It was insightful and entertaining. Our tour guide Steve was very attentive and friendly. We took great pictures and got a good overview of the entire palace. For the price, it’s definitely worth it!!

Its like stepping into a movie and reliving South Korean Joseon Dynasty again. This was so sensational. It is spectacular how this is divided from the modern world. If I were to go back to South Korea, I would visit more of the ''tradional'' places and visit this one again.
Not only can you relive this, but the art performances were also magnifying. I felt like a South Korean royal, watching the entertainers. I am looking for a song one of the Pansori singers sang but still am not able to find it after so many years.
