Itinerary

  • Bukchon Hanok Village

    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 neighborhoods that the village covers lie to the north of the two significant Seoul landmarks, Cheonggyecheon

    40 minutes

  • Changdeokgung Palace

    Changdeokgung Palace means 'to brighten virtue,' and is the name of Korea's most successfully preserved palace. Changdeokgung was designated as UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage in February 1997. It is one of the historic attractions that represent the beauty of Korea. (We will visit Gyeongbokgung Palace on Monday)

    1 hour

  • Jongmyo Shrine

    Jongmyo Shrine, built by Lee Seong Gye (1335-1408), was a primary place of worship for kings throughout the Joseon Dynasty and has been registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. (We will visit Insa-dong street on Tuesday)

    40 minutes

  • Cheongha Korea Ginseng Museum

    you will visit Cheongha Korea Ginseng. Ginseng is first mentioned in “Ji Jiu Zhang” during Han dynasty of China as herb used widely in the orient for so many diseases and ailments. It is a plant which had been regarded as a panacea, a cure all. In the studies, Korean ginseng shows best performances in adaptogenic properties.

    30 minutes

  • Hwaseong Haenggung Palace

    Hwaseong Hanengung Palace is the biggest shelter; Kings used them since the Jeongjo King period. This is the temporary palace where King Jeongjo stayed at the time of Wonhaeng (long journey) and also where he held a splendid feast on Hyegyeonggung Hong, his mother's 60th birthday and other events.

    40 minutes

  • Hwaseong Fortress

    Suwon Hwaseong Fortress is an impressive structure from the latter part of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) and the official fortress of Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do. The fortress (constructed from 1794 to 1796) was built as a show of the King’s filial piety towards his father Jangheonseja and to build a new pioneer city with its own economic power. The fortress was designated as Historical Monument No. 3 in January 1963, and in December 1997, it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Full-day tour.

Published on Feb, 2025

A great day tour around Seoul. Our tour guide was so knowledgable and attentive and recommended a delicious restaurant for lunch. Even in the cold weather they made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the tour! I highly recommend this tour :)

excellent tour

Published on Jan, 2025

The tour is well organised and offers a good overview of some of the most important UNESCO sites arround Seoul. Our guide Park Kyung Ah was very competent and had a deep knowledge of Korean history. With her polite and very pleasant attitude she made for us a very enjoyable and informative day.

Definitely recommend for English speakers

Published on Jan, 2025

This tour was absolutely fantastic. We were driven around to all the different places, and during the drive there, we'd be given a brief 10-15min lesson on what we were visiting and the historical significance as well as cool facts. We had Chloe and she was amazing in being able to ensure everything was completed in a timely manner. She recommended a lunch spot for us as well and were able to get us seats for our large group. She spoke English very well and was very passionate about her role. She even gave us some recommendations to explore and markets to go to at the end of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour!

An enjoyable experience
