Korean Highlight Tour with Hanbok & Tea Ceremony

Seoul encapsulates the best of South Korean culture but for first-time visitors, it can often feel overwhelming. Make the most of even limited time in the city on a full-day small-group tour that includes hotel pickup and focuses on highlights such as Bukchon Hanok Village and Gwangjang Market. Rather than navigating an unfamiliar city alone, you’ll get your bearings and benefit from insider info with a guide.
