Palace and other places - Our tour guide, Helena was terrific! She gave a lot of history and facts about the palace and old village. We were even treated to some roasted rice cake.

Tour with Gina rocks - Gina explained everything in detail and never showed a single sign of fatigue despite the inclement weather warning. The snack we tasted was really unique. She even guided us on different things to do around the city after our tour.

Awesome Cultural Tour While in Seoul - We took this tour in mid-January 2024 and this is a long overdue review. Our tour guide was Miss Jade and she was very knowledgeable of the history and culture. She has outstanding communication skills and was very patient and accommodating. Our tour sort of became a private tour as my husband and I were the only participants on that day. We were able to visit a tea house in Bukchon that was having a pop-up exhibit of Gyrongsong Creature. The bonus was the great pictures Miss Jade took of us because it was a mild and sunny January morning. Highly recommend this tour and ask for Miss Jade!!!

Great tour with our guide Pearl! - Great tour!. Pearl is an amazing lady, knowledgeable, polite, intelligent, sweet, she made us love Korea even more!. We had so much value for what we paid, the hanbok, the typical food, the views, etc. I recommend this tour, keep in mind that you are going to walk a lot but is worth it.

Tour of the Palace, museum and the surrounding village - Great tour if you want to dress up but not much of the history was explained . You could quite easily do this yourself . The guide did not explain anything in the museum either .

Playing dress up is fun no matter how old you are! - So much fun playing dress up in our traditional Korean outfits to tour the palace. Our guide, Helena, was great and very considerate especially given the temperatures. I would recommend seeing this palace.

Great intro to a beautiful city - We took this tour on our first day in Seoul. It was a great introduction to the city and some of the fascinating history of Korea. Our guide took us to see the major sites and was both informative and friendly. It was a full 1/2 day and the best way to start of our visit to this beautiful city. I’m sorry that I forgot our guides name, but she was so lovely. I remember that she has 3 children just like me!
