Seoul Travel Guide: Essential Information for Visitors

Seoul amazes visitors as a dynamic metropolis where cutting-edge technology meets deep-rooted traditions in the world's most connected city. Explore the majestic Gyeongbokgung Palace and witness the colorful Changing of the Guard ceremony, wander through the traditional hanok houses of Bukchon Village, then dive into the ultra-modern districts of Gangnam and Hongdae where K-pop culture, high-tech shopping, and innovative cuisine create an electrifying urban experience. Seoul's incredible food scene ranges from street food markets like Myeongdong to high-end Korean BBQ restaurants, while the city's 24/7 energy means karaoke rooms, jjimjilbangs (Korean spas), and night markets stay busy until dawn. The efficient subway system makes exploration easy, while the Han River parks offer peaceful respites from the urban excitement. As the heart of the Korean Wave, Seoul perfectly balances ancient traditions with futuristic innovation.

You’ll join one of our hosts to flit your way around some of the best the city has to offer, the unmissable if you will. Obviously, we’d be lying and you’d be silly to believe us if we said you could see it all in a day, but you can have a good go! If you’ve got a Seoul bucket list, now would be a good time to whip it out, or let your host share with you the spots which they think are unmissable for a unique spin on things. Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

New tour created by itseoulgood. I've been running tours for 8 years. This is going to be a fun tour in my favorite part of Seoul. You will get to experience a little bit of the culture, history, food, and the people. We will start in one of the oldest and biggest food markets in Seoul then we will continue through some small hidden alleys and spots. You will get to see a little bit of the old and the new. We will taste a ton of unique items throughout the market and in different neighborhoods. Walk through a modernized, cultural area hidden in the back alleys. Take a stroll through the historical area of Insadong, where there are tons to see and shop. We will finish in one of the most traditional hidden teahouses in a traditional area. I will help answer any questions and give recommendations as well! Other things to note: All of the food will be included in the tour fee. Bring extra cash if you would like to purchase additional items.
