This is an excellent way to gain an insight into the history and culture of Korea and particularly Seoul. The only reason I gave it four stars rather than five is that time prevented us from choosing any other day but Tuesday - and that is the day Gyeonbokgung Palace is closed. We did however visit Deoksugung Palace and also watched the very colourful changing of the guard. Chloe, our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. We enjoyed all the places we visited. The Buddhist Temple is amazing and a place of worship. I came away with much more knowledge of life in Korea through the ages. It’s excellent value for money too.
Fast-Paced but Plenty of Time to Enjoy

Nice tour. Charles was an excellent guide. It was a fast-paced tour, but he always gave us enough free time at each stop so that there was plenty of time to explore and enjoy what we were seeing. Charles took us to a nice local place for lunch, too. I recommend this tour if you're limited on time in Seoul and want to see the highlights. And hopefully you'll get Charles for your guide!

This was a great tour that I absolutely recommend. Grace was our tour guide, she was so kind. She explained well the history of the palace and offered to take pics for us. I strongly recommend
