Gyeongbokgung Palace
Continue to Gyeongbokgung Palace, which was the primary residence of the royal family in the Joseon Dynasty.

Jogyesa Temple
Finally, head to Jogyesa Temple, the leading temple for Zen Buddhism in Korea. On your visit, you’ll get an authentic sense of Buddhism’s role during the Joseon Dynasty, and witness first-hand how this place provides a calm sanctuary for locals from the busy streets of Seoul.

Fantastic Tour!

Katie was a fantastic tour guide and knew her information. She was always accommodating towards taking pictures for guests and even recommending hidden gems to check out after the tour. We had a blast and got to see/understand a good amount of Korea's culture/historical background!
Highly recommended

The tour was wonderful. It was the very first time that I've visited Korea with my family. I was so surprised that there were huge palaces in the center of Seul, and our tour guide Claire explained everything I was curious about. She was so nice and very knowledgeable.. I wish we had more time to explore Korea... Hope to go back to Korea in near future and learn about the country more!!! The tour was short but excellent!!
Heritages of Korea History

If you want to step in Korean history, then the palaces visits are the must!!! You can spend all one day at only Gyeongbokgung palace and even have not understand the time passing. The best time to visit is the 10 AM and 2 PM everyday (except Tuesdays), the time of changing guard of Gwanghwamun gate. This is an event which is must to see!!!
Really enjoyed
Well worth...
