Overview of your Seoul tour

Seoul has been the capital of the dynasties [Baekje(BC18-475), Joseon(1392-1919 or 1945)] and the Republic of Korea(1945-present). It has been called as "Hanseong", "Hanyang", "Seoul" as time goes by. Seoul is such a dynamic city with the contrast and harmony of old and new. I will show you all beautiful highlights of Seoul with Kevin’s rich story telling matured from the Tourism University of Gyeonggi where I got Bachelor’s degree. I will explain how this small country became wonderful, safe and peaceful since thousands years ago, how the philosophy is consistent for thousands years. Let's kick it off with Kevin. And you and your family will cherish my tour for many years. Let me pick you up at your hotel and show you all the best sights of Seoul. ♡ Under 19 and over 64, bring all your passports. ♡ Dress code: comfortable walking shoes ♡ Let me know in advance if you want Hanbok experience :)
