Insadong is a neighborhood permeated with everything artistic, eclectic and creative. Explore it with one of our local Seoul hosts, flitting between traditional tea houses and even more traditional porcelain shops. Stroll along the largest street, Insadong-gil, pop into an art gallery or a stationary store, discover ancient writing techniques or stop by Jogyesa Temple. You may want to also see Ssamziegil, a market/mall hybrid - quirky, right? After all of that, you might need a break, and a traditional tea ceremony sounds like just the thing.

Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

Very nice man! Had a lot of interesting history knowledge to share. Super flexible, as well! He tailored the tour to what I was interested in and asked a bunch of really specific questions to make sure he could design a route I’d like.

We had a wonderful time exploring Seoul via train / metro and walking with Johnnie. It is our first time in Soeul, and this tour allowed us to explore and orientate in a new city. Johnnie spoke perfect English and was willing to accommodate our itinerary as much as possible. It was certainly worth just doing the tour to understand how the train / metro system works, it gave us much confidence to continue using the train / metro system throughout South Korea.
Amazing tour

This tour with 유진 (Yujin) was really fun, especially for it being my first day in Seoul. I got to see the many beautiful places and try delicious food from the market. She also taught me how to use the Subway and bus !! This tour is perfect, especially if you're traveling solo and don't know what to view.
A good place to get to know gastronomy and fashion

The area is especially interesting because it is home to many shops, large and small that show a lot of the latest fashion in terms of clothing and makeup. For the foreign visitor, the proliferation of street food stalls is interesting, where you can delight a very wide range of typical foods. Although they are street stalls, the careful cleaning and care in the handling of food is highlighted. One of Seoul's traditional theaters is also located in the area. Nearby are the entrances to the funicular that leads to Seoul Tower, from which you have a fantastic view of the city. It highlights the padlocks that recall the passage there of multiple lovers. The very simple way to reach the barium of Insadong using the Metro, which has just one station named after you. Prices are reasonable, both for clothing and for food and beverages. It is a very safe and very bustling neighborhood.
