We hired a private tour for 1 day to Nami Island, Gangchon rail park and also strawberry farm, and it was a very pleasant experience for my family and I. The driver was very friendly and he was able to converse in English. He is also fluent in Korean and Chinese/Mandarin. thank you for making our trip a truly memorable one.

This was hands down my most satisfying experience in Korea! I’ve been so worried about my appearance lately, but the dramatic improvement from just a single visit is absolutely amazing. I feel 10 years younger—I think I’m officially hooked! Thank you so much!

Five star experience! My partner and I had our memories captured for our first visit to Korea, in full Hanbok attire, at the Gyeongbokgung palace. English isn't the director's first language, but it was still a pretty smooth experience overall. Just be prepared to have a translator app in case you would like to relay anything specific to him. Him and his wife were very kind and supportive on a very warm day. They were very considerate if we had any specific ideas in mind for the shoot. Definitely book if you'd want to capture your once in a lifetime experiences 🤗 Can't wait to see the results!

We had such a great experience renting our hanboks here! The entire process did take a little while, but that was completely understandable since we had four people getting dressed, including a child, and it was also pretty busy when we visited. Everyone working there was so kind, patient, and helpful throughout the whole experience. They also spoke English well enough that we had no trouble communicating, which made everything much easier. We absolutely loved wearing our hanboks and had such a memorable experience. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to rent a hanbok while visiting Seoul! 🇰🇷

Great experience, we added the hair styling option and it was very nice (plus they lent us bags since we got the hair styling). A bit far from the palace (10 minutes from Gyeongbokgung, but it's an easy walk).

It was a fun experience! I love the hanbok that I chose. Despite a lot of people in the shop, the processing of renting was very smooth. The price for 2 hours was really worth it! I didn't have to stress about returning it early.

it was my mom’s favorite part of our trip. we rode the music cruise and watched the rainbow fountain show over the song, I See The Light. it was a very nice and memorable moment. you’d want to sit at the side facing the port since it’s favorable for the best view. you can sign up early and chill and eat at the park while waiting.

We booked this experience for our group of 3 people, and it was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Seoul! We upgraded to the Premium Hanbok, and it was completely worth it. The designs were absolutely stunning, vibrant, and looked incredibly elegant against the palace backdrop. The shop is super close to Cangdeokgung Palace, which makes it perfect since you get free general admission to the palace grounds just by wearing the full Hanbok. What we loved most was that they don't nickel-and-dime you. They offer fantastic free accessories like matching traditional bags to hold your essentials, hair accessories and inner skirts to give the dress a beautiful shape. They also provide free lockers to store your bags and clothes safely while you are out, and complimentary basic hair styling (beautiful braids) that really completes the royal look. The staff was fast, efficient, and incredibly kind. Highly, highly recommended!

Here are the points I liked: 1. There's a restroom (very important, especially for those who need to use it frequently. It's best to go before putting on the hanbok and before heading out. The store was very kind and allowed us to return to use it mid-way through our outing. Gyeongbokgung Palace actually has restrooms, and they are clearly marked, but sometimes you can still get a bit lost inside. If you're worried, I recommend marking the restrooms on a map beforehand). 2. Easy to find (just use Naver Map to navigate directly; you can also browse shops on the way from Anguk Station). 3. Clothes are in good condition (skirts are very voluminous, no holes, no strange smells). 4. There are about 5 free hairstyles (from what I remember) (all the hairstyles in the pictures below are free. Additional charges, up to 10,000 Korean Won, are only for more elaborate styles like the 'medical lady' style or intricate updos). *********** I purchased the most expensive full-day level. Upon arrival, I could choose from 40,000 Won skirts, which were basically solid-colored or gradient-colored voluminous skirts, a single layer with an additional panel skirt. Since the skirt essentially has two layers, you can still see the hoop skirt's steel frame. If this bothers you, you'll need to pay extra for a higher-tier skirt. There are options for 60,000 Won and 80,000 Won. (The 60,000 Won options include tiered skirts and long tops that cover the stomach, as well as some patterned skirts. The 80,000 Won options have gold trim and some hot-stamped designs, which are really good quality, but probably better for autumn/winter, and also come with stomach-covering tops). If you're not planning to take photos all day, 4 hours is quite enough. It's definitely enough in the summer, as you won't last much longer. I'm quite heat-tolerant, but even on an overcast day, I only lasted about 5 hours before I couldn't take it anymore. We arrived at 11 AM and still found clothes we liked, but earlier might offer more top choices (?). Everyone should consider their own timing. Regarding photography, as per the price list, you can inquire directly at the store. However, it was an overcast day, so we didn't add on a photography package, so I don't know how the photos would have turned out. Many people at Gyeongbokgung Palace hire photographers. If the weather is good and you're in a good mood, you can hire one. They are very good at directing poses and have their own camera angles, so you don't have to find spots or think of poses yourself. Also, there are lockers with keys, so make sure to keep your key safe. In summary, I highly recommend this place and would go again, but not on a hot day.
