On our tour we will discover a fascinating mix of old and new , traditional culture with contemporary attractions.

The focus of attention in this area, and probably in the entire city, is the royal palace of Seoul Gyeongbokgung. To continue our walking circuit through some of the best palaces, Confucian shrines and Buddhist temples in Seoul, it will be like a trip on the time to the Joseon dynasty.
On the way we will visit traditional tea houses, galleries, bars and craft shops among its labyrinthine streets full of Hanoks .

Blanca es una guía encantadora y muy agradable. Recomendamos este tour al inicio del viaje si es posible ya que recomienda muchos lugares interesantes y te ofrece una amplia idea de la historia y por lo tanto, contexto de la actual Corea del Sur.
