Highly recommend for English speakers and for those who want their memories captured for them! - This was our 2nd time in Seoul but first time doing a tour here. I highly recommend it! Hansol provided fascinating insights into the history and architecture of the area, making it feel like a step back in time. We went to Insadong and Hanok Village- a great mix of old and new, where traditional teahouses sit beside modern art galleries. We also ventured to the Mural Village where we saw some awesome murals and street art- loved how our pictures came out. Thank you for capturing our Seoul experience, Hansol!

I LOVE Seoul after this incredible tour! - What an amazing experience!! I loved every moment of this tour. Our tour guide was super friendly, knowledgeable, and knew all of the secret ins-and-outs of Seoul that we would have never experienced otherwise. I won't spoil some of the surprises, but I'll say that you will definitely not regret booking this tour!

Loved trying traditional Korean foods in a clean and artistic town! - After watching Korean dramas- I've always wanted to try Korean street food and tour Seoul in a hanbok. SO GLAD I DID THIS TOUR! Insadong is so much cleaner and less hectic than other areas and I loved all the cute little cafes here that had both Korean and other types of cuisines. I especially liked the wine and appetizers at this cute Italian/French- style cafe that my tour guide recommended and we also went to the cutest mochi dessert shop. In comparison....my dad and I went to the Gwangjang Food Market which showed up as the #1 place to try street food...but none of the places looked sanitary so all I ate at Gwangjang was a donut. Definitely try the street food in Insadong instead of the open food markets- especially if you care about sanitation ;) I asked our tour guide to take some photos of me and they came out so great! He also gave me some recommendations for other artsy towns to visit. Thanks Hansol!

Awesome food, ambience, and scenic tour! - Loved this tour! If you’re looking for a clean area to enjoy traditional Korean clothing, foods, romantic cafes, and shopping- Insadong was awesome. First time taking a tour that includes professional photos- highly recommend if you want to take in the moment and have it captured. My tour guide emailed us our photos a couple hours after the tour!
