I am Tour Guide
Hi, I’m Paul, your local host in Seoul! What I love most about this fascinating city is its unique role in the modern world. Seoul seamlessly blends traditional values with a vibrant urban culture, offering endless opportunities to explore its deep-rooted heritage. I’m passionate about introducing visitors to how Korea’s traditional architecture reflects its cultural ideals. One of my favorite activities is hiking up Bukhansan Mountain, right in the heart of Seoul, for breathtaking views and a serene escape. I also enjoy guiding guests to historical treasures like the DMZ at Imjingak, the Korea Folk Village in Yongin, and the Hahoe Village in Andong. With a deep knowledge of Seouls heritage, I’m excited to help you uncover the stories and traditions that make Seoul so special. Let’s explore together and create unforgettable experiences!
We were very satisfied with Mr Paul Koo. He arrived at our hotel early and talked about cultural, architectural, historical and logistics for our tour. He had us ride a bus to Gyeongbokgung Palace where we saw the changing of the gaurds. We toured the palace grounds and learned about the Josen era and how the rulers lived. We visited the museum and Buddhist Temple and Hiker Museum for K pop experience. Mr Koo did well with us as we were 3 different age levels. We all enjoyed the different experiences on our tour. We would like to refer this tour company and especially Mr Koo for a personalized tour of Seoul, South Korea.

I loved the fact that the first thing Paul did was explaining the religious history of sth Korea was put everything we heard into the right perspective
