What To Expect
Gyeongbokgung Palace
Gyeongbokgung Palace was built as the official palace of the Joseon dynasty by Yi Seong-gye, who becomes King Taejo and the founder of the new regime. Gyeongbokgung Palace is commonly referred to as the Northern Palace because its location in the north of Changdeokgung Palace in the east and Gyeonghuigung Palace in the west. Gyeongbokgung Palace is arguably the most beautiful and is the largest of all five palaces. Many Joseon kings were crowned here, including the 2nd King Jeongjong, 4th King Sejong, 6th King Danjong, 7th King Sejo, 9th King Seongjong, 11th King Jungjong, and the 13th King Myeongjong. The premises were once destroyed by fire during the Imjin War (1592-1598). However, all of the palace buildings were later restored under the leadership of Heungseondaewongun during the reign of King Gojong. The assassination of Empress Myeongseong, however, resulted in Gyeongbokgung Palace losing its function as a royal palace, eventually witnessing the downfall of the Joseon dynasty.
Bukchon Hanok Village
Surrounded by Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace and Jongmyo Shrine, Bukchon Hanok Village is home to hundreds of traditional houses, called hanok, that date back to the Joseon dynasty. The name Bukchon, which literally translates to "northern village," came about as the neighborhood lies north of two significant Seoul landmarks, Cheonggyecheon Stream and Jongno. Today, many of these hanoks operate as cultural centers, guesthouses, restaurants and tea houses, providing visitors with an opportunity to experience, learn and immerse themselves in traditional Korean culture. As Bukchon Hanok Village is an actual neighborhood with people's homes, visitors are advised to be respectful at all times while looking around.

5.00Our tour guide was Michael Park and he was excellent! He picked us up at our hotel which was a bit complicated because it is part of a shopping plaza and a big building. Nonetheless, he knew exactly where to pick us up at. He contacted us prior to the actual day to confirm his contact. He spoke and texted in English which made it easier for me. Every site we visited, he knew the history of it and it made it a lot more interesting. He vehicle was clean and comfortable. Places where there were no parking, he dropped us off and told us to wait until he parked the car and came to meet us. I would highly recommend Michael again should we come back to Korea and need a tour guide. Very pleasant and excellent tour guide!

Our tour guide, Michael, Is extremely familiar with these places. We were fortunate to have joined the Tour as it only runs on Saturday and we have certainly enjoyed our trip.
