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.

    We had such a great time exploring Seoul with Andrew! He is incredibly knowledgeable about Korean history and culture, and we really enjoyed hearing the stories and interesting facts he shared along the way. It made visiting each place so much more meaningful. We covered quite a bit of Seoul, including City Hall, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Gwanghwamun Square, Bukchon Hanok Village, Samcheong-dong and much more. Andrew also showed us how to use the public transportation system, which was really helpful and gave us the confidence to get around Seoul on our own. One of our favorite parts of the day was when Andrew took us to a local market to experience some authentic Korean food. We sat down together, and he picked out several unique dishes for us to try. Some were things we probably wouldn’t have thought to order ourselves! It was a fun experience and a great way to get a taste of the local food culture. What we appreciated most about Andrew was that he didn’t just take us from one sightseeing spot to another. He helped us better understand the history, culture, and everyday life in Korea. We learned a lot, enjoyed some great food, and had a really fun day. We would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone visiting Seoul, especially if you want to see the highlights while also getting a more local perspective. Thanks, Andrew, for showing us around and making our time in Seoul so memorable!
