About Tour Guide Kevin L.

I received a license in 2016 from the Korea Tourism Organization as a qualified professional tour guide. I have guided a variety of tours for people and tourists from all over the world and have been doing so for over 9 years.

Before being a tour guide I spent most of my career working in the banking industry for almost 30 years, starting with Korea First Bank which later became a US based Newbridge Capital and UK based Standard Chartered Bank until I retired in 2016.

My experience in the banking industry was very much customer-first and dealing with the public which laid the cornerstone and passion to becoming a tour guide.

After retiring from the bank, I worked as a lecturer for a volunteering organization run by the local public office and taught students about the environment and disabilities.

With various experiences and personal management skills, these challenges have provided a real life, hands on cultural nuances which will promote friendship and expand life experiences between different cultures.

I'm based in Seoul but will be happily arrange the tours to Busan, Gyeongju, Sokcho, Jeonju etc. as a customized tour. Feel free to drop me a request message.

DMZ(Demilitarized Zone)+Gamaksan Suspension Bridge-Korea

Korea is the world's only divided nation, split into South and North Korea by DMZ resulting from the Korean War(1950~1953) which inflicted millions of casualties including 10 million separated family members. By joining the tour, you can catch a glimpse of the much talked about border and the stark reality of the divided country. It also offers insights into the history of division, the heartrending tales of separated families, and a chance to contemplate war, peace and the value of freedom.

Marvel of Nature: Hiking in Bukhansan Mountain National Park

Another charm of Seoul is it is surrounded by beautiful mountains, providing excellent accessibility for hiking. Among them, Bukhansan mountain is one of the most favorite destination for Seoulites seeking hiking and trekking adventures. Additionally, visitors have the opportunity to experience Buddhist temples along the trail. Lastly, enjoying pajeon(green onion pancake) and makgeolli(Rice wine) as a post-hiking tradition among Koreans helps alleviate the fatigue from the mountain excursion.

“Kevin is the best! Ask for him!”

Kevin kicked us up at our hotel around 8 for a full day DMZ tour for six of us. He is a wonderful driver (can fit in any size space), and very knowledgeable about everything. He was so accommodating and honored all of our requests. He’s also a great picture taker. He was on time and knew the answer to every question. He’s the man! On the way home, my husband’s foot was bothering him and Kevin called up the urgent care near our hotel and dropped him off. At an orthopedic urgent care, which we never would have known to do. That was so helpful! I would highly recommend him!!!

Kevin L.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with all six of you on the DMZ tour. I’m very glad I could help make your day comfortable and enjoyable, and especially that I could assist your husband when his foot was bothering him. I hope he is feeling much better. I hope you have many more wonderful travels and memorable experiences together! Warm regards, Kevin Lee
