MYK means Marcos & You, Korea — private, fully customizable tours in English, built around you. From Seoul's palaces and hidden food alleys to Sokcho, mountain day trips, and airport layover tours.
"A masterclass tour. Marcos was an absolutely superb guide with a wealth of knowledge on all of the sites visited."
Before starting MYK, I spent more than 20 years in international business, working with global brands like GE, Electrolux, Nestlé and De'Longhi. It's a career built on working with people from all over the world — in English, every day.
In 2024 I turned my lifelong love of Korea into a full-time calling as a licensed guide. That's the idea behind the name: MYK is "Marcos & You, Korea" — every trip is a day the two of us spend exploring the country together. Whether you're here for the food, the mountains, the palaces, or just to wander, MYK builds each day around what you want to see — at your pace, with plenty of time to actually enjoy it.
