Excellent walking tour with Henry. - We did this tour today. Despite rain throughout, We found this to be an enjoyable and interesting tour due to our excellent guide Henry.
Henry is so knowledgable providing us with history, meanings and interesting tidbits at every site we visited. This tour takes in Deoksugung Palace, several museums and historically significant landmarks and buildings in 3 hours. The pace is unhurried and the walking is easy. This tour is worth doing.

Seoul Walking Tour - The Seoul Walking Tour was a very interesting experience! Our guide, Henry had a good command of english and shared alot of interesting anecdotes. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed it as we got to walk some areas not usually patronised by tourists. We trawled quite a number of Museums as well such as the Seoul Museum of Art (previously the Supreme Court), the Modern Education Museum, saw the old newpaper printing press building & saw mock ups of life in the 1960s/70s. Would definitely recommend if walking is your thing and you want a different view of an otherwise typical Asian city.

Understanding Seoul History - Our tour guide, Henry Park, was very warm and welcoming. He started his tour drom Deoksugung Palace, then walked around the city, visiting various historical landmark. Through his explanation, we could appreciate Seoul more..where old and new co-exist together.
He has very good command of english. I recommend him if you would like to have this tour for your trip.
