Kickstart your trip to Seoul

What you'll do

Welcome to Seoul - you might be wondering, where on earth do I start? 

You’ll join one of our Seoul hosts as they help you orientate yourself in the South Korean capital so that you’ll be able to venture forth in complete confidence.

Depending on what you’d like to do, they could help you get to grips with the stellar public transport system, take you around to a few sights, or simply cruise around a quirky neighborhood with you, showing you its highlights and local haunts.

Now would be a great time to ask any questions you have about exploring the city and you’ll find your host to be a treasure trove of local knowledge.

Where to eat? They’ve got suggestions. Where to stay? They’ve got you covered. Any cultural dos and don’ts? They’ll help you out there too.

Consider this your one-stop shop on all things Seoul, and get ready to kickstart your trip in the best way possible!

    She was kind, planned where we should go, and we saw way more than I expected from a 3-hour trip. And as I said, all the details she could give us about history, traditions and everything.

    My tour guide Yujin contacted me several weeks ahead of the tour to get an idea of what I wanted to see. She was able to route me to all the places I had on my list with a few wonderful, unexpected detours to give me a feel of what the locals like. I enjoyed her insight and the information she shared about Seoul.

    Yujin was my tour guide for Seoul. I provided information on what I wanted to see, and she planned out the day. I got to see and experience so much more than I expected. The day was filled with a true flavor of what the city has to offer....using local transportation, eating delicious food from local vendors, visiting a popular coffee shop, shopping, and walking along the Han River. Her insight and knowledge of the Korean culture was interesting to hear. Truly magical day!
