Itineraries, tours & concierge

The app is my Seoul in your pocket. These are the versions where you get me — a plan built just for you, a day walked together, or a whole trip carried. Every one of them is me: not a team, not a franchise, the same person whose calls fill the app.

Personalized itinerary

US$59 · one trip

Your days, decided — a designed book of your trip, built from a questionnaire about how you actually travel. Every place in it is one I go to myself; every name links to its live Naver page; and the small notes carry the one thing worth knowing before you head somewhere — a closed day, a queue app, a sell-out hour. Delivered as a PDF within the week.

Seoul private tour

US$350 a day per group of 1–5 · US$450 for 6–10

Seoul is vast — each neighborhood feels like its own city. You pick one district and we walk it the way I do: the cafes I actually go to, a real meal, the shops with stories a map won't give you. Not a checklist — a day that moves at the neighborhood's own pace.

Paju daytrip

US$450 a day per group of 1–5

An hour's drive north, and the horizon opens. Paju is the closest city to North Korea — the DMZ from Odusan Observatory — but it's also sound and design: Concino Concrete and Camerata, rooms built for sitting still inside music, and Book City, a district made of publishers. The daytrip out of Seoul I'd actually take.

Jeju private tour

US$450 a day per group of 1–5

The one destination in Korea I always recommend beyond Seoul: a one-hour flight to volcanic peaks, forest roads, coastline without end, and the freshest food in the country. The island is bigger than you expect, and who guides you — and in what order — is most of the difference. One day is a glimpse; two or three and you feel its rhythm.

Full care concierge

US$600 a day per group of 1–5 · US$700 for 6–10

For the dates you choose, every detail handled — before, during and after. I'm your translator, guide and friend, and the concierge who books the restaurants, the cars, the clinics — walking with you through the day and adjusting it in real time, Seoul to Jeju, high-end or casual. Concierge, but present: not at a desk, but right there with you.

These terms cover the tours and concierge above. The guide's 7-day pass has its own, simpler policy, inside the app.
