Exploring Gangnam Free Walking Tour
My name is Mark, I am a world traveler, former archaeologist and a huge history nerd. I am originally from Europe but I moved to New York City 15 years ago. I worked as a tour guide in New York City and always enjoyed meeting travelers from all around the world. I have been living in Seoul for two years now. I really enjoy exploring this city and at this point I know hundreds of cool places to visit or see in this city. Join me for a fun, educational and informative tour of Seoul.

Fantastic walking tour with Mark! Mark is very personable and knowledgeable. Even though it was a really cold day, we were distracted by Mark’s warm hospitality. He shared many interesting facts and stories as we strolled along. I highly recommend this tour!
