Walk in the morning in quiet reflection at Changgyeonggung Palace, where natural harmony, royal dignity, and warmth of family life blend seamlessly. Once the cherished home of the queens and royal women of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), the palace offers tranquil gardens, graceful architecture, and a gentle sense of history.
Perfect for travelers with limited time, yet to discover the beauty of Korea.

“Amazing KPop Demon Hunters Tour”
Sally was an incredible tour guide who did a fantastic job taking us to important scenes from the film (she had the scenes available on her iPad to show us we were indeed at the same staircase, viewpoint, etc) while also weaving in Korean history and culture. She was able to fully customize our tour and adapt on the fly as we ended up only having 5 hours in Seoul (it was a cruise stop for us from Incheon) and the Seoul Marathon was on. We highly recommend Sally and will book her for other tours when we’re in Seoul for a longer visit. If you / your children are into K-pop I’d suggest considering adding HiKR Ground to your itinerary

“Sally was a great guide in Seoul ”
We love spending the day with Sally as she guided us through the historic parts of Seoul. She really loves Korea and you can tell the pride that she has in her country. She also guided us through some of the Korean beauty shops and helped me navigate the sometimes overwhelming selection. I would highly recommend using her as a guide. She speaks English beautifully and has an amazing personality. We all loved her.
Sally K.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I truly enjoyed guiding a lovely family, and seeing how much you appreciated Korean history, culture, food, and K-beauty made my day even more rewarding! It was my great honor to be your guide, and I hope to see you again someday. I miss you already and love you all too! :)
