We are an international couple living in Seoul. Serena is from the Netherlands, and Eduardo is Korean and majored in Spanish. Together, we offer tours in Spanish, English, and Dutch. Since we guide for fun and to help tourists, you are free to decide what you will give us at the end!

The main goal of our tour is to explore two of the most famous palaces of Seoul, namely Deoksu Palace and Gyeongbok Palace. We will further introduce you to the Cheonggyecheon stream, the statues of King Sejong and Admiral Lee Sun-Shin, and everything you can see along the way. We only accept small groups, which allows us to adjust to your pace, keep the experience personal, and make sure that everyone receives our full attention.

Great walking tour with Serena, a world class guide

We went on the free walking tour with Serena to two palaces and the surroundings. Serena was really great, extremely knowledgeable and willing to answer questions with patience and control. Even though the tour was in one of the most popular places in Seoul, I didn’t feel that it hurt the experience or rushed. After the tour, she also shared some recommendations to some places in the center of the city and we tried one of them and it was the best authentic Korean restaurants we went to throughout the trip. Look no further for your guide.

We loved our tour with Serena!

This tour was very interesting and useful to us as first-time visitors. Serena is a knowledgable and engaging guide, and we learned not just about the palaces, but also a bit about more recent Korean history and monuments. She encouraged questions and was happy to share all the information she has. Would definitely do a tour with her again!
