Explore Historic Seoul with a Local, Bukchon Hanok Village
Description
Travel back to an age of craftsmanship with one of our local Seoul hosts as you explore the quaint Bukchon Hanok Village. With elegantly tiled roofs and tiny courtyard gardens, you’ll be utterly transported to another time in whimsical alleyways, popping into cafes, art galleries and craft shops as you navigate the crisscrossing lanes. Your host will take you to the oldest market in the city, where you can browse exquisite silks and sample yummy sweet treats and why not visit the nearby Changdeokgung Palace while you are at it? 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.

This tour with Yujin as my guide was my favorite day in Seoul. Yujin was absolutely wonderful. I really enjoyed our day exploring Bukchon Hanock Village and the other sites that we visited. I learned so much about the history and culture of Korea. I highly recommend this tour with Yujin!
