This private full-day tour in Seoul lasts about eight hours and includes a Korean lunch. The tour begins with a visit to Gwanghwamun Gate, the southern entrance to Gyeongbokgung Palace. At the palace, guests watch the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony and then explore the grounds for around 90 minutes. On Tuesdays, when Gyeongbokgung is closed, the itinerary switches to Changdeokgung Palace instead. Next, the tour continues with a 45-minute walk through Bukchon Hanok Village, where visitors see traditional Korean houses and their distinctive rooflines. Afterward, there is about an hour of free time in Insadong, a district known for its art and culture. The day also includes a visit to Jogyesa Temple, a central Buddhist temple that leads over 2,000 temples across Korea, with a 30-minute stop. Finally, guests visit N Seoul Tower, which stands 479.7 meters tall on Namsan Mountain. Here visitors have about 45 minutes to take in panoramic views of the city. The tour is conducted by an English-speaking driver-guide who provides private transport with hotel pickup and drop-off in central Seoul. Optional extras like the N Seoul Tower observatory fee and cable car ride are not included.
