What you can expect

Choose between a personalised private experience or a vibrant group adventure, both led by expert, English-speaking guides who bring the past to life with captivating stories and insights. Your journey includes pre-booked tickets to Deoksugung Palace and Donuimun Museum Village.

Deoksugung Palace: Step back in time to the late 14th century and explore this historic Joseon Dynasty palace. Originally a royal relative's residence, it became a principal palace during the Japanese invasion of 1592. Discover the 500-year legacy of the Joseon Dynasty through your guide's engaging commentary and historical anecdotes.

Jeongdong-gil: Wander along this charming street, the original location of significant foreign missionary institutions that played a crucial role in shaping modern Korea, as well as several prominent foreign embassies. Along this road, we will pass by and learn about several points of historical interest, including Paichai Academy, Chungdong First Methodist Church, The Russian Embassy, and Gyeonggyojang.

Donuimun Museum Village: an outdoor village that showcases Seoul architecture. Visitors can see examples of homes from the 1900s up to the 1980s. Founded in September 2017, Donuimun Museum Village has preserved 40 out of 63 houses in the historic district of Saemunan.

Gwanghwamun Square: Stand in the heart of Seoul, a central hub brimming with cultural significance. Uncover the powerful stories behind the square's grand statues and monuments, each representing pivotal moments in Korea's journey. Gain a deeper understanding of the nation's progress and its cherished cultural values.

Cheonggyecheon: This stream, once an unsightly drainage ditch, has been renovated into a major cultural focus of Seoul. A pleasant place to walk, it is lined with sculpture pieces, restaurants, and cafés, and hosts festivals at various times of the year.
