Best Walking Tour to Gyeongbok Palace Bukchon Hanok Village

5.Best Walking Tour to Gyeongbok Palace Bukchon Hanok Village

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 138 reviews · from $88

Walk Seoul’s royal heart from Gwanghwamun to Gyeongbokgung and Bukchon Hanok Village with a small-group guide and palace entry included.

“We hate to write a negative review because all of our other tours in Seoul were so incredible. We had a tour guide named Paul and we ended up being the only ones on the tour. Very surprised to see all the positive reviews because we can't say we left the tour with any additional knowledge of the palace or Seoul. He rambled on a lot about topics that weren't even relevant to where we were and, paired with his lack luster attitude and monotone speaking, we were counting down the minutes until the tour was over. We were at the point where we were getting distracted/jealous of other tours…”
