My wife and I had such a... - My wife and I had such a wonderful experience touring Gyeongbokgung palace with James and Jacob. James is the tour guide well-versed in historical context and Jacob is the photographer. Both are fun and engaging. Very organic and intimate experience, highly recommend!

Great combination photo/historical tour - Went with a group of 6 on a mother/daughter trip. One other group was with us on our tour. James and Jacob were very kind and accommodating. Took group and single pics for all of us, while providing some historical background. Hanbok rental beforehand (additional fee as they clearly state) is completed very efficiently. There is the opportunity to further explore the palace on your own for a few hours after the tour, but it was a very cold day so we headed back after the tour was done. This tour is a good mix of taking nice photos as well as seeing a historical and cultural tour.

Book for an easy, seamless, enjoyable afternoon - James and Jacob were professional and entertaining. They provided just enough background and history information for my short attention span. They do a great job with efficiently taking everybody's photos.

Fun times with James and Jacob! - We had such a fun experience with James and Jacob! Everything about the hanbok and walking tour was incredibly easy and well organized from start to finish. This also takes roughly about 3 hrs and the admission to the palace was included. Wearing the hanbok while exploring Gyeongbokgung Palace made the experience feel really special and immersive. Our guide shared so many interesting facts about Korean history and the palace, which made the tour both fun and educational. Also, the picture spots were all in areas that weren’t super crowded! It wasn’t just about taking photos, it was a great way to actually learn more about the culture and history while walking through such a beautiful place. The whole experience felt relaxed and enjoyable, and we never felt rushed. If you’re visiting Seoul and want something memorable, I definitely recommend doing a hanbok tour like this. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

Felt like a real Princess - The team was so fun and professional. They made the experience so engaging. It was a good amount of time with extra time built in at the end to go over to Bukchon Hanok Village nearby after. It was a small group so we each got personal time and attention. Highly recommend! Especially if you’re traveling alone and want someone to take pictures.

A great once in a lifetime experience!! - We had a super memorable day with our guide James and lovely photographer Jacob. Both of them were very friendly and welcoming. They had many poses for us that helped us look like princesses. Took some great photos as you can see below 👇 We like how much time we got to spend in each area of the tour and there was a good balance of photos and historical facts. Starting off early in the morning is a good idea because it is peaceful with not many people (if any) in the background of your pics. 📸 Renting our Hanboks only cost us 40,000 won each ($40aud ish) so it was pretty inexpensive. There were many styles to choose from with many beautiful colours available. 💃 At the end of the tour we got two hours free time before we had to return our Hanboks. This gave us time to visit Bukchon Hanok Village which is just next door to the palace and get pics in the traditional Hanbok there. 🤳 Overall this is definitely a once in a lifetime experience you won’t forget :)) ❤️
