Your guide will share Korea’s division history and stories of the divided peninsula, giving you a deeper understanding of the country's past. After lunch, visit the UNESCO-listed Joseon Royal Tombs, where traditional royal ceremonies are still performed annually by the royal descendants. Unlike crowded palaces, these tombs offer a peaceful and private atmosphere, allowing you to experience Korea’s rich history in a calm and reflective setting. You can choose to visit either a vintage café, converted from a weaving factory, or a former military base that once protected Seoul against spies, both of which offer meaningful insights into Korea’s social, economic, and security history.

Enjoy an exclusive opportunity to communicate directly with soldiers on site. This unforgettable journey offers a rare chance to see the heavily guarded frontlines and understand Korea’s division firsthand—far from typical tourist crowds. And the best part? You can go on Mondays, too!

Private Transportation (Pick up and drop off from Hotel) Licensed Guide(Driver) Semi-photo grapher(Optional) If you would like to travel around Seoul, we highly recommend a trip to Nami Island. This place is a famous filming location for the K-drama of "Winter Sonata". So, many foreign tourists visit to see "First Kiss Place(Actor & Actress)" and like scenes from dramas, many couples actually take pictures of themselves kissing. (Although the couples who have been married for over 30 years) Nami Island is also a great place for families to take pictures while enjoying nature on a walk or bike ride. Especially, during the winter season, bonfires are lit along the way in the middle of the road for travelers to take a break from the cold weather. During maple season(Sep & Oct) and Cherry blossom season (Mar & Apr), because there are many maple, Ginkgo(no smell), and cherry blossom trees, we recommend taking photos of the beautiful scenery in the spring and fall seasons.

You can enjoy seeing the Korean Serak Mountain, a national park listed by UNESCO. To go to the top of the mountain, you can take a cable car to the peak of Gwongeumseong and see the beautiful scenery such as snow, the changing of leaves color, and the sea during different seasons. On the way to the entrance to Serak National Park, you can see cherry blossoms during the spring season. You may feel in heaven and enjoy the snowing cherry blossom as well(It seems the falling cherry blossom' flower is snowing). This is a private tour. So, you can make an unforgettable memory with your family, and friends.
