Description:

Immerse yourself in the ancient Joseon Dynasty atmosphere at Bukchon Hanok Village on this full-day tour. Visit the charming presidential residence, join a walking tour at Bukchon Hanok Village, learn about Korean history at Tteok Museum, and see historical statues at Gwanghwamun Square.

As your tour passes the official residence of the president of the Republic of Korea, marvel at the blue-tinted granite roof which earned the building's nickname, “Blue House.” Next, get a glimpse of the culture and heritage of ancient Seoul at Bukchon Hanok Village. Walk through the narrow streets of Bukchon and Samcheongdong-gil alley and wonder at the more than 600-year-old buildings from the Joseon Dynasty.

Savor a Korean lunch at a local restaurant and then stop at a tea house in Insa-dong for a chance to shop or a delightful tea tasting opportunity. Continue to the Tteok Museum which displays a range of old Korean kitchen utensils, tteok (rice cake), and related items.

At Gwanghwamun Square, admire historical sights such as the Yukjo-geori as well as statues of King Sejong and Admiral Yi Sun-Shin of the Joseon Dynasty. Then as you drive along the Cheonggyecheon Stream, spot more than 20 charming bridges, each with a different architectural style, that cross the river. On your way back, stop at the Amethyst Factory and a duty-free shop to purchase mementos to bring home.
