This private tour in Seoul is of the luxury level. Take into consideration that the initial price includes dinner at a restaurant and transportation expenses. We will spend the whole day exploring the highlights of Seoul. By means of this tour you will get a wonderful overview of the city, its culture and traditions and of course the traditional customs of South Korea as a whole.

We will start the tour from visiting the Changdeokgung Palace, which is situated in the Jongno Park. It is worth noting that Changdeokgung is considered to be one of the “Five Grand Palaces” – the creations of the Joseon Dynasty kings. Any professional private guide in Seoul would definitely recommend you to visit this marvelous place. As the matter of fact, the palace bears a speaking name; it means the “Palace of Prospering Virtue”. Unfortunately it was severely damaged during the Japanese occupation, and nowadays we can relish only 30% of its former beauty and grandeur. At the beginning of the tour we will visit the village Bukchon Hanok.

It is a very notable village, because its inhabitants stick to the traditional past way of life, while the rest of the country is trying to keep in pace with the modern technologies. We will also visit the Isadong neighborhood, which is known as a street representing the culture of both past and present.  Till evening we will also visit Cheonggyecheon and the Gwangjang Market .
