There is a standard itinerary for this tour, but it is completely flexible on the number and nature of the sites visited. On offer are the best sights of Seoul's historic downtown area. It all depends on where I pick you up and drop you off, and just what you want to see and do. Possibilities include Seoul's best palaces, Buddhist temples, Christian churches, Shamanic or Taoist shrines, museums, historic buildings & monuments, traditional neighborhoods, restaurants & tea-shops, and so-on. On this system I also offer 6-hour & 8/9-hour versions of this tour; you can choose (this is the 3-4-hour one). If you want something other than that, a custom-designed tour could be created to suit your desires.
This is my standard and very popular Itinerary for this 3~4 hour tour: it can be adjusted for individual preferences. Its intention is to be a fascinating orientation & overview of Seoul "old & new", with introduction to who the Koreans are, and the key points of their history and customs. Old & New City Hall, intro to the scale and feng-shui (geomancy) of old Hanyang Restored Cheonggye-cheon Stream Seoul Plaza historical monument sights Gyeongbok-gung Main Royal Palace Folklore & Shamanism artifacts at palace rear-exit -- a great contrast to palace We can move faster and see more, or take our time (for photos & viewing) and see a bit fewer sites; it's all up to your personal style. I will be telling colorful stories from academic sources all along the way, about pre-modern kings & heroes, and recent presidents and activists, and socio-cultural issues. You will learn so much, and in context!!
