The best Seoul private tours & experiences with locals

One of the most iconic cities on earth is ready to be explored on private tours of Seoul with City Unscripted. The Korean capital is a treasure trove of centuries-spanning history and preserved tradition, but it also happens to be a pop-culture powerhouse that has made its mark on the world stage. On private tours of Seoul, you’ll experience both sides to the coin. Our private tours are 100% authentic, and we’ll make sure you experience this sprawling cityscape like a local. Your handpicked guide will show you this city that unites past and present with ease. Discover fascinating history and futuristic attractions on Seoul private tours that squeeze it all in.

Meet some of our Seoul local hosts

Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests – but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home, they choose to spend their free time sharing it with the like-minded travelers matched to them.

We’ve handpicked them and we’ll match you to your perfect one!

See Seoul like a local

In this compact but attraction-crammed city, many of the most exciting things to see and do aren’t found on a top 10 travel list. Luckily, on private tours of Seoul with City Unscripted, you won’t be limited to the tourist traps – our local hosts create private tours in Seoul that also show you the city’s secret gems. Of course, we’ll make sure you don’t miss out on must-see sights like Gyeongbok Palace and the crowded Myeongdong shopping district, but we’ll also show you the local haunts and holes-in-the-wall few tourists get to see on our private city tours of Seoul.

Itineraries tailored to you

With City Unscripted, no two private tours of Seoul are the same. In fact, we do more than just pair you with a like-minded local guide – we also take the time to understand your personality and passions, so we can craft a perfect tour of the Korean capital tailored to you. Whether you want to get a crash course in the city on our “Kickstart” experience, sample spicy tteokbokki on private Seoul food tours, or learn about Korean culture on our “Explore artistic Insadong” tour, your experience will be 100% personalized. What are you waiting for? Let’s get planning!

Travel through time

In Seoul, the relationship between old and new is so striking that private tours of Seoul can feel like a trip through time. Ancient temples and shrines give a glimpse into the past, while inner-city alleys lined with neon skyscrapers look like scenes straight out of a futuristic video game. Our Seoul private tours give you the opportunity to embrace both sides to the city. Whether you try on a traditional hanbok dress and explore an old-school street market or shop K-beauty brands at brightly-lit stores with an unrelenting K-pop beat, you’ll soon find the true spirit of Seoul.

GJ was an amazing guide, she had lots of energy and was very knowledgeable! I said I wanted to see as much as possible during our 6 hours together and she did not disappoint. We went to a Palace, a political building, a temple, a tower with incredible views, ate some great traditional food at street markets and so much more. She helped me navigate the subway, taught me some Korean, and was a kind and imaginative photographer. It felt like I received a truly local and differentiated experience. I saw and learned a ton, and met an incredible person in the process - highly recommend!

Had a fantastic first ever visit to Seoul thanks to our guide, Ruth, who was very informative, conscientious, flexible with our interests and itinerary and fun. Went to some great spots we would not have discovered on our own and was very helpful with some great suggestions for future points of interest after our tour was over.
