Bio
Hi everyone! I am the founder and Chief Executive Tour Guide here at KTG. I have built this travel agency in Korea from the ground up from being a tour guide myself to now being more on the management side of things. My one true love is still guiding travelers in and around Korea and showing them the beauty and culture here and I'll do that every once in a while when I have the time. I love showing people the things to do in Seoul and the rest of South Korea. Some of my favorite tours to do are tours in Busan and tours in Jeju Island. But I do have a talented group of tour guides that I've hand picked myself from working with them over the years. So any one of us can show you a great time here in the Land of Kpop, Samsung and the Morning Calm.

Let's sneak in the behind of Presidential house! (Bugaksan trekking)
Bugaksan Mountain is a 342-meter high granite mountain in the middle of Seoul and is home to Gyeongbokgung Palace and a Joseon Dynasty fortress. Its proximity to Cheongwadae, the presidential residence, saw the area closed to the public for 40 years due to security concerns. But nowadays, we can freely hike this mountain if you register your ID at the starting point. We will start from Changuimun course and will get to enjoy the spectacular view of Seoul from the top. But, there are more! Did you know that it was a route for North Korean spies? Something was done in the mountain during Japanese occupations? I would like to share all of these behind stories with you while enjoying the nature.
