Why Explore Seoul
with Min?

01
🗺️

Real Local,
Not a Guidebook

Born and raised in Seoul, I walk 20,000+ steps a day exploring my own city. Every spot I share is somewhere I personally eat at, return to, and genuinely love — not a place on a list, but a place with a reason. My foreign friends call these "Min's Trusted Picks."

"My Korean friends couldn't believe I visited those places as a tourist."
02
✍️

It's Not Just a Tour.
You Experience Seoul Deeply.

As the author of 3 published books on Seoul's food and culture, I go beyond showing you places. I share the history and context behind each one. From food and alleys to markets and craft, I curate the experience around your interests so you can discover Seoul from every angle.

"She provided meaningful background, context, and cultural insights."
03
👥

Small Groups.
Big Memories.

Max 6–8 guests — and even a solo traveler gets the full experience. I read the group and adjust in real time: pace, food stops, detours, rest. No rushing, no crowds, no scripted lines. Just you, the city, and a day shaped around you.

"All activities are tailored to my own expectations — it was a great tour."
04
🤝

The Activity Ends.
The Connection Doesn't.

Even after the tour, I'm here for you. Based on your tastes and interests, I'll personally recommend where to go next in Seoul, what to eat, and what you shouldn't miss — so your experience keeps going long after we part ways.

"The tour group became friends and we hung out afterward!"
05
🍽️

Come Hungry.
Everything's Included.

All meals, drinks, snacks, and cultural entries included. Raincoats and crampons provided on hiking tours. No awkward bill-splitting. No hidden extras. Just eat and enjoy.

"The portions are generous and keep coming — come VERY hungry!"

Make Your Own Colorful Korean Rice Cakes in a Hanok

Step into a cozy modern hanok (Korean traditional house) and learn to make Songpyeon — Korea's colorful rice cakes. Natural colors, organic fillings, no experience needed. My mother ran a rice cake shop, so this one is personal.

"Min was so welcoming and kind. Learning to make rice cakes was a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Highly recommend!" — Annette 🇺🇸 · GetYourGuide Verified

Seoul, my city 🏙️

Seoul is the city where I was born and raised. It's big and bustling, but it's also full of mountains, rivers, parks, and neighborhoods that blend 600 years of history with modern culture. I truly love this city.

I've taken over 100 backpacking trips, and I love experiencing local life wherever I go. With these experiences, I want to show you the real Seoul — a city that's meant to be felt and explored, not just checked off a list.

What bothered me was seeing visitors come to Seoul and only stick to the usual tourist spots — the viral stalls, the famous markets, the scripted experiences. There's so much more to discover, and I want to share those hidden stories with you.

That's why I started these tours. I've written three books about Seoul's restaurants — not the famous ones, but the places locals truly love. My mother ran a traditional rice cake shop, and I walk over 20,000 steps a day exploring the city. Everything I share with you is personally tried, tested, and revisited by me.

So, are you ready to do more than just "see" Seoul? Let's experience it together. I'll be your Seoulmate.
