I am Freelance Tour Guide
Hello, I'm Emily - your friendly Seoul host with a positive attitude and a resourceful spirit. As a licensed tour guide with a love for my city, I'm always ready to share my insider knowledge and take you on an adventure through Seoul's vibrant neighborhoods. What I love most about Seoul is the beautiful royal palaces that we have, which are unique to this city. But that's not all - we also have incredible shopping and food that will satisfy any visitor's cravings! As a Seoul expert, I know the city like the back of my hand. I love visiting historical sites, especially the palaces, and indulging in various street foods at the markets. I have special expertise in Jongno, which is home to three main palaces, and I'm also familiar with Jung-gu, which has Myeongdong, one of the main tourist attractions. So let's explore Seoul together and make unforgettable memories!

I had a wonderful time with Jeeseon! I wanted to learn how to use public transportation and she was so knowledgeable and thoughtful and understanding. It was such a nice experience to spend time with her and learn more about the city! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone visiting Seoul.

An amazing 4 hour walking tour of Seoul! Our guide did her homework in advance. We we’re in contact with her and explained our wishes what we wanted to see. We were more interested in seeing things off the beaten path, and she came up with a brilliant plan!
