Seoul: City Hightlights, Palace Tour, and Optional Hanbok

1.City Hightlights, Palace Tour, and Optional Hanbok

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 664 reviews · from $55Our pick

Hanbok and palaces in Seoul: Gyeongbokgung, Changing of the Guard, Bukchon Hanok Village, snacks, and Baek In-je’s House in 4 hours.

“We highly recommend our tour guide, Thomas. Speaks English well as he lived in the U.S and Europe. He was deeply knowledgeable about the different buildings and structures inside the palace. The palace is huge so wear comfortable shoes. Thomas said that renting/wearing a Hanbok affords you re-entry privileges into the palace. He will also offer to take your family photos at significant spots. Make sure to bring water with you as it gets hot under the hanbok and the palace does not have a lot of shade. Overall it was a great experience with my family.”

“Unforgettable Cultural & Photography Experience! This tour completely exceeded our expectations! We had two wonderful guides—James was an expert in the local history and culture, and his colleague was a professional photographer who captured stunning moments throughout the day. Getting to wear a traditional hanbok added such a beautiful and authentic touch to the experience. Our history guide was not only knowledgeable and informative, but also very engaging and fun. The photographer made us feel totally comfortable, offered great direction, and knew the perfect spots to take breathtaking photos. We left the tour with new knowledge, incredible memories, and amazing photos. This experience w...”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 79 reviews · from $7

Skip-the-line Gyeongbokgung Palace entry plus hanbok rental, free hair styling, and flexible 1.5 to 4 hour time slots in Seoul.

“There’s something about visiting their oldest palace site (yes the buildings are replicas) in a Hanbok. Wonderful experience for the family and there are muted colours for the teens and extra large sizing for the Man of the House too so everyone is happy. Along the same street there are a number of other hanbok rental places but this is the largest and possibly has the most extensive range. The experience was marred by Long queues even though we were relatively early... there is one general queue to which we returned 3 times: 1. to establish that we had the viator coupon, and exchange it for a little stub advising…”
