Overview

This private full-day tour in Seoul lasts about eight hours and is conducted in an air-conditioned minivan. An expert driver-guide accompanies the group, providing commentary focused on Old central Seoul. The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off and bottled water. Visitors will spend around 70 minutes at Gyeongbokgung Palace, which is the main palace in Seoul and features a changing guard ceremony; if the palace is closed on Tuesday, the itinerary substitutes Changdeokgung Palace. The tour continues to Bukchon Hanok Village for approximately 40 minutes to view traditional city-style houses built in the 1930s. Next, there is a 30-minute visit to Jogyesa Temple, a small Buddhist temple in downtown Seoul that is the head temple of the Jogye order, the largest Buddhist sect in Korea. The group then spends about 40 minutes at Kwangjang Market, a traditional market where visitors can observe how Koreans eat and live. The final stop is Naksan Park, visited for around 30 minutes to see views of Seoul and the Seoul city wall, originally built for protection. Lunch is not provided, but participants can select and pay at a restaurant of their choice during the day. Alcoholic drinks, snacks, and other beverages are not included. The tour is designed for a private group and uses an air-conditioned minivan for transportation.
