My name is Mark, I love traveling, a former archaeologist and a huge history nerd. I am originally from Europe but I moved to New York City 15 years ago. I have been living in Seoul for close to two years now. I really enjoy exploring this city and at this point I know hundreds of cool places to visit or see in this city.

Tour description

Summer Update:
Dear friends, please do not worry about the sun and the hot weather. I have modified this tour in order for us to be away from the sun as much as possible and under shade for most of the tour duration. We will also be visiting the COEX mall to see the famous library which is air conditioned and away from the sun.

Join me for a Free Walking Tour of Gangnam, one of the richest areas in Seoul, South Korea and the entire world. Learn about the history of Gangnam and its present-day remarkable story. Hear some fun facts and stories about modern Korea.

During this tour we will see most of the main sites in Gangnam, allowing you to explore and take photos of:

1. Bongeunsa temple

2. COEX Starfield Mall Library

3. Statue of "Gangnam Style" mega-hit song.
4. Samseong Food and Culture Street.

5. Seolleung and Jeongneung Royal Tombs.
