- Gyeongbokgung Palace - The principal palace of the Joseon dynasty. A comprehensive tour will be provided, including the changing of the guard ceremony. The guide will share insights about this historical site and recommend the best photo spots. Due to its vastness, it can be challenging for tourists to explore independently.
- Bukchon Hanok Village - Explore a picturesque village with traditional houses. This area holds a poignant story about Korea, which will be shared during the walk.
- N Seoul Tower - Until 1988, Koreans couldn’t travel abroad, making this a popular tourist spot at the time. Enjoy stunning panoramic views of Seoul from here.
- Gwangjang Market - Visit a bustling traditional market to experience authentic Korean food and culture. The guide will discuss the market’s history and introduce local specialties. Sample delicious snacks like pancakes and street food. Don’t miss the renowned “knife noodle” vendor featured on Netflix, known as the “Netflix Auntie” (except on Mondays).
- Jogyesa Temple - With Buddhism as Korea’s national religion for about 1,000 years, many temples are scattered across the country, and approximately 18% of Koreans are Buddhists today. This temple beautifully contrasts the modern city with ancient traditions.
- Insadong - Wander along a delightful traditional street filled with Korean pottery, artwork, antiques, and cozy Korean-style cafes. The tour can conclude here, but feel free to stay longer if you wish to shop.

Amazing Experience Exploring Seoul with Hun! 🇰🇷✨ - Hun is an amazing guide — super friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. He made the whole trip really enjoyable and took us to many great places around Seoul, from popular spots to hidden gems. He shared interesting stories and made sure everything went smoothly. I had a great time and would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Seoul!

The best tour for Seoul! - We had a very interesting and informative day with Hun.
Their came to pick us up promptly in our hotel.
There were no sales activities.
There was a lot of rain, but Hun remained cheerful and even took pictures of us in the rain. We exchanged the Tower for the War Memorial museum in connection with the rain, on our own account. That was very interesting.
We went to the palace in the afternoon, but the changing of the guard was cancelled at the last minute because of the rain.
They knew a lot about history. Lunch at the market was very good. Market visit was very interesting and a food tour in itself. Their inquired about our Food needs and neatly arranged the order. We learned a lot about Korean dishes and Hun treated us to very tasty doughnuts.
In Insadong he took us to a teahouse where I had the best tea of my life.
I can recommend Hun as a fun, charming, reliable guide who showed us smooth the top attractions of Seoul.
And he's a great driver!

Soo is by far the best tour guide I’ve ever had! - It was just my wife and me on the tour, and we were amazed at how many photos he had on his iPad. He showed us so many old pictures and used them to help us really understand the history and stories. He walked with us the whole time, making sure we were comfortable.
The highlight was definitely the market tour. Even though it got late, Soo never stopped smiling and continued to provide excellent service. I highly recommend him as your tour guide—if you want a personal, small-group experience, he’s the one!
God bless you, Soo!

Incredible day with hun - Amazing day! The tour ended up being just a very small group—me and one other traveler—so there was no waiting around for a big crowd. It was perfectly focused on sightseeing, exactly what most tourists are hoping for. While most agencies would have canceled with only one or two people, Hun went above and beyond, from pickup all the way to drop-off. Thank you so much, Hun—I wish you all the best!

what a great experience! - We were group of 2 and we were only tourists there! So lucky. But this agency didn't cancel this tour and Hun met us. It was super nice experience since we didn't have to spend time on Jinseng shopping and the service was also perfact since he was a guide for private tour. We enjoyed it at really cheap price. Thank you Hun!

BEST TOUR EVER - It was really small group tour and memorable day! The van was comfortable and it was full guiding so we just followed Hun and enjoyed sightseeing! He was a private tour guide so he was able to answer all questions. My family think we were really lucky since there was only one more tourist and no shopping! Thanks Hun!

Interesting area, nice guide. - I had a solo tour to Gyeongbokgung palace and the blue house. It is a very interesting area of Seoul to visit. My guide Jeewon was knowledgeable and overall a very helpful person to be around!
I had a good time and would recommend this tour to others!
