Flexible Private Guided Tour in Seoul with Driver

Overview

Explore the city of Seoul on a 9-hour private excursion. Accompanied by a professional guide and transported in an air-conditioned mini-van, you have a flexible itinerary to visit the sites of your choice at your own pace. The guide provides recommendations for attractions and authentic local dining options. While suggestions are offered, you retain the freedom to modify your stops and manage your free time as you wish. Two pick-up options are available: a collection and drop-off service from Incheon Airport, or pick-up from your hotel or a chosen location in Seoul. A traditional tea is included during the experience.

Itinerary

1. Gyeongbokgung

   (Tuesday - secondary palace) Enjoy a full guided tour of the main royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty. Your guide will share fascinating stories about the site’s history and show you the best spots for photos. Because the palace is quite large, it can be difficult for tourists to explore on their own — that’s why your guide is here to help!

   · 2 h· Admission included

2. Le parc de Hangang

   A private tour is truly worth it when we explore not only the north of the Han River but also the south — even if it takes a bit more time!

   · Non-stop passage

3. Insadong

   Stroll down a charming traditional street filled with Korean pottery, artwork, antiques, and cozy Korean-style cafés. After lunch, we’ll relax and enjoy traditional Korean tea together — it’s said to help boost your energy for the rest of the walk! And don’t worry, the guide will treat everyone to tea.

   · 1 h 30 min

4. Bongeunsa Temple

   (For the layover tour, it can be replaced in case of heavy traffic) This large and beautiful temple offers peace and history right in the heart of Seoul. We’ll walk around together as the guide explains its background and meaning. You’ll see colorful lanterns and lotus flowers along the way. On the drive there, we’ll pass through Gangnam, one of Seoul’s busiest downtown areas. It’s amazing to find such a calm and spiritual temple surrounded by the city’s most luxurious district. If you’re not particularly interested in temples, your guide can suggest an alternative stop.

   · 1 h

5. Starfield Library

   (For the layover tour, it can be replaced in case of heavy traffic) This stunning library, famous on social media, holds over 50,000 books — a perfect place for beautiful photos. If you prefer, this stop can be replaced with a visit to a traditional Korean village instead.

   · 30 min

6. Kwangjang Market

   We’ll visit a lively traditional market together and discover authentic Korean food and culture. Your guide will explain the history of the market and introduce you to local specialties. We’ll try some delicious snacks together — pancakes, street food, and more! And don’t miss the famous “knife noodle” vendor featured on Netflix, known as the “Netflix Antie.”

   · 1 h 30 min

7. N Seoul Tower

   Your guide will take you up the mountain to the tower, explain the history of the site, and help you take amazing pictures.

Let’s enjoy the beautiful panoramic view of Seoul together!
