Seoul: Full or Half-Day Sightseeing Tour with Local Guide Seoul: Full-Day Sightseeing Tour

Explore Seoul’s highlights on a full or half-day tour, visiting iconic palaces, vibrant markets, temples, and scenic spots. Discover culture, history, and modern city life with an expert guide.
Your journey begins at Gyeongbokgung Palace, the largest and most stunning of Seoul’s five grand palaces. Here, you’ll witness the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony, a colorful and traditional performance that brings the Joseon Dynasty to life. (Tuesday tours visit Changdeokgung Palace instead.)

Continue to Bukchon Hanok Village, a charming neighborhood filled with traditional Korean houses, many of which serve as cultural centers, guesthouses, and restaurants. If Bukchon is closed, the tour will instead visit the historic Namsangol Hanok Village.

After exploring the village, relax in a comfortable vehicle as you enjoy a scenic drive toward Bugak Skyway, passing by Cheongwadae, the former Blue House presidential office. Arriving at Bugak Palgakjeong Pavilion, you’ll be treated to sweeping panoramic views of Seoul from the slopes of Bugaksan Mountain—an ideal spot for peaceful sightseeing and memorable photos.

Next, visit the Cheongha Korea Ginseng Museum, where you’ll learn about the long history and health benefits of Korean ginseng, a revered medicinal root known for its exceptional adaptogenic qualities.

The tour concludes at Gwangjang Market, Korea’s first traditional market and a lively hub of food and local culture. Wander through stalls selling textiles, street snacks, and handmade goods. This is the perfect chance to try beloved Korean dishes like bindaetteok (mung bean pancake) or mayak gimbap (addictive mini seaweed rice rolls).

– The War Memorial of Korea, with a focus on the 3rd-floor United Nations Memorial Cemetery exhibit
– The National Museum of Korean Contemporary History
– Jogye Temple, the heart of Korean Buddhism
– Tapgol Park, rich with independence movement history
– Ending with drop-off at Myeongdong Cathedral
