You will also visit Gwangjang Market, South Korea’s first traditional market, to experience local life, food, and goods.

As a cruise passenger tour, the pickup and drop-off are carefully scheduled to align with your cruise ship’s arrival and departure times at Incheon Port.

Michelle was a wonderful tour guide. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable. There was 1 problem...the TOUR COMPANY kept looking to acquire additional people to fill up the bus, and we sat on the bus and our departure was a half hour late.
Misleading

1. Tour was to start at 10 am. Received call asking where I was at 8:45 because several people showed up early and wanted to leave early so we rushed down to get there. The tour was to see changing of the guard even though Viator had to know that it was closed on that day. We didn’t get to see what we paid for. The only saving grace was that Michelle tour guide was very nice.

BEWARE booked this excursion through Viator 2 months in advance and they cancelled the night before. They said they notified me through WhatsApp 2 days prior but since I was on a cruise ship did not see it till they notified me through Viator. Got to the port and see the same tour company and tour guide picking up someone else. Said they only had room for 6 and we made 8. Ruined our only day trying to see Seoul. Did not have time to book anything else. Very disappointed.
Good Tour if you don't want to deal with the subway..

The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Most of the tour time is spent traveling to and from Seoul.
Great Overview of Seoul

It was an awesome intro to Korean culture and the city of Seoul. Just a heads up that it’s almost two hours getting into the city and then two hours back to the port. Plenty of time for the stops we made but just a warning if you want to spend more time on foot than in the bus.
Palace tour was great, lunch at markets was delicious

Unique experience, Seoul is a vibrant City. Changing of the Guard at the Palace was great to see. Guide was friendly but did overshare too much about himself rather than talk about the sites. Most travellers split from him when given the chance.
Amazing day in Seoul

AMAZING - We were a group of 6 who had a stopover in Seoul on our cruise. We had a very specific list of things we wanted to do in Seoul. Hongdae, Gangnam - Starfield library, Cheonggyecheon stream, Namsan including cable car to the tower. Deoksugung Palace. Finishing of by having Ramyeon watching the sun setting over Han river then seeing the Banpo Bridge light show. Joseph then made sure we got back to our cruise ship before the curfew. Throughout the day Joseph was so knowledgeable answering all our questions about Seoul. He helped put the tour together to ensure we saw everything. Fabulous day and cannot recommend enough. So great to have a tour guide whose priority was to ensure we had a great time.
Day trip to Seoul.

We all had an amazing trip with Andrew Oh, who in all honesty made the trip such a special day! We visited some beautiful places with an astonishing amount of knowledge given by Andrew who obviously knows what he is talking about! We had food in a local market with Andrew which was for me the highlight of the day. He was kind enough to order food for us that we probably wouldn’t have done and joined us in eating which was great. We use Viator a lot and Andrew has been the best guide we’ve had so far by a long way. Regards from four grateful explorers!! X Please pass on our thanks to Andrew from us again!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Seoul to go to.

Do not miss the changing of the guards event in Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul. It was quite interesting and we were lucky to see it thanks to Sam Kim, our tour guide who was very helpful and made sure all of us enjoyed the tour.
