What to expect

Jogyesa Temple
The Jogyesa Buddhist Temple is one of the most important landmarks of Korean Buddhism, first established all the way back in 1935. The temple is in downtown Seoul and is graced by an ancient white pine tree. 20 minutes

Gyeongbokgung Palace
You will be able to walk its magnificent premises and imagine what it was like to be a royal. Some of the highlights here are Gangnyeongjeon, the king’s main quarters, Geunjeongjeon where the king accepted formal visits, and Gyeonghoeru, the special banquet hall, and more! 1 hour

The Blue House (Pass by and photo time)
The Blue House is the residence of the Korean President and the most beautiful government building in the Jongno District of Seoul. In fact, the Blue House is a collection of buildings that are designed according to a traditional Korean fashion with some modern elements added. The mountain background is simply stunning, as the structure sits upon the royal garden of the Joseon Dynasty! On our Seoul City Tour, you will have the opportunity to walk around its perimeter and take photos. (We will have photo time in front of The Blue House only. No entrance included as this is a government building.)
