5.00We booked our tour through Get Your Guide. It can also be booked through Klook. If you prefer using NAVER Map then book through Klook. The Get Your Guide kept opening either Apple or Google Maps. They’re ok to use but I prefer NAVER Map in Korea. It’s easier to use and get around using bus or subway. Our tour guide was Sunny. She was great. She explained each location well and because she prepared tags for us all to hang on our necks, she could keep track of us so no one would get lost. I enjoyed the tour very much. The tour included watching the changing of the guard at Gyeongbokgung Palace. I know that Sunny is relatively new as a tour guide, but she handled everything as well as more seasoned guides. Thank you, Sunny! ☀️
Worth it

5.00It was insightful and entertaining. Our tour guide Steve was very attentive and friendly. We took great pictures and got a good overview of the entire palace. For the price, it’s definitely worth it!!
Excellent!

5.00Its like stepping into a movie and reliving South Korean Joseon Dynasty again. This was so sensational. It is spectacular how this is divided from the modern world. If I were to go back to South Korea, I would visit more of the ''tradional'' places and visit this one again. Not only can you relive this, but the art performances were also magnifying. I felt like a South Korean royal, watching the entertainers. I am looking for a song one of the Pansori singers sang but still am not able to find it after so many years.
Must see destination in Korea!!!
