King’s Road | A Docent-Led In-Depth Palace Tour
Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung Palace was the main royal palace and the political center of the Joseon Dynasty. From royal audiences at Geunjeongjeon Hall to diplomatic banquets at Gyeonghoeru Pavilion and the symbolism of the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony, a professional docent will guide you through the historical context and hidden stories behind each site.
This is more than a visit— it’s an opportunity to walk Gyeongbokgung with expert insight and discover the palace’s true history.
Reviews
great experience the guide mr song was nice and super knowledgable. I highly recommend. TJ from the tour co met me at the pickup and stayed w us for the first part. He even bought me a coffee since it was so cold. I would use these guys again.
It was a very nice guide. Had expected a guide with more deep knowledge about Gyoengbokgung Palace without having to read from his phone.
