Seoul: Gyeongbok Palace, Bukchon Village, and Gwangjang Tour - Gyeongbokgung Palace and the royal guard ceremony

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 2,321 reviews · 4 - 9 hours · from $32Our pick

Explore Seoul’s palace, hanok lanes, mountain views, ginseng culture, and Gwangjang Market on a flexible half-day or full-day tour.

“Chloe was a great guide! We did the half day tour, and learned a lot along the way. I suggest the morning tour rather than the afternoon, as the palace was practically empty when we arrived so crowds were not an issue. This was a nice way to see more of Seoul and learn about Korean culture. Also, Chloe offers to take photos of you at each spot, so that was extra lovely!”
