Hanoks, secret courtyards and Changdeokgung Palace.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
You’ll travel back to an age of craftsmanship with one of our Seoul hosts as you head north and explore the quaint Bukchon Hanok Village. Not literally traveling back in time, obviously, but it will feel a lot like you have.
Vastly different from the modern interior of Seoul, the hanoks, or tiny houses, are built in the traditional Korean style.
With elegantly tiled roofs and tiny courtyard gardens, you’ll be utterly transported to another time in whimsical alleyways, popping into cafes, art galleries, and craft shops as you navigate the crisscrossing lanes.
Your host will treat you by taking you to the oldest market in the city, where you can browse exquisite silks and sample yummy sweet treats.
As if all of that weren’t enough, the iconic Changdeokgung Palace is just a stone’s throw away, so while you’re in the neighborhood, why not swing by there, too?

And only a short two hours, we would learned a lot about Seoul, the history of South Korea and checked out many shopping/eating sites. This is a very tourist, friendly city and I wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Show moreWe had a fantastic tour with Andrew. He designed the perfect tour suited to us. A great mix of history, culture and food. He also helped us buy a t money card and showed us how to use the bus and subway. We went to Changdeokgung Royal Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, cafe street, and Gwangjang Food Market where he took us to a local pancake restaurant. We had a great time and learnt so much about Korean history and modern culture and customs. I highly recommend Andrew and this tour. "
