Tour description

I invite you to discover Seoul through a cultural tour, designed for curious travelers seeking an authentic experience that will allow them to immerse themselves in Korean history in an accessible, enjoyable, and entertaining way.


During the tour:

· We'll start at City Hall , where you'll get an overview of the history of Korean dynasties and learn about the challenges and transformations the country has undergone.

· We will walk along Gwanghwamun Avenue , one of the most emblematic, full of modern symbols and stories about Korean resilience and identity.

We'll stop at Cheonggyecheon Stream, a perfect example of the balance between tradition, nature, and modernity.
· We will stop at statues of historical figures crucial to the Korean people.

· We will stand in front of the majestic Gyeongbokgung Palace , the heart of the Joseon Dynasty. (without entering the palace).

· We'll end in Insadong , the epicenter of traditional and artistic culture, ideal for sampling local delicacies, purchasing unique souvenirs, and exploring contemporary Korean art.

🍜 Of course, gastronomy will have its moment.
💄 And for those interested in Korean cosmetics, I also offer to share their best secrets.

My goal is that, by the end of the tour, you'll be able to position yourself in Korean history , understand what its inhabitants have been through, and connect all of this with the modern, dynamic, and avant-garde Seoul of today.

Note: The tour will end around 1:00–1:30 PM, just in time for you to enjoy lunch before many restaurants close for their regular lunch break, which usually runs from around 2:30–5:00 PM.
