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.


On this tour you will discover:

  • The Altar of Heaven , Seoul's best-hidden treasure.
  • The historic Metropolitan Library , with a powerful message of survival.
  • The iconic Gwanghwamun Avenue is the ideal setting for understanding the Korean War and the indelible marks it left on the peninsula's history.
  • The tranquil Cheonggyecheon Stream , a perfect example of how Seoul balances tradition, modernity and nature.
  • The national heroes in front of their majestic statues.
  • The monumental Gyeongbokgung Gate , an eternal symbol of royal power.
  • Korea's oldest post office , where its history takes us from carrier pigeons to today's technology.
  • And finally, the spirituality of Jogyesa Temple , the epicenter of Korean Buddhism.


🍜 Of course, GASTRONOMY will have its moment.

💄 And for those interested in Korean COSMETICS, I also offer to recommend 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 12:30-1:00 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.
