Free walking tours in Seoul

I recommend this tour without hesitation! It was so interesting to hear the less known facts about the culture and history of the neighbourhood and Seoul in general. Yonggyu is knowledgable, gave me so many tips, and explained in depth about Korean mentality and beliefs. We exchanged stories and had a great time. Glad I booked this tour - thanks again!

Excellent experience!! Serena was a very knowledgeable, entertaining, and fun guide. She was also very helpful. Highly recommended

Han was a very kind, knowledgeable, and experienced guide. He knew many hidden gems in Seoul, and it was a great opportunity to learn about the city’s history overall. Beyond the places we visited, Han also shared many interesting insights about Korea. I highly recommend this tour.

Sam was an awesome guide—super friendly and genuinely passionate about Korean history. The walk from Bukchon Cultural Center through Changdeokgung was incredibly informative, with deep insights that made the history come alive. Ending the tour in Ikseondong with Sam’s amazing café recommendations was the perfect touch. Highly recommended if you want a fun, meaningful, and well-paced walking tour! 🫰🏻 Cheers!

Really nice tour. Perfect for the end of the day. It's relaxed walk, you will see some beautiful places in the night and find out a little about their history. Guide will show you also some food and drink recommendations.

Our tour guide, Rick, was fantastic. He was very friendly and had good knowledgeable. Throughout the whole tour he was very engaging and explain everything clearly and made the experience both fun and informative. I can highly recommend you all to book Rick for your tour.

Diese Tour war für uns eines der wertvollsten und schönsten Erlebnisse unserer Reise nach Korea. Wir waren zu zweit unterwegs und haben uns vom ersten Moment an willkommen und bestens aufgehoben gefühlt. Der Guide hat den Gyeongbokgung Palast nicht nur erklärt, sondern uns die Geschichte wirklich fühlen lassen. Besonders bewegt hat uns, dass nicht nur Fakten vermittelt wurden, sondern liebevoll erzählte Geschichten über das Leben am königlichen Hof. Während der Führung konnten wir uns richtig in die Vergangenheit hineinversetzen und verstehen, warum der Palast so aufgebaut ist und welche Bedeutung die einzelnen Bereiche hatten. Die Mischung aus Geschichte, Kultur und Alltagsleben hat die Tour sehr persönlich, authentisch und unvergesslich gemacht. Auch der Besuch im Nationalen Volksmuseum hat uns sehr berührt und das Gesamtbild wunderbar ergänzt. Alles war hervorragend organisiert, das Tempo angenehm und die Atmosphäre sehr herzlich. Man hat gemerkt, wie viel Leidenschaft und Wissen in dieser Tour steckt. Wir sind sehr dankbar für diese besondere Erfahrung und würden diese Tour und den Guide Rick von ganzem Herzen weiterempfehlen. Dieses Erlebnis wird uns noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben.

We loved this tour! A great balance of walking, talking and information focusing on a cool and interesting neighbourhood. Very relaxed with time to ask questions and take photographs. Thank you!

Muy util el tour para el primer dia. Altamente recomendable .

Auxi es adorable y sabe muchísimo de Corea. Vale la pena completamente hacerlo. Super recomendado ❤️

Rick is so passionate about Korea and Korean culture. I learned so much in one day. I would highly recommend Rick. His English is amazing and he is very easy to understand.

Rick was a fantastic guide. He covered lots of Korean history and satisfied my curiosity about the construction of the palace and royal dynasty. Would recommend him and this tour as great entry point into Seoul!

This was a very good tour and I highly recommend it!!

Yonggyu was really friendly and accommodating. He also gives us enough fun facts to keep the tour entertaining. He recommended nice places to dine at (places I would have otherwise not known). His tour feels very local. I highly recommend him. Please be nice to him too! He's really nice (:

El tour fue genial, lo hicimos el primer día que estuvimos en Seúl y nos sirvió mucho para entender la ciudad. Además, Auxi fue muy cercana, atendió todas nuestras dudas y nos dio muchísimos consejos y recomendaciones. 100% recomendado!

Nos ha encantado, super recomendado. Nos ha dado muchos datos curiosos y rincones donde comer y comprar regalitos. Encima andaluz, un placer!!

Yonggyu was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He reached out to us early and even helped us get to the meeting place. He gave lots of food recommendations as well as answered any questions we had. Thank you!

We had a great Free Walking Tour with our guide through Seoul’s city center, the old palace, and Insadong. It was a wonderful first introduction to the city, very informative and enjoyable. Recommended!

We spent two and a half wonderful hours on this free walking tour, exploring a beautiful, non-touristy neighborhood in Seoul. Our group was small (just five people, likely thanks to the winter season) which made the experience feel very personal. Our guide lived in the area and shared many insights about its history, daily life, and local culture. We also received amazing restaurant tips, one of which led us straight to a fantastic food spot we would never have entered on our own. Truly an authentic experience. Five out of five stars — highly recommended!

Yong is a fantastic guide and will take you thorough time visiting the unassuming neighborhood he lived in. I had a fantastic time and we became friends!

We had a wonderful time with Serena, she was very kind, patient, and friendly. She knew a lot of interesting history, stories, and facts, and presented them to us in a clear and simple way. She took us to places popular with locals and answered our endless questions about life in Seoul with a smile and we were very very happy with the tour. She and Eduardo work hard to refine their tours and come prepared with materials and information and they are very professional. Wishing them both lots of success and happiness in their lives!

Rick made my first visit to Seoul extremely memorable! I had a truly incredible tour, where Rick’s knowledge and commentary was very clearly communicated with passion! He was very engaging in his delivery of the tour information and you could tell he absolutely loves his job! I will be sure to seek out future tours with Rick on return trips to Seoul! Thank you Rick for an amazing first day in Seoul!!

Excelente tour. Nuestro guía estaba puntual. Fue muy amable. Vimos una ceremonia d3 cambio de guardia. El guía nos llevó por todo el palacio y nos enseñó sobre la historia del lugar.

The tour shows a part of Seoul that you would not be visiting usually. The area is very local and worths visiting. Yonggyu was a very prepared guide and answered all our questions. Recommended!

It was a really good tour for our first time in seoul. We visited two palaces and learn a lot about korean history, and jeoson dinasty. We also walked through the city, getting to know monuments, buildings and personalities of korean culture. Eduardo speaks great spanish!! We recomend it 100 percent.
