What you'll do

You’ll meet up with your host and get sightseeing, making the most of your time in South Korea’s capital. You could follow the crowd and see glamorous Gangnam from the top of the Lotte World Tower (all 1820ft of it) or head down to the street level to take in the epic scale of malls like COEX, and the sheer luxury of Apgujeong, the most expensive slice of Seoul’s sultriest suburb.

You’ll also discover culinary hotspots like Itaewon, where the world’s favorite flavors fuse along Gyeongnidan Street, a thriving hub of multinational cuisine. If you’d prefer to head off the beaten path, why not ask your host to take you to hidden gems like Sangsu, where indie vibes meet pub crawls and street food?

Where you’ll go

You’ll experience Seoul’s vibrant culture in iconic areas like Bukchon Hanok Village, a reconstructed 15th-century suburb famed for its cultural value and rustic tea shops, or you could opt for the glitz and glam of more modern districts like Gangnam, a pop-culture parade of the highest order, where the who’s who of Korean glitterati come out to play.

Your host will also lead you to hidden gems like Ikseon, a burgeoning hipster hangout lined with 100-year-old homes now serving as trendy boutiques and classy cafes. See icons of futuristic South Korean architecture in the city center before kicking back and savoring some local street food at Myeongdong market, surrounded by the biggest brand names in the world.

    Seeing Seoul with Sujeoung was a wonderful treat. First off, my flight was delayed and Sujeoung graciously adjusted our meeting time to accommodate the delay. The day was perfectly designed according to my request: a tour of Changdukgong Palace and grounds; Hanok village; Ikseon Dong; a traditional tea break; tasting some street food such as egg bread, bungoh, chestnuts; a tour of Gwangjang Market and sampling some of the traditional delicacies; ending the day with a walk along Chungyechun Stream and Myeong-dong. This tour made me want to come back to Seoul and see more of the city and the rest of South Korea. Thank you, Sujeoung!

    Sujeong was such an amazing tour guide. She took her time to show me every landmark in South Korea. We went around the city, and we took the bus up to N Seoul tower. The view of the city at night was breathtakingly amazing. I will definitely come back to South Korea again. Thank you so much Sujeong!

    Sujeong was such a great tour guide! She was so informative and gave tips that actually helped me during the rest of my trip in Seoul. She went above and beyond to show me places that she thought would interest me. Her photography skills are A1 too. I highly recommend her and would love to have her as a guide again in the future!
