What To Expect

Gyeongbokgung Palace

** This is just an example of the places you can visit. Please ask your guide to make up your itinerary on your interests and preferences. ** Gyeongbokgung is a beautiful palace which was designed as the main palace in the ancient time, known as Choseon Dynasty(1392~1905). You can expect to enjoy the mysterious architectures which are full of the symbolic meanings from Confucian philosophy, the huge scale of an official party pavilion, and the national folks museum in which you can view how Koreans used to live in the old time. This place is also one of the most popular places in Korea for photo shooting while wearing Hanbok, the beautiful traditional costume. This place is closed on Tuesday. In this case, we usually go to another palace called Changdeukgung, which is registered as UNESCO World Wonder.

1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Not Included

Bukchon Hanok Village

** This is just an example of the places you can visit. Please ask your guide to make up your itinerary on your interests and preferences. ** This is a trendy traditional Korean house village. This village is built about 100 years ago, when Koreans started to accept Western culture. The houses are so coolly authentic, and somewhat refined.

We thoroughly enjoyed our private van tour with Andrew. He perfectly set us up to watch the changing of the guards, eat Korean Beef BBQ, shop at the largest Korean beauty supply shop, and try Korean pancakes.
Park was a brilliant tour guide!

Park was a brilliant tour guide! He really made our one day in Seoul a lovely experience. He was punctual, flexible and kept communication with us before and throughout the day. He was friendly and accommodated any requests we had. We managed to see everything in Seoul that we wanted to and fitted in some shopping too! Park recommended a vegan restaurant near to Jogyesa temple which was delicious! Would recommend this tour and Park every time!
Good experience and excellent service

Mr. Andrew Chung provided a day guide service for two of us from the US in Seoul. He was very responsive to booking questions and developing the itinerary that met our needs. Andrew was very personable, knowledgeable, and flexible. He was very considerate, helpful, and fun the entire day. Andrew picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. Our itinerary included Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Village, lunch at a Michelin star restaurant, Insadong tour, Seoul Tower, Starfield Library and tour/dinner at Gwanjang Market and another Michelin Star restaurant. The day was effortless even though we went to a lot of places, thanks to Andrew. I highly commend him for his driving skills too! I would highly recommend Andrew for his services and will definitely use his services again if I’m in Korea and recommend him to others. One of the best tour guides I’ve had anywhere. Andrew was a joy to spend the day with.

This is our first time visiting Korea from 17-22. While researching the best tourist guide for our trip that can guide, show, and translate for us, I came across some posts from people who have gone there before. I saw this review given to Mr. Andrew Chung Hanbyul from South Korea travels who provides services for people who needed a tour guide. I sent a private message and I could say that it was the best decision that I had ever made. He goes above and beyond for what we’ve asked for. He showed us hidden gems to visit, good food and restaurants to try. He even took beautiful pictures too. He’s very knowledgeable, kind, polite, patient and caring. He even helped us look for someone to take us back to the airport when it’s time for us to leave. He’s always there to answer our unending questions. I highly recommend him if you ever need someone to show you around. You will definitely not regret it. Thank you Andrew for showing us your beautiful country .
Great tour

Andrew our guide was so awesome. He took us to the most unique and delicious restaurants and cafes. We gave him a list of places we wanted to visit and came up with great plans to maximize our time. Andrew took great pics of us and told us many fun and historical facts about Seoul. Before the Secret Garden tour, he gave us our own private tour which was very interesting. We were so happy with his recommendation for eyeglasses. He was very patient with us (lol) too. I highly recommend. Thank you, Andrew!
A 10/10 experience of Seoul!
