Hi. I've lived in Seoul for 12 years and love exploring new areas. I'm a bit of a history nerd and can show you the spots that aren't in most guidebooks (did you know Seoul has a sixth palace?). I like to keep my tours flexible to the travelers' needs. Hope you join me for a walk around Seoul!
TGIF! In Korean, it's called 'bulgeum' meaning 'Fire Friday.' This tour is the perfect way to start your weekend. It also sometimes runs on a Tuesday.
This tour starts off in the old part of town, exploring the traditional hanok houses of the Bukchon north village. It then heads into the trendy Ikseondong neighbourhood and ends in Jongro, the perfect place for some dinner or drinks.
On the way, you'll see Jogyesa, the main Buddhist temple in Seoul; Unhyeongung, Seoul's less well-known 'sixth' palace; and Tapgol Park, the birthplace of Korean independence.
You'll see everything from traditional markets to street food, trendy cafes, and photo rooms.
The tour starts near Gyeongbokgung Palace (closed on Tuesday) which is easy to explore by yourself if you have a few hours spare before the tour.
Tour itinerary:
Meeting point: Gyeongbokgung station exit 5. The exit is at the end of the long underground passage shownin the photos. If you are a little bit early, take some time to enjoy the art in the passage.
Meet at Exit 5 of Gyeongbokgung station (subway line 3). I'll be in a red shirt.
