Changdeokgung tours

Due to my lateness to join the tour, I end up doing my own Gyeongbokgung tour and only joined my tour guide, Chloe on Hanok and the rest of the tours. Despite that, I have a great time and Chloe guided the rest of the participants with passion and enlighten us with great knowledge of Korean history.

The whole thing is a combination of handsome men and beautiful women. The driver is a handsome Korean guy. Although he doesn't understand Chinese, it's pleasing to the eye. The Chinese tour guide is a beautiful woman with a good temperament. She is humorous and has a sweet smile. The friendly attitude of the two people makes people feel very good. It is really comfortable to ride in the car with the cool breeze on summer nights. You can see the scenery that you don't usually notice during the whole trip. The car will play very exciting music during the driving process. When you meet pedestrians and hear the driver ring the bell, everyone will wave and say hello to the passers-by. Some people will respond enthusiastically, and some people will show a look of surprise. Later, the Chinese tour guide also buried a little surprise for shy people to experience the Korean enthusiasm, which made me feel ashamed. Those who have not experienced it can try it well!

This tour was the perfect fit for doing a lot in a little bit of time! We booked the half day tour and was amazed at how much we were able to see without the hassle of navigating to each place given we were flying out of Korea later that afternoon. The two highlights for me was the changing of the guard at Gyeongbokgung Palace and the Korean Ginseng Center since I love ginseng! I was able to snag some for home as well! Sunny was a very informative tour guide and I highly recommend this tour if you are trying to make the most of a half day in Korea!

Our pedicab tour through Bukchon Hanok Village was a fantastic experience. Our guide brought the history to life, showing us the statue of the boy fishing where canals once flowed and even the actual stones where women used to wash clothes. He was full of great local tips, like where to find the specific black sesame ice cream at the Baskin-Robbins and a tea house where you can soak your feet. The tour ended with a fun dancheong painting session where we learned the meaning of the colors, and I love the tiger charm I brought home. It was a perfect blend of history, culture, and local secrets.

I recently joined a tour that exceeded my expectations! From the start, I felt welcomed and excited, especially since I had the chance to meet some wonderful new people. Our tour guide, Sally, truly made the experience special. She was not only super lovely but also incredibly knowledgeable about the places we visited. Her passion for the history and culture really shone through, making each stop engaging and memorable. I left the tour feeling enriched by both the sights and the connections I made. Highly recommend this experience!

We loved everything about this tour. It was seamless! From the itinerary down to the schedule. The whole experience was perfect 🫰🏼I was expecting it to be a little on the serious side but it was made fun and enjoyable because of our lovely tour guide AJ from Seoul City Tour. She’s the best!

Thank you, Sky! Thank you for taking care of me and waiting for me even though I was 5 minutes late 🥹. As a solo traveler, I didn’t feel left out at all. He always asked me things like, “Do you prefer spicy?” or telling me, “It’s okay, they are serving single portions at the restaurant too.” I really liked the dakgalbi restaurant he took us to, it was delicious 😋. You did a great job.

Had a really fun day! We visited four places and everything felt well paced, not rushed at all. It was cold, but there were fewer crowds and the weather was great for photos. Our guide, Hakim, was friendly and professional, and kept us updated the whole time, even through chat. Definitely a memorable tour and one I’d recommend.
