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.

Full-day Intro to Seoul and Korean History
This is my standard and very popular Itinerary for this ~8 hour tour: it can be adjusted for individual preferences. Its intention is to be a fascinating orientation & overview of Seoul "old & new", with introduction to who the Koreans are, and the key points of their history and customs. We can move faster and see more, or take our time and see a bit fewer sites; it's all up to your personal style. I will be telling colorful stories all along the way. You will learn so much, and in context!!
