Seoul Gyeongbokgung Palace, Jogyesa Temple & N Seoul Tower City Tour - Hotel Pickup

Start from your Seoul hotel and explore
Gyeongbokgung and Jogyesa with an English guide

This Seoul city tour begins with hotel pickup. The morning tour (09:00-12:30) covers Cheong Wa Dae, Gyeongbokgung Palace, the National Folk Museum of Korea, Jogyesa Temple and a ginseng center before ending at City Hall. The full-day tour (09:00-17:00) continues after lunch to Insadong, N Seoul Tower and Namsan Hanok Village and ends at Myeongdong Station. A licensed English-speaking guide accompanies you, and admission fees are included.

Pass Cheong Wa Dae and discover royal history at Gyeongbokgung

After pickup from your hotel, the vehicle drives past Cheong Wa Dae, the former presidential residence. You then watch the guard changing ceremony and learn about the history of the Korean royal family from your guide at Gyeongbokgung, the largest palace of the Joseon Dynasty. On Tuesdays the tour visits Deoksugung Palace instead of Gyeongbokgung.

Visit the National Folk Museum and Jogyesa Temple

At the National Folk Museum of Korea you learn about traditional Korean life and culture, and at Jogyesa Temple, the center of Korean Buddhism, you can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere in the middle of the city. The tour then stops at a ginseng center. The morning tour ends here, with drop-off at City Hall.

The full-day tour continues
from Insadong to Namsan Hanok Village

On the full-day tour, lunch (paid separately) is followed by a walk through Insadong, which is full of traditional crafts, tea houses and souvenir shops. You enjoy panoramic views of Seoul around N Seoul Tower and explore restored hanok houses at Namsangol Hanok Village at the foot of Namsan to see how people lived in the Joseon era. On Mondays the tour visits Bukchon Hanok Village instead of Namsangol, and it ends at Myeongdong Station.

※ Gyeongbokgung is closed on Tuesdays and Namsangol Hanok Village on Mondays, so the tour visits Deoksugung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village instead.
※ The N Seoul Tower observatory ticket and lunch are not included.
