Gyeongbokgung Palace

Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung Palace is also commonly referred to as the Northern Palace because its location is furthest north when compared to the neighboring palaces of Changdeokgung (Eastern Palace) and Gyeonghuigung (Western Palace) Palace. Gyeongbokgung Palace is arguably the most beautiful, and remains the largest of all five palaces. The premises were once destroyed by fire during the Imjin War (Japanese Invasions, 1592-1598). However, all of the palace buildings were later restored under the leadership of Heungseondaewongun during the reign of King Gojong (1852-1919). Remarkably, the most representative edifices of the Joseon Dynasty, Gyeonghoeru Pavilion and Hyangwonjeong Pond have remained relatively intact. Woldae and the sculptures of Geunjeongjeon (The Royal Audience Chamber) represent past sculptures of contemporary art. The National Palace Museum of Korea is located south of Heungnyemun Gate, and the National Folk Museum is located on the eastern side within Hyangwonjeong.

It was a cold day, but Chris arranged the city tour very well and shared a lot of interesting historical insights along the way. He was attentive throughout the tour, offered hand and foot warmers, and kept checking that I was comfortable. When he learned that I am interested in art and painting, he also showed me some lovely galleries, which I really appreciated. He additionally helped me with some Korean language insights. Overall, Chris clearly cares about his guests and puts a lot of effort into making the experience smooth and enjoyable. And most importantly a lot of facts about Korean history. I would certainly recommend Chris to others when visiting Seoul.

Chris was an outstanding guide for our Seoul tour. He was punctual, communicative, and incredibly knowledgeable about Korean history and culture. His expertise really brought Gyeongbokgung Palace and the other sites to life over two days. The itinerary was well-paced, and his minivan made traveling between locations easy and comfortable in the cold weather. Chris was also flexible with our itinerary, accommodating our request to visit Ho-am Art Museum. His passion for Korea and excellent English made for an engaging and memorable experience, and a wonderful way to familiarize ourself with the local culture.
Chris is the best, especially for history buffs!

We had a 10 hour layover in Seoul during our Asian journey from the US. Chris picked us up on time at the airport and took us on a tour of Seoul. I love history however I know very little about this part of the world, especially pre WWII. We spent most of our time at the Gyeongbokgung Palace learning about the history of Korea pre WWII. Was a great day, Chris is a wealth of knowledge. We enjoyed it so much that on our return trip we did a tour with him to the DMZ.

We learned so much from our guide , Chris. We had very little knowledge of Seoul and Chris helped us to appreciate the history, traditions and customs of Korea. He is a very learned guide with excellent English and a pride for his country that he passionately shares.

Chris Lee was a fantastic guide, very helpful and prepared. We visited all the most important historical places, he told me the highlights of Korean history, but in the meantime he updated me on contemporary topics as well. He understood perfectly what I wanted to see and even suggested places I had not planned, such as a delicious family restaurant to eat local cooked express dishes. As soon as I have the opportunity I will contact him to make another visit to the city in other areas. He drives his comfortable and spacious minivan carefully, which can accommodate even more people.
Superb City tour with a great knowledgeable guide

Chris H. was our tour guide and also our driver. I believe he is an independent tour operator and has been doing these Seoul city tours for many years. He was totally professional and super knowledgeable. He arrived at our hotel early and picked us up in his large air conditioned van. He was an excellent driver and gave us all sorts of information about Seoul, S. Korea, and every one of the sites we visited. He had a lot of knowledge and adapted the itinerary based on time and traffic and our preferences. I felt like he just really knew what he was doing and enjoyed his job. I liked that he addressed both my husband and I and our two young adult (collegiate) daughters and our teen son, even though they are all young enough to still be called "kids". He engaged our entire group. He also knew how to take good pictures! I am surprised that so many tour guides have not mastered the art of taking pictures for their clients. Doing a private tour is the way to go! We got so much done in one day and hit all the "must sees". Possibly this pace is too fast for some who prefer to linger at each spot, but we prefer to get a good overview of the city and then choose later if we want to return anywhere. We would never have been able to see all of this and get all of this information on our own or with a large bus group tour. And with a group of at least 4 or 5, the price per person is nearly the same as with a group tour, so it is totally worth the money. 5/5 stars, I would totally recommend this tour to anyone coming to Seoul for the first or tenth time!
