Hi, I’m Jay, your local host in Seoul! This is a city that never fails to amaze me with its energy and beauty. From the breathtaking sunsets over the Hangang River to the vibrant streets buzzing with life, this city is full of charm and surprises.

Whether we’re wandering through ancient landmarks or discovering trendy neighborhoods, I’ll share insights that connect Seoul’s past to its dynamic present. I’m here to make your visit fun, engaging, and memorable. Let’s explore the heart of Seoul together and uncover the city’s many stories!

What a great walking tour! We got to see plenty of special local sights. Jay made sure we had everything we needed and he provided us with a lot of information. This was such a successful private tour; there is much gratitude. Thank you very much, Jay!

This is experience was all about the guide. Jay made this very memorable and we are very thankful. He explained where and what we were doing. He always asked to make sure the walk was going to be ok. Took pictures of us. Explained not only the food but the history and construction of the city.

Excellent private tour through the must see sites in Seoul. Jay was amazing - his English is excellent and he has a great personality. It was a great way to start out first trip in Seoul and gave us a greater understating of the history of South Korea. Highly recommended!
