Description
Step into traditional Seoul and experience it rather than simply sightseeing.
Meet your local guide near Gyeongbokgung Palace and begin with the option to wear a traditional Korean hanbok. Choose your style, get dressed, and head toward the palace — one of the best places in Korea to experience hanbok and take memorable photos.
Watch the colorful Royal Guard Changing Ceremony before exploring Gyeongbokgung Palace. Walk through palace gates and courtyards while your guide shares easy-to-understand stories about Korea’s kings, royal life, architecture, and traditions.
Take your time to enjoy the palace atmosphere and capture memorable photos along the way, especially if you choose to wear hanbok.
After exploring the palace, continue on foot to Bukchon Hanok Village. Walk through traditional alleys lined with hanok houses, experience the contrast between old and modern Seoul, and stop at scenic spots for photos.
From Bukchon, continue to Insadong, one of Seoul’s best-known cultural neighborhoods. Walk through its lively streets and discover traditional crafts, souvenirs, tea shops, and small local stores.
Before the tour ends, your guide will also introduce you to a Michelin-recognized restaurant known for traditional Korean dumplings. If you’re hungry, you can continue your Seoul experience after the tour by trying the dumplings recommended by your local guide.
This is not simply a tour of famous places. You’ll wear, watch, walk, photograph, and experience traditional Seoul — and finish with a local food recommendation you can try for yourself.
With a maximum of 6 guests, the tour stays relaxed and personal, with plenty of time to ask questions, take photos, and enjoy each stop.
