Wonderful Gyeongbokgung Palace Experience

5.00I had such a wonderful time on my Palace tour of Gyeongbokgung with James and Jacob. The whole experience was very enjoyable, and they shared so much interesting information throughout the visit. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, which made the history and culture of the palace come alive. On top of that, they were also a great photographer, helping capture some amazing shots to remember the day by. It was the perfect balance of learning and fun, and I’d highly recommend booking with James and Jacob for anyone considering a Gyeongbokgung Palace tour.
Dress up and have fun.

5.00It was fun dressing up. The dresses were very nice quality and they did such a good job in my hair. I paid 40,000w for the rental and hair do. We did have to pay for bus and subway since the first palace is closed on Tuesdays. So the cost of tour is just for tour guide and photographer. James and Jacob. They were awesome. Knowledgeable and fun!
Absolutely amazing...

5.00So when then with James as tour guide was class and the photographer Jacob also top . The store where you can borrow the things is also good from the price performance. The best part was that everything was taken care of and he knew everything about the history of Korea and the palace. From us a clear recommendation to book it if you want to go to the palace. 👍👍👍
