Meeting Point
At the guest's hotel lobby
Gwangjang Market
Founded in 1905, Gwangjang Market is one of the oldest markets in Seoul and is now best known for its traditional street food. It’s a must-visit spot where even overseas celebrities stop by. Here, you can try a wide variety of Korean snacks and dishes at reasonable prices.
Gyeongbokgung palace
Gyeongbokgung palace is the oldest of the five palaces built in Seoul during the Joseon Dynasty(1392~1910). Here, you’ll learn about Joseon’s history and architecture, as well as King Sejong the Great, the creator of the Korean alphabet. You can also see the main building featured in a BTS music video.
Bukchon hanok village
Bukchon hanok village was like the Beverly Hills of the Joseon Dynasty, where noble families used to live. Here, you can see traditional Korean houses shown in the movie, and at a few photo spots, you can even capture both modern skyscrapers and traditional houses in the same shot.
Insadong & Ikseon-dong
Insadong and Ikseon-dong are great places to experience traditional culture with a retro vibe. In Insadong, you can browse traditional crafts, and in the narrow alleys of Ikseon-dong, you’ll feel a vintage atmosphere created from renovated hanok houses.
Mount Namsan and N Seoul tower
Namsan and N Seoul tower are some of the most featured backdrops in that movie and are iconic symbols of Seoul. You can take a bus to the top and enjoy a stunning view of the city. You’ll also see tons of love locks left by couples.
Myeongdong
Myeongdong is one of Korea’s most famous shopping districts. It is one of the locations featured in the movie. It’s full of large department stores and countless K-beauty shops, and nearby is Namdaemun Market, Korea’s largest traditional market. In the evening, you can also enjoy a variety of traditional street foods.
Dinner in Myeongdong
For dinner, we’ll decide together with the guests and eat in Myeongdong. I recommend trying pork belly barbecue or stir-fried chicken along with a Korean cocktail.

“Great tour guide!”
I would highly recommend Keane - he was very patient and accommodating, and very caring towards my elderly mother. He also gave a good commentary and background on the palace and history
