Hi there! Nice to meet you

Discover Seoul Like a Local – With Hidden Gems Only Few Know!

Welcome to an adventure beyond the ordinary! I’m Seoul Explorer Jason, your guide to the secret corners of Seoul that even locals don’t know about.

Having lived in Seoul for years, I still find myself amazed by the hidden gems waiting to be discovered. From mystical mountains with shamanic shrines to charming villages tucked away in the hills, Seoul is full of surprises. Ride a bike along the Han River, sip coffee in a hidden alley café, visit a spacious courtyard café with breathtaking mountain views, explore local-only fashion outlets, or taste the best street food where locals line up.

This is not just a tour—it’s an authentic journey with locals. Skip the typical tourist spots and experience the real Seoul like never before. Let’s explore together! 🚀

Me and my daughter had a wonderful private tour with Jason. He picked us up from our hotel and showed us his favorite spots. Jason had already contacted us before our trip to Seoul to ask what we definitely wanted to see. As we did not have a proper idea about Seoul, he gave us some suggestions first. When he showed us around, he spent enough time to explain the scene and the culture. He was nice, friendly and patient all the way. I would seriously recommend Jason if you are looking for a personalized tour, instead of some standardized tourist walk. Wonderful experience with Jason

If you're craving a more authentic, non-touristy experience—Jason is your guy! I was looking for a local, low-key tour, far from the typical tourist traps, and Jason completely exceeded my expectations. Instead of wandering aimlessly using Instagram or TikTok suggestions, Jason curated a personalized experience that somehow hit all the places I had secretly saved—without me even mentioning them! He took me to the most charming coffee houses (I’m a total coffee feen, so this was heaven), introduced me to delicious local pastries I couldn’t resist, and even mixed in some of the trendy spots I had my eye on—all without it ever feeling forced or “tour-guidey.” He also recommended must-see/do/eat places near our hotel and wherever we ventured during the day. What really stood out was how thoughtful and attentive he was—always checking in to see if the vibe of each place matched what I was looking for and willing to adjust on the fly if needed. If you’re on the fence—don’t be. Book with Jason. He’ll make sure your trip is not only memorable but truly unique to you.Unforgettable Journey in Seoul

We had a wonderful afternoon with Jason. He is very knowledgeable in all things from history, culture and food to local insights, and he made exploring Seoul fun. Going on the tour has given us great appreciation for this beautifully diverse city, and there‘s nothing like experiencing it with someone who knows and loves the city. I highly recommend Jason as a guide! Excellent tour and great guide

Once we started chatting, we found Jason to be very friendly and helpful. He answered all our questions about travel in Seoul and gave us helpful tips and suggestions on where to go. The tour he created for us was customised for us; our daughter was able to take photos of paths less trodden by tourists and we also enjoyed the bustling market of Gwangjiang and the amazing cafes of Ik Seon Dong. Jason’s recommendation for street food at Gwangjiang market did not disappoint. The food we had was good. All in all, we really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely engage Jason the next time we go back to Seoul. Thanks, Jason! Awesome Tour with Jason

Jason was a great guide to our first full day in Seoul. He arranged an easy place to meet and was on time. He had suggested two main spots to explore, based on our family's interests, and also took us on a couple of interesting side spots. His explanations, suggestions, and help in purchasing snacks at the market were great. Jason's insights and humor throughout the tour were wonderful. Interesting and Informative

We were first-time visitors to Korea and wanted to learn how to navigate through the subway system and tour the palaces. Jason was very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. We felt like he was part of our family. ☺️ I highly recommend Jason for first-time visitors, especially if you’re planning to stay in Seoul for an extended period of time. Again, thank you 🙏, Jason! Best tour guide experience

I’m staying in Seoul for 6 weeks. Jason gave me good advice about markets and ordering cabs while explaining Korea history. A good way to settle in

I had a wonderful tour of Seoul with Jason! I was only in the city on a 22 hour layover and decided to book a tour to make the most out of my time there in the morning. Jason met me at the hotel, took me to see wonderful scenic views, showed me some hidden cafe’s I never would have found myself, showed me which foods to get at a food market and went above and beyond to make my short time there very memorable. I would HIGHLY recommend booking a tour with Jason, you will have a great time guaranteed!Jason is the BEST
