Cheonggyecheon Stream
Cheonggyecheon is a beautifully restored 11-kilometer urban stream that runs through the heart of Seoul, offering a serene oasis amidst the bustling city. Once buried under concrete, it was revitalized in 2005 into a vibrant public space with walkways, bridges, and greenery, perfect for leisurely strolls or cultural events. This iconic waterway blends history, nature, and modern urban life.

5.00Alice was our tour guide. She was very informal and friendly. We had 17 people for the first half of the tour and 3 for the full day tour. We were able to see a lot of Seoul, from the Joseon Era to modern Korea. The experience was wonderful and the admission was reasonably priced. There is a good amount of walking, so be sure to bring your walking shoes and water.

5.00I got to explore many different spots in the city with a fair amount of people that encapsulates the general vibe. Diane was an incredible tour guide and the tour was long, but worthwhile experience. The pricing was very reasonable and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get a general sense of the city of Seoul within one day.

5.00We had the best experience ever. Judy, our guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable, pleasant, and considerate. The length of the tour was just enough for us to see all the places we wanted to see. The fee was affordable and well worth it. We will definitely book with this tour company again. Thank you for making our first trip memorable.
