Itinerary

Your Seoul tour begins with a hassle-free pick up from your hotel. Enjoy comfortable transfers to several royal, historical and cultural landmarks and places in the booming capital city of Seoul along with an expert guide, who makes this tour an even more informative and fun experience.

Begin by heading to the Octagonal Pavilion of 19-km long, a road that offers lovely views of Bukhansan Mountain's Bibong Peak and Munsubong Peak on one side and Namsan Mountain on the other ! Next, visit UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage site - Changdeokgung Palace, claimed to be Korea’s most successfully preserved palace.

Continue your tour with a visit to the bustling streets of Insa-dong, filled with art galleries, traditional craft stores, antique art dealers, traditional tea houses and restaurants. Located in the heart of Seoul, these alleys represent the traditional culture of Korea. Further, reach the foothills of Namsan Mountain, where the charming Namsangol Hanok Village is located. Witness the beauty of traditional Korean wooden houses, called ‘hanoks’ that date back to the Joseon Dynasty. (On Mondays, this tour takes you to the Bukchon Hanok Village for a close to similar experience.)

Your next stop is Sungnyemun Gate, unofficially known as Namdaemun gate, one of the Eight Gates in the Fortress Wall of Seoulwhich surrounded the city in the Joseon dynasty. Finally, chill out and go around the nearby Namdaemun Market, one of the most important open-air traditional markets for household, food, fashion and other merchandise, located in the heart of the city.
