During this amazing full-day tour you will see some of the best sights of Seoul City and learn many fascinating things about Korean history & culture. We will use public express-trains from Sinpo Market near Incheon Port to central Seoul and back, which is faster, safer & cheaper. Your choice of a great Korean lunch will be enjoyed. I am a 35-year resident, as Professor of Korean Cultural Tourism. My specialty is the variety of traditional religions here, including Buddhism, Shamanism, Daoism, Neo-Confucianism and Christianity and I will give you an in-depth explanation of everything time allows us to see, with colorful stories and tales of Korea's dramatic 20th Century historical events and current situation. I can show you the special places that make Seoul really interesting. My price is higher because I'm a well-known expert on these things, have written many books and articles -- my clients are those who want the best descriptions, broadest viewpoint & deepest insights.
Usually, we cover the Seoul Plaza historical monument sights, Gyeongbok-gung Main Royal Palace, a great Korean Meal, the Bukchon traditional-houses alleyways, Jogye-sa Buddhist Temple (national headquarters), shopping down Insa-dong traditional-culture street, and Tap-gol Park (20th-cen Independence Movement shrines, and pagoda). There are several great options for late afternoon, if we have remaining time. We will choose the sites by your specific interests; obviously your shore-leave time is very limited, and we will make the most of it -- focusing on what you most want to see.
