- Gyeongbokgung Palace - The principal palace of the Joseon dynasty. A comprehensive tour will be provided, including the changing of the guard ceremony. The guide will share insights about this historical site and recommend the best photo spots. Due to its vastness, it can be challenging for tourists to explore independently.
- Bukchon Hanok Village - Explore a picturesque village with traditional houses. This area holds a poignant story about Korea, which will be shared during the walk.
- N Seoul Tower - Until 1988, Koreans couldn’t travel abroad, making this a popular tourist spot at the time. Enjoy stunning panoramic views of Seoul from here.
- Gwangjang Market - Visit a bustling traditional market to experience authentic Korean food and culture. The guide will discuss the market’s history and introduce local specialties. Sample delicious snacks like pancakes and street food. Don’t miss the renowned “knife noodle” vendor featured on Netflix, known as the “Netflix Auntie” (except on Mondays).
- Jogyesa Temple - With Buddhism as Korea’s national religion for about 1,000 years, many temples are scattered across the country, and approximately 18% of Koreans are Buddhists today. This temple beautifully contrasts the modern city with ancient traditions.
- Insadong - Wander along a delightful traditional street filled with Korean pottery, artwork, antiques, and cozy Korean-style cafes. The tour can conclude here, but feel free to stay longer if you wish to shop.

Day well spent in Seoul - Han was a great guide! Messaged a day before with pickup time, picked up on time in a clean and tidy van and came prepared with an itinerary. It was a cold day and he had warmers handy for all of us. The midday time spent at the market was a mini sub informative tour in itself and I didn’t need any other “food tour” after taking Han’s recommendations there. Great driver and guide and great sense of humour!

Downtown Seoul 2025 - We booked this tour last minute and Hun was patient and cooperative with working out our meet up details despite the fact that we lost internet access once leaving our hotel.
Our Uber driver dropped us at the wrong location, but once we connected to a local business’ WI-FI, he came and found us then proceeded to show us everything we wanted to see in Seoul and then some.
We recommend this tour…Tell your friends. They won’t be disappointed.
Hun was wonderful to spend the day with and he went above and beyond to see that we enjoyed ourselves in his town. His recommendations for lunch were spot on.

Certainly was an Awesome Tour! - I don't know how to recommend this tour enough. Hun was a great tour guide and was very knowledgeable on things as small as a local shops and as big as the entire history of the temples. He knew the best places to eat at the market, and the best places to take photos. I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys an intimate tour where you don't have to wait for large groups to get all their photos in.

Correction: The guide was named Soo and not Sam. I apologize to him - See my previous comment, I made a mistake about the name of the guide (Soo and not Sam) who designed us a remarkable program (see my previous opinion)

A very nice almost private tour of the city with an excellent guide - Sam, our guide, adapted the program to give us a very nice overview of Seoul, given the crowding constraints. He took us to his secret places, inaccessible to the average tourist (panoramic view of the rooftops of Angong, visit of the Palace at the opening, panoramic road to Seoul. Bravo and thank you to him!

The best tour for Seoul! - We had a very interesting and informative day with Hun.
Their came to pick us up promptly in our hotel.
There were no sales activities.
There was a lot of rain, but Hun remained cheerful and even took pictures of us in the rain. We exchanged the Tower for the War Memorial museum in connection with the rain, on our own account. That was very interesting.
We went to the palace in the afternoon, but the changing of the guard was cancelled at the last minute because of the rain.
They knew a lot about history. Lunch at the market was very good. Market visit was very interesting and a food tour in itself. Their inquired about our Food needs and neatly arranged the order. We learned a lot about Korean dishes and Hun treated us to very tasty doughnuts.
In Insadong he took us to a teahouse where I had the best tea of my life.
I can recommend Hun as a fun, charming, reliable guide who showed us smooth the top attractions of Seoul.
And he's a great driver!
