Things to do in Gyeongbokgung Palace

Visited the Gyeongbokgung Palace with my cousin, and for free Entrance we used the voucher for the Hanbok rental. Didn't regret it, the staff was really nice and helped us with the fitting. I chose a nice simple hairstyle that was free (there were also different one's with a extra fee). And I got a nice pretty bag (usually with a small fee, but for a review I can get it for free) And even though it was hot outside, it didn't affect the experience for us ✨✨✨

I booked a premium hanbok rental through Klook for me and my husband. Then I booked the makeup and photography through Instagram. Reservation was very easy and they were responsive on Instagram. We came in at a busy time so it was very chaotic at first but the staff were able to help me with the Hanbok fitting, hair, and makeup. The Chandeokgung palace is just a block away and that was where we met up with the photographer and had the photos taken. We only wore the costume for 2-ish hours due to the heat outside. It was a great experience and the photos turned out really great! Another plus is they have 2 really adorable and calm shop cats 🐱. I recommend this shop for Hanbok rentals.

I highly recommend the full day tour, we visited Gwajang market for a lunch break. Our tour guide Ms. Sunny was knowledgeable of the history per tourist sites, friendly and approachable! We definitely enjoyed the tour.

they were extremely busy that day so it took awhile to get help, but they very excited for two girls to Wear boys hanbok. also! there wasn't a huge premium plus size boy selection so they let us use the extra money to cover the cost of our accessories. kinda worth it ngl.

I had a wonderful experience with Stella as my tour guide! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Korea's royal palaces and brought each place to life with her fascinating stories and insights. As a first-time visitor to Korea, this tour made me appreciate the country's rich culture and history even more, and it definitely inspired me to come back again soon. Next time, I'll even make sure to try wearing a hanbok! I highly recommend booking a tour with Stella. She speaks English, Japanese, Spanish, and Korean fluently, making the experience enjoyable and accessible for visitors from all over the world. Thank you, Stella, for making my first trip to Korea so memorable!

Great tour with an excellent guide! The itinerary was well organized, and our guide Heather was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience enjoyable. Price of tour is reasonable.

What an incredible experience! The hanboks make the palace visit even more special! Thank you to the gentleman from Hanbok That Day (I apologize, I forgot his name 😢) who took these amazing photos for us. I will cherish this memory forever! 🥰

Seoul City Tour Review: The tour was a great experience and featured some of Seoul’s top attractions. From start to finish, the tour had a dedicated group and a knowledgeable guide who spoke English throughout, which made everything easy to follow. A lower rating on value for money only due to a discrepancy in klook vs other booking sites; I found to be charged almost double the price compared to some who had used tripadvisor; no fault of the tour operators, more so my own for not doing more research—everything about the tour itself ran well, and the team delivered a solid, fairly well-organized day given the 8hr itinerary. A special shout-out goes to Hanki/Eugene, who was great at his job. He stayed upbeat and helpful despite the very hot weather, and his professionalism made the tour better. Overall, I’d recommend the tour for anyone wanting to see major Seoul highlights with a friendly, English-speaking guide. just make sure to compare all options for the best value ;)

“I had a great experience renting a hanbok near Gyeongbokgung Palace. The staff were friendly and helped me choose a style that suited me well. The hanbok was clean, comfortable, and beautiful in photos. It made exploring the palace even more special. Highly recommend trying this when visiting Seoul!”
