommend visiting the National Museum of Korea. There are six galleries arranged by theme & period, so you can observe Korean history from the prehistoric period to the Joseon dynasty. Even if you're not a historical nerd, there are several things that you can enjoy! There is a special exhibition, which is RM's (a member of BTS) recommendation. I like the Digital Immerse Galley 1 on a massive panoramic screen. And there are several photo spots indoors and outdoors. It's connected with the Yongsan Family Park, too.
