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 was a great...

This was a great introduction to some of the main sights around Seoul. Lynn was a fantastic guide and, despite having a broken microphone, tried her best to ensure everyone was well informed about the sights visited. More time could have been dedicated to the Gyeongbokgung Palace, but with such a full itinerary it would be difficult to fit everything in without sacrificing something, and is not a fault of the tour guide who ensured we fit all of the sights in. Less time could have been spent at the Ginseng Museum, which seemed more of an opportunity to sell a product, and is a fault of the itinerary and not the guide.
Great tour with Lyn

This was a great tour to do on our first day as it gave us a really good overview of the area and ticked off a lot of the top things to do in Seoul. Lyn was absolutely amazing, giving lots of information and is just a ball of sunshine. She also gives great food and skincare recommendations. Overall it’s a longer tour, but it went by quickly due to the number of things on the itinerary. Great for everyone from solo travellers to bigger groups.
Great price for a tour

Great tour for first timers in Seoul. Lynn was an informative and entertaining tour guide. She was able to efficiently navigate our group through the busy palace, market and Namsan tower on a Sunday. We really enjoyed the ginseng museum.

This was a great way to see the highlights of Seoul and learn about the city in just one day! Crystal did a fantastic job guiding a group of 20+ people and skillfully managing the crowds. Enjoyed the day thoroughly! Thank you!
