Watching the changing of the guards at the palace and witnessing the Buddha prayers at the temple. K was our guide. She was great!

Do not recommend. While the guide was nice, a significant portion of the time is spent counting and herding the 30+ participants.
At the end, there is a high pressure sales pitch for ginseng.

Our tour guide, Wendy Lee, was outstanding! She spoke English really well and I appreciated all the history she shared with us. She even managed to crack a few jokes while in the bus. She also managed our time well, ensuring we avoided the crowds as much as possible. I highly recommend this Seoul City Tour!
