Seoul Gyeongbokgung & Bukchon Hanok Village Half-Day Small Group Tour

We did this trip today with Wany and even in late winter it was fantastic. We were lucky today as we were the only ones who'd booked so we had a private tour. Wany was extremely informative, we learnt a lot about Korea's history whilst seeing some of the key sites around Seoul - Gyeongbokgung palace, the changing of the guard, some of the local museums, Bukchon Hanok Village where we stopped for a delicious apricot tea looking over the rooftops and then saw a historic house. Along the way Wany took photos of us for our memory and even recommended a delicious dumpling place for lunch and other activities we might be interested in after we'd finished the trip. This was such a great experience - I would definitely recommend especially if this is your first time in Korea.

I had a wonderful time during the entire trip. The package includes the attire, transport, and a wonderful tour guide Mr. Kim. He explained the history of the palace and nearby places as well. The places we've been to are all strategically nearby so navigating those were so easy. Only point I would recommend is having more time to explore the areas for us to check what's in store around.

What a wonderful experience we had. Everything went smoothly.Ron was so kind , we really enjoyed walking the palace yard wearing traditional clothes, it was an awesome experience

The tour was amazing! Our guide was knowledgeable, and taught us so much about history! He knew the best picture spots, and was so friendly. Dressing in a hanbok truly enriched our experience! We’re so happy that we chose this tour during our time in South Korea!

This was truly such a nice experience. As a Black woman new to this country, it was quite intimidating to think of being such a sore thumb among the natives, but Stella, our guide, made me feel very comfortable. The Hanbok rental process was quick, and the options were really nice. I honestly don’t have anything negative to say; I loved my group, I loved my guide, and this was fun. There was a lot of walking up inclines though, so if you can’t handle that, you might have to cut the trip short at some point. The view is definitely worth it, and you also get great history lessons. itinerary: 💙🙌 guide:❤️🙌

It was really great to have Kay as our guide as she gave us a background and explained many interesting facts about Gyeongbukgung Palace & Bukchong Village. If it weren't for Kay, we wouldn't appreciate this tour. Kay even helped us pick a resto for lunch at Insandong ;)

Wany was an excellent host. He was knowledgeable about the places we visited: the palace, tea house and traditional house. He also accommodated those tourists who did not know that we would need to walk a lot. Highly recommended!

Sheen was amazing! From the beginning to end, the tour was a wonderful experience. I highly suggest booking this if it’s your first time. December is slow season so it’s less crowded! Thank you again Sheen!!!

Started my korea trip with another place and met Ji-woo as our guide. Today was my last day in Korea and coincidently has Ji-woo again for this tour. Needless to say, it’s just the perfect tour for this palace. You get to learn fun facts and history and see korea from the lense of a localite!

Our Guide Katie was an absolute pleasure to meet. While it rained the whole time, she was a trooper and kept our spirits up! Would absolutely recommend. Learned a lot and got to wear hanbok and take pictures.
