Seoul Day Tour

In the morning, you will meet your guide in the hotel lobby to begin your tour of Seoul. The day starts with a visit to the National Museum of Korea, home to an extensive collection of artifacts that showcase the country's cultural and historical heritage. Next, head to Gyeongbokgung Palace to see the Changing of the Guard ceremony. (On Tuesdays, visit Deoksu Palace instead.) Continue to the Tteok Museum, where you'll learn about the history and significance of Korean rice cakes. Then, visit Museum Kimchigan in Insadong, where you can explore the tradition and craftsmanship behind Korea’s most iconic fermented dish. Take some time to stroll through Insadong's antique alley, lined with traditional tea houses, art galleries, and shops. After a day full of history and discovery, return to the hotel in the evening before you go to a restaurant for a traditional meal to kickstart your culinary journey. For dinner, enjoy a classic Korean experience with pork BBQ, paired with soju.
