Because of its long enough history, the city gives unique impression to visitors with beautiful mix of old tradition and modern culture. Especially in the night time of the day, Seoul twinkles the balance between old and new. 360 view from N Seoul tower is one of option to find them. Seoul used to be a walled capital of Chosun dynasty. Geographic character and its importance in old time, Chosun had to worry about invasion from the both land and sea. Namsan was so important place for watchdog to protect its capital. 360 view from N Seoul tower shows how important it was. Night city view from the tower is amazing. With the view from North Korea to further down after Kangnam, you are not a stranger any longer. Lighting show at night time is another attraction not to miss. If you are in love and with love, don’t forget "Lock of love" Most of tourist sites are closed after sunset except Namsan Hanok traditional house village. It is the best place to understand more on Korean history through architecture.

Deoksugung Palace
Pass by

Located in the heart of Seoul's bustling city center, Deoksugung Palace offers a unique glimpse into Korea’s transitional history. Unlike other palaces, it is famous for its harmonious blend of traditional Korean architecture and early 20th-century Western-style stone buildings. Walking through this palace is like traveling through time from the Joseon Dynasty to the dawn of the modern era.

Fun tour with JJ

We enjoyed our night tour with JJ and Mr. Lee. It was freezing , but we were still able to make the most of the tour. We visited Seoul Tower and experienced the beautiful lights of the city. The street food along MeongDong was delicious. We enjoyed the drive around the various neighborhoods of Seoul.

Evening cruise on Han River

Our evening river boat cruise was wonderful. Despite the rain, Cathy ( our friendly tour guide) went out of her way to make sure we were not disappointed in any way during this tour! When at first we expressed some disappointment with the chicken and beer offered as part of the tour before the river boat cruise, Cathy insisted on finding another diner alternative for us which we thoroughly enjoyed. (Note dinner is not provided on board on this tour). The cruise along the river was a feast for the eyes with a multitude of lights from all sides. A duo also played some music along the way - both the keyboard and sax players were very talented IMO. All in all an excellent experience on the river with Cathy.

We love our tour guide Cathy!

This tour offers a wonderfully curated itinerary! Our guide, Cathy, was fantastic—warm, kind, considerate, and extremely knowledgeable. We explored royal palaces, the ginseng museum, and bustling local markets, while also gaining a unique perspective on Korea’s modern and traditional culture. Highly recommended!

Great experience

The guide came earlier to pick us up at the hotel. We went by a taxi. We got along pretty well. During the visit she entertained us the whole time. She took pictures of us at various locations. She was nice, communicative, helpful. She answered all our questions. And gave us useful information.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so glad to hear that you had a great time with your guide — from the early hotel pickup to the engaging conversations and helpful information throughout the tour. It’s wonderful that she made the experience smooth, fun, and memorable, even capturing those special moments for you in photos! We truly appreciate your kind feedback and hope to welcome you again for another adventure in Korea. Warm regards, Cosmojin Tour Team

Would not recommend this at all!

Honestly a complete waste of money & time. There were street protests all over the city blocking all main roads, creating HEAVY traffic everywhere. Apparently, a common weekend thing in Seoul. Instead of advising us of this and re-scheduling, the tour operators still proceeded with the tour, only completing ONE, of the FOUR listed activities. Huge language barrier and lack of any historical explanations of the sites visited/seen. We had a much better time exploring the city on our own the following day at zero cost.

Operator response

Dear Customer, We sincerely appreciate your review of the tour and the guide. While weekly demonstrations in central Seoul usually do not interfere with our tours, an unusually large turnout on November 9 led to an unavoidable adjustment in our schedule. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. To ensure a smoother experience in the future, we will conduct further training with our staff. Thank you for your understanding and patience. Team Cosmojin

Rip Off

We expected a tour that had its own way of transportation. Instead, we got a nice woman but no means of transportation so we had to waste a lot of time waiting for taxis. We were very excited to visit all the places but especially the top of N Seoul Tower, Cheonggyechen creek, Seoullo 7017, which i even told her my priority visits. This tour listed an agenda of 8 places & we only got to visit 1.5 of those before our guide dropped us of via another taxi EARLY!!! This trip was a completed rip off, do not sign up for it. The guide seemed nice, however, I paid to visit places stress free and we only visited Deolssu Palace (she had us spend way too much time there) and part of the tower as she said we couldn't go to the 360 view top. I could've taken taxis myself and done these things for less than $50....but I paid $300!!!! Take a different tour, this one was a rip off!

Best way to see Seoul!

I highly recommend this tour, especially if you have teenagers! We knew we’d get to see the N Seoul Tower at night (which is beautiful!!) but we were surprised that our tour guide, Tracy, took us to a K-pop center where you could dance with K-pop trainers, so fun! Tracy was also incredibly helpful and accommodating as we had to navigate around poor weather forecasts. She made sure we had the best time and even held my daughter’s place in line so she wouldn’t have to walk up too many steps after her knee surgery. Seoul is amazing anytime, but it truly comes to life at night!
