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.

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.

    Excellent tour of palace and palace intrigue. Our guide, GJ (Won JeeEun) was excellent! Very enthusiastically showing us palace grounds, and changing of the guard. She was knowledgeable, personal and cheerful. Our walk through food market was fascinating and GJ took very attentive to our needs and interests. Her photographic talents were exceptional and she was so willing to capture us with important background scenes. I highly recommend this tour and highly recommend GJ as a tour guide.

    Easy and simple too book, I gave them an idea of the types of things I wanted to see and a short while later they sent me back a suggested itinerary. The Guide was prompt to meet me, friendly knowledgeable, and the tour was terrific.

    An amazing, tailor-made experience in Seoul! We had an incredible 4-hour tour around Seoul with Andrew, and it was absolutely worth a 5-star rating. It was a very intense but rewarding four hours where he showed us spectacular places that are completely off the beaten tourist path. For most of the tour, we weren't surrounded by crowds, waiting in long lines, or feeling packed in with other tourists. On top of that, Andrew designed the itinerary completely around our specific interests, and he is incredibly knowledgeable about Korea. Highly recommended! Opción 2: Corta y directa (Ideal para Viator, GetYourGuide o Airbnb Experiences) Unforgettable tour with an amazing guide! Andrew gave us an incredible 4-hour custom tour of Seoul. He tailored the itinerary perfectly to our interests and took us to spectacular, hidden spots away from the usual tourist crowds and long lines. Andrew is extremely knowledgeable about Korea and made our time feel both intense and exciting. 5 stars all the way! Opción 3: Entusiasta y moderna The best way to see the real Seoul! Doing a tour with Andrew was an absolute highlight of our trip! He customized a 4-hour itinerary just for us based on our interests, taking us to spectacular places off the beaten track. It was so refreshing not to be surrounded by packed tourist crowds or stuck in lines. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable about Korea. 10/10 recommendation!

    Before the tour, Andrew asked us about our preferences and adapted the tour accordingly. We were able to learn a lot of new things.
