"We booked this tour because we had a very long layover at Inchon airport and wanted to see a bit of the city. We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Seoul and our guide Jeeseon was wonderful and very informative. We especially appreciated her willingness to adjust the tour due to our late arrival. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone with some time to kill. We only wish we had more time."

"A month ago, I had the opportunity to arrange a tour for international doctors, and I was quite cautious about planning the itinerary. However, it turned out to be a fantastic decision to have them visit Gyeongbokgung and Jogyesa Temple. The guide exceeded our expectations with engaging and knowledgeable explanations, keeping everyone focused and intrigued. I will consider this for future VIP services or important guests. Thank you to the guide for their hard work, and I look forward to seeing you again!"

About Local Way Korea
See Seoul Like a Local, With a Local
Local Way Korea is a Seoul-based private tour company founded by Jeeseon C., a licensed tour guide with a passion for showing travelers the city beyond the typical tourist route.
We believe the best way to experience Seoul is not by following a flag through a crowded itinerary, but by exploring the city with someone who feels like a local friend who really knows Seoul.
That is what Local Way Korea is about.
We specialize in private and customized Seoul tours for individuals, couples, families, and small groups. Our tours combine Seoul's must-see highlights with local neighborhoods, traditional markets, hidden streets, food, history, culture, K-drama locations, and everyday places that travelers might never discover on their own.
A Local Friend, With Professional Knowledge
Our guides are friendly and personal, but our tours are professional.
Local Way Korea works with licensed professional tour guides in Korea who can explain the history, culture, traditions, and modern life of Seoul while keeping the experience relaxed and conversational.
Think of it as exploring Seoul with a knowledgeable local friend, rather than following a standard group tour.
You can ask questions, change the pace, stop for coffee, explore a market, take the subway, walk through a neighborhood, or spend more time somewhere that catches your interest.
Private Tours Built Around You
There is no single way to experience Seoul.
Some travelers want Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village and traditional Seoul. Others want local markets, hidden neighborhoods, Korean food, K-drama filming locations, contemporary culture, shopping, or places away from the usual tourist crowds.
That is why our private Seoul tours can be customized around your interests, schedule, travel style and pace.
Whether you are visiting Korea for the first time, returning to Seoul, traveling with family, or simply looking for a more personal alternative to a large group tour, Local Way Korea helps you experience the city in a way that feels natural and genuinely local.
Why Local Way Korea?
Private. Local. Personal. Professional.
Our goal is simple: to connect travelers with Seoul through people who know the city and know how to tell its stories.
Local Way Korea was created by Jeeseon C. to offer a different kind of private tour in Seoul: professional enough to trust, flexible enough to feel personal, and relaxed enough to feel like spending the day with a local friend.
