Hi there! Nice to meet you

I've lived in many different places, born in one continent and raised in another, but no matter where I call home, it is always close to nature where I feel truly blessed. Korea is unique and has some of the most breathtaking landscapes. Having studied my college career here, has been really eye-opening. living close to the mountains of Seoul, I knew that I would begin hiking many trails. In spite of that, another phase would take me closer to the ocean, where I took a passion for diving and spearfishing in Panama. That wonderful feeling of being free of the bonds of gravity under crystal waters, one can dive for hours feeling absolutely entranced. Korea is a peninsula with abundant sea life. Come visit our local markets and peek over exotic seafood platters or any local dish. Come to the land of morning calm and let's find out the myriad of attractions together!

Ho Jin made this tour. He spoke English very well. Was informative. He was very supportive when we couldn’t do all the activities due to lack of fitness and my still healing broken foot. He ordered our lunch for us making sure I could eat it ( allergic to chilli’s and capsicum) We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to show us around. Dmz tour

We had a great day with Ho Jin, his communication prior to the tour was great. He had fantastic English and came to meet us at our cruise for the DMZ tour. He was very informative and answered all our questions! We all really enjoyed our day and would highly recommend this tour with a private guide you learn so much more! Thank you Ho Jin! Fantastic day

Well, look no further - Ho Jin is your man! From the initial booking until the end of the tour, Ho Jin was helpful, accommodating, thoughtful and very knowledgeable on everything we visited. He was also good at making adjustments during the day if we saw things we wanted to spend more time visiting and helped us see so much more than if we had planned it on our own. Book with confidence, you will be glad you did!Still looking for a guide in Seoul ?

We had a wonderful day/tour with Ho Jin. He picked us up from the hotel in a lovely air conditioned car and we started our tour at the Palace in time for changing of the guard. From there we visited a number of interesting places, especially the traditional village and, Korean bbq for lunch was delicious. Would highly recommend and we saw so much more than if we'd tried to navigate on our own.Fantastic Seoul Experience

We had a great time touring the DMZ and related areas with Jin. He was at once knowledgeable, fun, relaxed, attentive, everything you want your guide to be. Jin’s English is impeccable and we even bantered in his native Spanish. We tailored the itinerary a bit, communication pre-tour was fast and easy. Would love to come back to Seoul and have Jin show us more of this incredible country. Terrific guide - don’t hesitate to book!
