Totally new to Korea and didn’t know much, but this walking tour was awesome. Learned a lot and took some great pics at the palace!
First time in Korea and this tour was such a cool intro! Gyeongbokgung was beautiful, and the guide made everything super easy to understand.
Didn’t expect to see this side of Seoul! Bukchon Hanok Village was super chill and full of photo spots. Loved walking around the alleys.
