Gyeongbokgung Palace, located north of Gwanghwamun Square, was built three years after the Joseon dynasty was founded, and it served as its main palace. A tour guide will explain all about the Joseon dynasty's history, and you will get insights into the designs, architecture, culture, and historical background story of those days.

Insadong (7274083644).jpg Insadong is a neighborhood of the Jongno-gu district of Seoul. The main street is Insadong-gil, which is connected to a multitude of alleys that lead deeper into the district, with modern galleries and tea shops. At one time it was the largest market for antiques and artworks in Korea.

Jogyesa is the chief temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, becoming so in 1936.[1] It thus plays a leading role in the current state of Seon Buddhism in South Korea. The temple was first established in 1395, at the dawn of the Joseon Dynasty

Cheonggyecheon is an 8.4 km (5.2 mi) creek flowing west to east through downtown Seoul, and then meeting Jungnangcheon, which connects to the Han River and empties into the Yellow Sea. During the presidency of Park Chung-hee, Cheonggyecheon was covered with concrete for roads. In 1968, an elevated highway was built over it.

50 min

Bukchon Hanok Village is home to hundreds of traditional houses, called hanok, that date back to the Joseon dynasty. The name Bukchon, which literally translates to "northern village," came about as the neighborhood lies north of two significant Seoul landmarks, Cheonggyecheon Stream and Jongno. Today, many of these hanoks operate as cultural centers, guesthouses, restaurants and tea houses, providing visitors with an opportunity to experience, learn and immerse themselves in traditional Korean culture. Bukchon Hanok Village is an actual neighborhood with people's homes.

40 min

Myeong-dong is one of the primary shopping districts in Seoul. The two main streets meet in the center of the block with one beginning from Myeong-dong Subway Station (Seoul Subway Line No. 4) and the other from Lotte Department Store at Euljiro.

Denny provided us with a full day informative tour of Seoul. He was very communicative prior to arriving on our trip and flexible with the itinerary. Being the last tour of our 3 week trip, some of our group were very tired and he adjusted the trip accordingly. Highly recommend this tour and Denny !

Excellent guide!

Denny was great! He was very responsive to my requests before and during the trip. Denny is extremely knowledgeable and provided great commentary throughout our tours. He is also very prompt and flexible. We hired Denny for a tour in Seoul and a special tour outside of Seoul to Daejanggeum (MBC) park. We did have to ask Denny to slow down during our tour of Seoul, however I realized that we requested a lot of places to visit so he was only trying to meet our demands. If you are a kdrama fan, I highly recommend the tour to Daejanggeum Park. It felt as if we were in a period kdrama. I recognized so many sets from Empress Ki and the Red Sleeve. We even saw them filming a new drama with a prominent Korean actor who Denny identified for us. Even though Denny is not a crazed kdrama fan like myself, he had excellent knowledge of the park and the history of each period represented at the park. I highly recommend Denny for all your tour needs in and around Seoul.

Denny is Great!

My husband, 10 yr old daughter, and I took a private tour around Seoul with Denny. We had previously been to Seoul and seen a couple of the sites so Denny was really great about customizing the tour for us. When we were in Seoul 8 months prior we had rented a car and driven ourselves around, this was 1,000 times better. Denny not only took us to great sites but he was also very informative. We learned so much, even about things we had previously seen. It was also a great way to gauge what sites we would like to return to and spend more time immersing ourselves (and not because he does not spend enough time, but because we wanted to see it all). Truly a great experience!

Day of Activities in Seoul

Denny was helpful even before we arrived with suggesting hotels. On the day of the tour he rearranged the day as required to keep us warm and to see the views without snow. Saw lots of sites and Denny also suggested things we could do the next morning prior to our onward flight. Very professional and knowledgeable, good English language and a good driver.

Terrific! The Best!

My wife, mother-in-law and I just spent the day on a private tour of Seoul with Denny. He's the best! Great knowledge, enthusiasm and skill, plus great English. He showed us what we asked, made great suggestions and made the day very special for us. I highly recommended Denny, both for his guiding skills and for his personality.
