In the morning, you will be greeted by your guide, who will take you through the streets of Seoul to explore its vast history in this full-day tour. Start at the National Museum of Korea, where centuries-old artifacts, royal relics, and artistic masterpieces provide insight into the country's past. Next, visit Gyeongbokgung Palace, the grandest of Seoul’s Five Grand Palaces, and watch the meticulously choreographed changing of the guard ceremony. On Tuesdays, the tour includes Deoksu Palace instead, a unique blend of traditional Korean and European architectural styles. Continue to Insadong, a district filled with traditional tea houses, antique shops, and artisan boutiques, then explore Ikseondong alley, where old hanok houses have been transformed into cozy cafés, craft stores, and hidden eateries. Afterward, head to Namdaemun Market, the largest and oldest traditional market in Korea, where vendors sell everything from handmade crafts to street food. In the evening, enjoy a classic Korean dining experience at a local restaurant with pork BBQ, expertly grilled at the table and served with an array of side dishes. Each person will receive a bottle of soju, Korea’s famous distilled liquor. After your delicious Korean dinner, return to the hotel for an evening of unwinding and relaxing.
