The Award-Winning Tour Specialist
Extend your holiday with a stay in South Korea's incredible capital city, where grand palaces and traditional houses sit alongside modern skyscrapers.
A full-day guided city tour introduces you to the capital's royal history, bustling Insadong and panoramic views from Namsan Seoul Tower. You'll also have a full day at leisure to explore local neighbourhoods, browse the shops or sample the city's tempting street food.
Arrive in Seoul, where your driver will meet you at Incheon Airport and transfer you to your hotel. Spend the rest of the day at leisure to explore this vibrant capital, where traditional palaces meet modern skyscrapers.
You will be picked up from your hotel to begin your full-day seat-in-coach tour of Seoul. Pass by the Blue House (Cheong Wa Dae), South Korea's presidential office, before exploring Gyeongbok Palace. Observe the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony and visit the palace's National Folk Museum, then continue to Jogyesa Temple before lunch. This afternoon, explore Insadong Street's antique shops and boutiques, visit N Seoul Tower for panoramic city views, and finish at Namsangol Hanok Village, where restored traditional houses offer a glimpse into Korea's past. (On Mondays, Namsangol Hanok Village is replaced by a visit to Myeongdong shopping district. On Tuesdays, the itinerary may vary as Gyeongbok Palace is closed.)
Enjoy the day at leisure to explore the many sights and sounds of Seoul.
Transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
