Walking Tour to Cheong Wa Dae (Blue House) + Gyeongbok Palace (Optional)
- Let's visit the place for past and present kings.
- Originally, Cheongwadae also known as the Blue House was used to be the residence and office for President of Korea. And it opens to the public from May 10, 2022 after we got the 15th President Yoon. Before that, it’s was hard to go into the Cheongwadae (Blue House) for the tour.

So, don’t miss our tour! -Cheongwadae (Blue House) Tour has limited seats and it must book at least 2 days in advance.
Gyeongobok Palace (optional)
- Gyeongbok Palace was built in Joseon Dynasty and it served as main palace for more than 500 years.
- Your knowledgeable tour guide will help you to understand Korea history and beauty of Korea.




Reviews
our very kind English speaking tour guide Joonie gave my son and myself a wonderful, very interesting tour. she gave interesting insight on the Blue House and made the tour extremely special. I noticed that while she was talking other people were listening because she was so interesting. I am so glad that I took this tour!
Very interesting and informative tour of the Blue House and the surrounding gardens. AJ was a fantastic guide and made the whole experience enjoyable and fun
Our tour guide Joonie is so lovely and nice! She provided a lot of insightful information about the blue house. It was fun and interesting experience for us joining this tour.

Our guide, Joonie had lots of interesting stories to share during the 1.5 hour tour of the blue house. She was organised and clearly explained the itinerary at the start and gave us sufficient time to take photos. It was great that we were pre-registered for entry and could enter immediately without queuing. An interesting place to visit since it just opened to the public in 2022. It had a beautiful garden with nice autumn foliage even in mid to late november.
Although Cheong Wa Dae is free to enter, a tour guide is required for the first visit to truly understand the process of Korean modern history. Especially this time, the tour guide - Miss Dugu (yes, there are people with compound surnames in Korea) is very kind and clear in explaining. The modern history of Cheong Wa Dae allows everyone to understand these processes in a simple way. Well worth the trip. Like 👍!
Guide is wonderful, very knowledgeable. Takes good care of all of us. Would definitely recommend him for best tour guide.
our tour guide Joonie was the best I could find. She’s super nice and made the whole tour very interesting… you can clearly tell that she loves her job
Joonie was such a great tour guide. She shared historical knowledge of not only the Blue House but also of Korea. She also took wonderful photos. I would strongly consider taking another tour with Joonie.
You can visit the National Guest House, Blue House and the Presidential Residence. Currently, the President no longer works or lives in the Blue House. The tour guide explains clearly in Chinese and is very suitable for tourists who want to listen to the explanation.
