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! 🚀

We had a very informative time with Jason as he very patiently taught us how to use both buses and trains in Seoul. He listened attentively to our requirements and took us on a bus and train ride to a destination of our choice showing us how to get around with ease. Also lots of other tips on where to go and what to see. We highly recommend this at the beginning of your Seoul trip to make exploring this city easy. Jason spoke great English and was very knowledgeable. Learnt how to navigate Seoul like a local!

Without a doubt one of my new favorite cities in the world- Seoul! Once I booked the tour, Jason immediately reached out to find out what we were interested, so that he could tailor the perfect day of sights. We were warmly welcomed by Jason at our hotel. He has such a friendly demeanor we had a fantastic day! He was knowledgeable, and very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that he deserves a special thanks for listening to what we were interested. He truly maximized our tour to ensure we were not just going by the main sights, but also secret places for the best pictures. He took us through a lovely part of town that we would have never seen on our own since there were not a lot of tourists there. Jason is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (100% recommend!). I truly enjoyed walking and taking in the scenery which was beautiful during our time with him. The atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to us. All of our respect for Jason who does a great job, a true sample of excellent tour guide! Even after the tour he sent points of interest and sent us links to help us make the most of this wonderful city. Many thanks again and I recommend Jason to everyone!

I had only one day in Seoul - so decided to go WITHLOCALS to spend half of my day. Jason was great - met me at the hotel I was staying - he was very friendly and we visited a Palace - he gave me the history of it; and we went to Bukchon village - an amazing traditional neighborhood of Seoul - the very narrow streets with traditional housing; some nice shops as well; he offered to take pictures - and he is great in that! then he took me to an old area that has tons of little restaurants and cafés and art galleries - i loved th area! Jason was attentive and without him i would not have seen in the little time I had! Thank you Jason for very nice memories of Seoul! 01 day in Seoul

Prior to the tour beginning Jason contacted me to ask what my interests were. From there he tailored the tour especially for me. We explored trendy streets with gorgeous concept cafes and restaurants which were off the beaten track and popular with locals. Jason was a real pleasure to spend time with, kind, clever and generous with his time and knowledge.Do it! Great ‘only known by locals’ tour.
