5.00We had this tour in December. It was truly a wonderful experience! Our tour included the N Seoul Tower, Ginseng Center, Insadong, Gyeongbok Palace -while wearing Hanboks!- and lastly, Bukchon Village. We do not regret it! We worried about planning our own tour, but this tour made it so easy to visit Seoul hotspots. We are thankful for our tour guide, Joonie, who explained thoroughly about each stop and knew the best photos spots! We highly recommended this tour!

5.00This tour was definitely worth it. Learned a lot about the history and culture of South Korea. The palaces were amazing, lunch was delicious (and they catered to my dietary restrictions), and we had the absolute best tour guide. Lily made the entire day a fun adventure. She was knowledgeable, patient, and so helpful. Highly recommend this tour.
