Itinerary
Gyeongbokgung is a beautiful palace which was designed as the main palace in the ancient time, known as Choseon Dynasty(1392~1905). You can expect to enjoy the mysterious architectures which are full of the symbolic meanings from Confucian philosophy, the huge scale of an official party pavilion, and the national folks museum in which you can view how Koreans used to live in the old time. This place is also one of the most popular places in Korea for photo shooting while wearing Hanbok, the beautiful traditional costume. This place is closed on Tuesday. In this case, we usually go to another palace called Changdeukgung, which is registered as UNESCO World Wonder.
The Blue House is the official residence and work place for the president of Korea. He also greets the important guests from the overseas in this house as well. This house accepts tourists only if they make reservations 3 weeks in advance. We can help you to arrange the tour for this place on your request. Otherwise, we will go pass by this house so that you can see it by window.
This is a trendy traditional Korean house village. This village is built about 100 years ago, when Koreans started to accept Western culture. The houses are so coolly authentic, and somewhat refined.
Jogyesa is the headquarter for the biggest Buddhist organization in Korea, known as Jogyejong. The harmony among the traditional temple architectures, modern buildings, and beautiful decorations and gardening made from the donation of believers makes wonderful scenery.
Insadong, known as the traditional cultural district, is actually the best place in Korea to buy souvenirs which can represent Korean culture. This big street is full of the stores selling common souvenirs with the reasonable price, the high-end handicrafts, traditional painting materials, Buddhist goods, etc... This place is also a good place to try Korean traditional tea which provides unique flavors and rich nutrients coming from the variety of herbs and fruits. You might get amazed to see those teas if you are only expecting green tea in this place. Insadong is known as a good place to try Korean restaurants so it is recommendable to have a good lunch here and enjoy shopping while digesting your stomach.
The best place to see everything is Seoul city!! This tower is located on the mountain, which is placed in the center of Seoul City!! The view from the top of the mountain is already so cool, and the beautiful love locks are so beautifully harmonious with the sights. After enjoying the views in front of the tower, you will have the option whether to go up to the observatory. (Observatory is optional, so we don't support you the entrance fee. However it worthes visiting even without the observatory because the view under the tower is already so amazing).

It was great! Clara, our tour guide is very knowledgeable and even extended her time to show us the beautiful city of Seoul.
Thank you for leaving your wonderful review for Clara!! I am so glad you loved your tour with her. :-)
Our tour guide, Clara was excellent! She picked us up from the cruise terminal and drove us to Seoul to Gyeongbokgung Palace in time to see the changing of the guard ceremony. Impressive!! We learned about Korean culture by going to the Korean Culture Museum. From there we went to a restaurant for an authentic Korean meal called Hanjungsik with included about 16 side dishes with our meal. We had time to drive up a mountain to capture a panoramic view of Seoul before heading to the airport to catch our flight home. Great day!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!! I am so glad that you had a wonderful day with her!! I hope you have a wonderful time for the rest of your journey. :-)
We had a layover in Seoul for 12 hours so we decided to book this tour. Clara, our guide, was amazing! She picked us up right at the security gate, took us on the best short tour of old and new Seoul, and got us back to the airport right on time to catch our next flight. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and even changed the itinerary to fit our needs. Can't recommend this tour experience more. 5/5
