Tours & Activities in Seoul
Hello Everyone,
This is Sanghyuk(English name - Sam)
My tour will explore the famous tourist places in Korea. All the places are connected to each places by walking around 10 min! I've lived in the UK for 3 years and a half years and after I come back to my country, I'd like to introduce our culture to the people who are interested in Korean culture.
My tour will have 3 places which are:
- Bukchon Hanok Village
- Changdeok Palace
- Jongmyo
Please note:
- For your Information, there is an admission fee for Changdeok Palace and Jongmyo.
- Changdeok Palace - 3,000 won
- Jongmyo - 1,000 won.
- Even though there is an admission fee to enter the places, I believe that it will be worth having a look around our culture. The tour will take around 1 hour and a half.
My tour will start from Anguk station Exit 3.
Please don't hesitate if you have any
other questions!
