We will see the most famous attractions in Seoul!
These are the most important and popular spots in Seoul among not only tourist but also local people. This will be full of history and modern culture. If you like to know about Korea, I believe this should be the one for you. :)
We will start from Jogyesa temple and Insadong area.
After Gwanghwamun squre we will move to Gyeongbokgung palace. It was the main palace in the Joseon Dynasty. For me this is the most beautiful, and it remains the largest of all five palaces.
We will stroll around in the palace and move to Bukchon Hanok village! The village has lots of Korean traditional houses, Hanok and nice cafes.
You can enjoy all of these during the tour.
Don't miss this out! I'm sure you will like it.

5.00Great experience!! Lee was waiting for us and we experienced this trip the 3 of us. And we had a blast, very informative trip, we had plenty of questions on Seoul and Korea, and Lee was very helpful answering all. Lee is a very charming person and this trip was just like a trip with a friend in Seoul. A great memory of our trip to Seoul, and our friends (from Belgium) are also super excited and showed big interest in visiting Seoul and South-Korea. Of course we will recommend them all to do this trip with Lee!

5.00Ms. Lee is knowledgeable about the culture and history of South Korea. We really got to know the history of the palace and other sites we toured. At the end, Ms. Lee taught and gifted us a board game that we were able to play when we got back home!! We had an amazing experience with this tour and left South Korea with a greater knowledge of the history and culture. Ms. Lee was very friendly and able to answer all of my mother’s questions as well.
Please call Lee for a great tour.

5.00Lee from Hiney Trail provided the history and background information about Seiul and Korea in a knowledgeable and very friendly manner. I was able to immerse myself in the varied history of Seoul for a short time. Lee manages to combine in-depth knowledge with a lot of fun. Absolutely recommendable!

5.00She was very informative the entirety of the tour. We enjoyed learning about the history of the Joseon Dynasty as well as interesting facts both modern and historical. I loved how she incorporated mini quizzes about Korea and played Korean traditional games during the break times. She was also very caring of her audience! Highly recommended!
Wonderful Day in Seoul with Lee!

5.00Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 college age daughters) had 3 great tours with Lee and highly recommend her for people visiting Seoul! Seeing the city with her was like visiting with a friend and gave us a better understanding of Korean culture. Lee also helped us get the train/bus bus cards at a convenience store and had lots of great suggestions for restaurants and getting around Seoul. Sometimes she recommended a taxi versus the subway when it would be about the same price for 4 of us. For our 2nd tour, we met in Insadong which has traditional goods and cafes. We purchased hand-painted fans that the calligrapher customized with our names. We went to Jogyesa temple, which was decorated with colorful paper lanterns for the Buddha's birthday and has beautiful 400+ and 500+ year-old trees. We then went to Gwanghwamun Square and Gyeongbokgung Palace, the main palace, where Lee timed our arrival for the changing of the guard. We walked up to the Bukchon village, one of the oldest villages in Seoul with traditional Korean Hanok houses. We finished at Gwangjang market with some delicious food for lunch and a walk along the Chenggyecheon Stream. It was a fabulous day with Lee!
