Half or Day Private Tour For Cruise Incheon and Seoul City Tour

The name Gyeongbokgung contains the meaning that "the new dynasty will enjoy great fortune and prosper." The Gyeongbokgung Palace tour provides an opportunity to increase your understanding of Korean culture. In addition, Gyeongbokgung Palace offers traditional performances such as the Changing of the Royal Guard Ceremony held every day at noon, providing foreigners with a chance to experience Korean traditions vividly. Insa-dong has galleries, traditional tea houses, restaurants, street vendors, specialized shopping malls for handicrafts, antique shops, antique stores, and flower shops, so I recommend taking a walk and eating bibimbap. Take a walk along Bukcheon Hanok Village Road and feel and experience the beauty of Korean culture. Gwangjang Market is the first permanent market in our country, established in 1905. The Korean pronunciation of the name was kept the same, but the meaning of ‘widely gathering and preserving’ was added, and it became the current Gwangjang Market.

What are people saying about War Memorial of Korea

Stephanie_D, Feb 2026

10/10 private tour! This is the one you want!

Benny was an amazing guide throughout the whole experience. Easy and prompt hotel pickup and drop off. His English was perfect and he was energetic and engaged. So glad we did the private trip, as the day was able to flow at our pace. Benny offered historical facts and stories throughout the day that we would have not gotten if we went alone. So glad we booked the driver and guide as they coordinated for bus tickets and entry at each stop which made it smooth and painless. The local lunch was also delicious.

DMZ & War Memorial

We had a great tour day with Alphonso. He is very knowledgeable & provided us with much insight into the historic & ongoing relations between North & South Korea. Although the top of the observatory was closed due to current tensions, we were lucky it was a clear day so we could still see into North Korea from the second floor. We chose the War Memorial option & Alphonso guided us through the museum as well. We enjoyed our tour very much!

A Foray into Modern Korean History

A definite highlight on our Korean trip. Our guide Andrew was super knowledgable and truly enlightened our experience. He made sure we got the times we wanted and filled us in on lots of history during the drive from Seoul to the DMZ. There are a lot of things to see at the site and he gave us insight every step of the way. You can go to the DMZ on your own but our experience would have been half what it was without this tour. Transportation was nice and comfortable. Warning - it is a full day so plan accordingly.

Great historical tour in Myoungdong area

It was great. Our guide was Bonnie and I would highly recommend asking for her specifically. She was knowledgeable about the significance of each spot but also how to navigate so that we were able to make the most use of our time. We wanted a shorter 4 hour tour and this was perfect length.

We had an absolutely incredible day with our guide, BJ. He was fantastic! He has an incredible depth of knowledge about the history and geopolitical context of the Korean War and the DMZ, and we learned a lot from him. He even went out of the way to research our backgrounds to highlight parts that were relevant to our home country. His passion and expertise were just as evident at the War Memorial of Korea, where he is a docent. He guided us through the exhibits, ensuring we understood the significance of what we were seeing, which was a deeply moving and educational experience.

Great tour of the DMZ and War Memorial!

We had a wonderful day with our tour guide Alfonso (yes, not a very traditional Korean name, ask him to tell you the story). We started at 7:30 where he picked us up at our hotel and we headed over to the DMZ parking lot. We were able to get a 9:45 bus ticket so there wasn’t much idle time and he accompanied us as we visited the tunnel and observatory. We were fortunate to still make out the North Korean flag in the haze despite the crummy rainy weather, so don’t be deterred if your weather forecast is bad - you may be pleasantly surprised! Afterwards he took us to a nearby restaurant for some pork cutlet which the whole family (including our two boys ages 9 and 12) enjoyed, then we visited the War Memorial museum where he helped give context to all the displays on site. Alfonso was a terrific guide with excellent English, a curious personality, and great historical and cultural knowledge. We saw some of the other group tours while we were out and felt lucky to be on this private one instead. Even though the itinerary says War Memorial, there is flexibility to do different or other locations as well, which is great depending on your interests!
