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.

5.00We took this tour on April 2nd, 2025, our 2nd of 7 days in Seoul. The tour is a great way to learn about the interplay between religion and daily life in Korea. The grandeur of the palaces and locations speak for themselves, but when you have an amazing tour guide like Spring, it all comes to life. Spring was one of the most animated, friendly, well-informed tour guides we have ever had. The tour was an excellent way to start to become familiar with Seoul and Spring represented the people of seoul very well.
Great experience

4.00We were treated by our tour guide in the morning, Lizzy, and we saw a total of two palaces, a temple and also we learned a whole lot about the growth and maintenance of Korea’s national treasure, Ginseng. The palaces were beautiful, but be advised, in August when we went, it is very hot. Our guide Lizzy was very knowledgeable and she was also very clear when explaining the places and the buildings. Highly recommend to get a good background on the Seoul palaces and explanations on Korea’s history.
A must do tour
