Seoul Tour Selection Trips
-
Most tours will tie in with other destinations around the country, but there are certain tours that focus only on Seoul.
Because food is such a huge part of Korean culture, the food tour could be a good choice if you have an interest in gastronomy. But be aware that most dishes will be a little spicy.
Tours are generally focused on a cultural experience, meaning they’ll spend more time exploring historical sites, landmarks, palaces, and the like.
You will be given free time by most tour companies to do the exploring in the modern areas of Seoul by yourself.
Most Seoul tours run under Tours4Fun, which is a Mandarin-speaking tour company. Be prepared to do most sightseeing yourself, although they will provide you with the transportation and accomodation.
