Gwanghwamun Plaza tours

This was a very interesting tour! I was initially worried about whether my legs could handle 1.5 hours of pedaling, but it turned out to be a very friendly tour, with only 1.5 minutes of actual effort throughout the entire trip 😅. Most of the time, we were comfortably riding in an electric vehicle, exploring the city of Seoul, and listening to the guide's detailed explanations of the city's historical trajectory and recommendations for famous eateries! We also walked through alleys, listening to little stories and visiting popular, often-queued-for shops! The most amusing part was undoubtedly the humorous driver who enthusiastically greeted passersby. We were so caught up in the atmosphere that we started greeting people too, only to learn that this city's tram system is quite advanced, something many Seoul residents don't even know about – it was truly an honor to experience! Thanks for the complimentary drinks and desserts (even though I wasn't tired at all 🤣). I highly recommend this tour; it was truly unique!

Although we expected a walking tour, the tour operator had arranged for a mini van due to the cold temperature. This was a great move as it was a cold windy morning. The tour guide was knowledgeable and group was only 4 people, which made it easy to navigate. We visited two main sites during the morning and on these site we saw multiple historical and cultural places, buildings and performances such as changing of the guards. This is a great tour to start of your Seoul experience, followed by your own exploration.

I had a great experience with the tour specially with our guide Katie, she is super helpful and really fun to have around! even though the palaces were closed due to holiday she still keep the tour fun as well as she took care of everyone and never left anyone behind ! definitely recommend her ! - Anu

Clara was fantastic! She taught us so much about the palace as I was more interested in the history of it and she took great pictures of us in our pretty hamboks. And she also dropped us off at the best place to have chicken ginseng soup after our tour. wonderful experience!

This was the second walking tour we booked with June on this trip, and once again he exceeded our expectations. His background in Korean history truly shines through. He shared South Korea’s perspectives, its relationships with other countries, and the cultural context that shapes everyday life. June explained why Koreans think the way they do, why certain traditions and behaviors exist, and how the culture continues to evolve with modern changes. His depth of knowledge made everything incredibly easy to understand and so interesting. If you want meaningful insight into Korean culture and history, book this tour. You’ll learn so much in just two hours—it’s absolutely worth it.

I’ve done so many of the tours in Korea over the last two trips and this hands down my favourite. Alpaca World was awesome especially at 10am the Alpaca stampede and feeding. Nami Island is epic, wish I had more time but rent a bike for 30 mins and ride around its stunnning. The rail bike was such an incredible way to see the beauty of Korean landsacape and the tunnels have a fun surprise. Thank you Handsome Lanson.

Tour was very nice and was included the places where I want to see so I’m very satisfied. Our tour guide was Christina, she has a lot of knowledge and was very organized. She was so nice and helped taking pictures for all of us. It was super hot day and she managed the time and participants were super corporated so trip went on time. The bus was clean and very comfortable. Lunch time we could order ahead ( in the bus) so we didn’t wait for lunch when we arrived. The price was reasonable and delicious. Overall I really recommend this tour.

I would 10/10 recommend this tour. As someone who has lived in Seoul for 3 years and is fluent in Korean I know for a fact I would not have been able to complete all of these activities in one day by myself. Hyony was the tour guide for my group and she was very kind and knowledgeable on the locations we went to as a Busan local. Even if you are joining this tour solo, you will have a great time.
