09:00  Hotel Pickup

Your driver meets you at your hotel lobby with a welcome sign. Step into your comfortable premium van (Hyundai Staria) where cold water, juice, and a city map await. Your driver will explain today's adventure as you head to your first destination.

 09:30-12:00 Built in 1395, this is Korea's largest and most iconic palace. Picture this: massive wooden gates, colorful painted roofs, and throne halls where kings once made history. Don't miss the Royal Guard Ceremony (10:00 AM)—soldiers in traditional armor perform a changing of the guard just like they did 600 years ago! Fun for kids: They can pose with the guards for photos!

12:00-13:00  Lunch in Samcheong-dong

This charming neighborhood is like stepping into a Korean movie set—traditional houses converted into trendy cafes and restaurants. Try Bibimbap (mixed rice with vegetables, the most famous Korean dish!) or Korean BBQ. Your driver will recommend the best spots based on your taste.

13:00-13:30  Bukchon Hanok Village | 북촌 한옥마을

Walk through narrow alleyways lined with 'Hanok'—traditional Korean houses with curved tile roofs that have stood for centuries. Real families still live here! This is the perfect spot for family photos. The contrast of old houses against Seoul's modern skyline is breathtaking.

15:30-16:00  Traditional Tea Time (Included!) | 전통 찻집 휴식 (포함!)

Rest your feet at a traditional Korean tea house. We'll treat you to your choice of Korean teas: sweet Jujube tea (made from red dates), citrusy Yuzu tea, or classic green tea—served with traditional Korean sweets called 'Hangwa.'

16:00-17:30  Insadong - Art & Craft Street | 인사동 - 예술의 거리

Korea's most famous traditional street! Browse handmade crafts, try street snacks like Hotteok (sweet Korean pancakes), and find unique souvenirs. Don't miss Ssamziegil—a quirky spiral-shaped building filled with artist shops. Everything here must have Korean-language signs (even Starbucks!).

17:30-18:30  Deoksugung Stone Wall Road | 덕수궁 돌담길

End your royal journey with a peaceful walk along Seoul's most romantic road. The ancient stone walls of Deoksugung Palace on one side, modern city on the other—it's like walking between two worlds. This is where Korean couples come to hold hands at sunset.

  18:30-19:00  Return to Hotel + Gift! | 호텔 복귀 + 기념품 선물!

We'll drop you back at your hotel, rested and full of memories. As a thank you, we'll give you a traditional Korean gift: a beautiful hand mirror or bookmark set decorated with traditional Korean patterns.
