Tailoring each experience to your wishes by locals who love their city
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.
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.
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!
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.
Bergen was an exceptional host to our walking tour through Seoul. Due to the heat, he was very accommodating to our requests to take public transportation (and trained us how to use the subway system which was very helpful for the rest of our trip!). We enjoyed the history explanations, visit to the palace, and especially the Hanok village and noodles for lunch. A great way to see Seoul for first time visitors!
