Seoul Highlights with Locals
We'll meet at your hotel and visit all the great sights of Seoul. Seoul has been the capital of the dynasties (Baekje, Joseon) and South Korea. It has been called as "Hanseong", "Hanyang", "Seoul" as time goes by. With dynamics of modern life and traditional places to see, such as royal palaces, traditional markets, N Seoul Tower and local places, Seoul is a city with so much to offer that you might not know where to start. Dress Code: Smart Casual, Comfortable walking shoes :)
Namhansanseong fortress, UNESCO Heritage Trekking or Sightseeing
Sometimes simple traveling through the city is not enough to enjoy the Korean Beauty. Since 70 % of Korean peninsula is mountain. Why don't you visit UNESCO world cultural heritage site and walk through the sites and feel the local atmosphere. This tour is done at your pace so that we can truly enjoy Korean culture. I will walk with you, accompanying each site with insights into its cultural importance. All my tours can be customized by your request with extra or less charge.
DMZ and Gyeongbok palace with veteran, Kevin H.
If you are busy and VERY healthy, this tour is the right for you. Korean DMZ is the last evidence of "Cold War". My family members served total 100 years in Military Service. This made our family Military Prestigious Families. I will give you fun and informative DMZ tour with this experience. Let's hit the road for unique tour in the world.
Nami Island and Chuncheon Must Go, day trip from Seoul
The soap opera 'Winter Sonata' made this island famous. On the other hand it was nature-friendly place to go among Korean before the soap opera. Nami island became island from the mountain peak, because the Cheongpyeong dam increased water level of the North Han river. And once we go here, it is highly recommended to do enjoyable Rail Bike Riding and visit the Garden of Morning Calm. These are recommended destinations but the itinerary can be customized by your interest and request.
