Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul, South Korea Gyeongbokgung Palace is arguably the most beautiful, and remains the largest of all five palaces.
Remarkably, the most representative edifices of the Joseon Dynasty, Gyeonghoeru Pavilion and Hyangwonjeong Pond have remained relatively intact.
Woldae and the sculptures of Geunjeongjeon (The Royal Audience Chamber) represent past sculptures of contemporary art. 120 minutes
Insadong, Seoul, South Korea Insadong is a valuable space where old but valuable traditional objects are exchanged in the middle of the city.
Packed with galleries, traditional crafts shops, antique shops, traditional tea houses, traditional restaurants and cafes
Stores in Insa-dong are very popular with young people as well as middle-aged people for their unique style.
Foreign tourists who visit Korea to see traditional Korean culture buy old-fashioned dried pollack or gomisul at traditional stores. And buy the peels on the street and eat the traditional scallions. 120 minutes
Bukchon Hanok Village, Seoul, South Korea Surrounded by Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace and Jongmyo Shrine, Bukchon Hanok Village is home to hundreds of traditional houses, called hanok, that date back to the Joseon Dynasty.
The name Bukchon, which literally translates to “northern village,” came about as the neighborhood lies north of two significant Seoul landmarks, Cheonggyecheon Stream and Jongno.
Today, many of these hanoks operate as cultural centers, guesthouses, restaurants and tea houses, providing visitors with an opportunity to experience, learn and immerse themselves in traditional Korean culture. 120 minutes

Booked with package via Viator and we specified to meet at our Hotel. The tour operator did not get in touch to confirm a meetup time, so we tried calling the tour operator and there is no answer.
We paid in full for the One Day tour but did not get to do it as they never contacted us. Now we are trying to get the refund sorted out and we have yet to hear from the local tour operator.

This was our first family trip to Korea. It was 6 of us with grandparents. Miki was a great tour guide for the two days we had in Seoul. He was very attentive to our needs because our two boys (7 and 3 years old) needed to have fun and exciting things instead of the plain sightseeing. Miki had answers to whatever questions and requests we had. Our flight arrived very early before anything was opened. So Miki added another stop to the itinerary and took us to the an observation point where we could see the entire Seoul and the sunrise. We asked Miki about changing the itinerary so we could find more activities for kids instead of visiting the traditional village. He took us to different places at Insadong and the kids had so much fun.
Miki was great with our boys especially the 3 year old. He even held him for us when the little boy was too tired to walk! He was a great tour guide and also a great photographer. In addition to helping us take pictures for us, he even took out his own SLR camera and started taking pictures to journal our visit. And he uploaded all the pictures to Google Drive for us before we asked him. We really enjoyed our time in Seoul. Thanks to Miki for giving us a great experience. We were very glad that we booked with Exciting Korea. Next time if we are planning to go skiing in Korea, we would definitely ask for Mik (heard that he is also a ski instructor, perfect for our kids!)
