Guide: Seungoh "TG"
Tours since 2026Hi there! I’m "TG" the tour guide, and I’m thrilled to be your window into the heart of Seoul.
For years, I was a serious backpacker, crossing borders and exploring remote corners of the globe. But after seeing the world, I realized that my greatest passion is actually right here at home. Now, I find my greatest joy in sharing the hidden beauty and stories of Korea with fellow travelers like you.
I have spent 80% of my life in Korea, giving me a deep-rooted understanding of our culture, from ancient traditions to modern trends. Professionally, I am a licensed English and Chinese-speaking tour guide, so we’ll have no trouble communicating the nuances of everything we see.
Having worked next to Myeongdong for 20 years, I’ve seen the city’s face transform through every era. I watched the streets fill with Japanese travelers, then saw the massive wave of Chinese tourism, and now, post-pandemic, I’m seeing a beautiful, diverse mix of people from every corner of the globe.
Let’s walk the soul of Seoul together!
