5.00I had an amazing time on the tour! Our guide grew up in the neighborhood and it really showed, he shared so many fun facts, personal stories, and local insights that brought the area to life. The tour was engaging from start to finish, and I walked away with a much deeper appreciation for Bukchon’s history and culture. Highly recommend!

5.00Dong was a wonderful guide, we had a great experience! I highly recommend this tour! He lived in Bukchon as a child, so he has knowledge and personal experience that other guides might not have.
Fantastic tour from a storyteller who grew up in the neighborhood

5.00Dong's tour was incredible. We loved all the historical insights and Korean cultural references that he walked us through. Dong's tour was very special since he grew up in the neighborhood; I feel like he could give us much more context than other tour guides. He told us about local stories and history that could only be explained by growing up in the neighborhood. Also, he would say things about the historical significance of a building and then in the same breath, point out that his best friend grew up in that other house; it was so cute. I do not think you could book a better tour guide for the neighborhood.
Bukchon with a real one

5.00Dong was an amazing guide in Bukchon today. His vast knowledge of the area - he grew up in Bukchon - coupled with his enthusiasm for the culture makes this a must see tour. We toured palaces and listened to not only historical knowledge of the Joseon period but Dong was able to deliver specific tales of the daily life of the palace itself. It pays to have a guide with this experience. Do yourself a favor and choose the craft option as well for this tour. I was able to make a “Hopae” with a local artisan and now - if I’m ever thrown back to the Joseon Dynasty, like in the K-Drama “Mr. Queen” - have proper identification. 😁 Thanks again, Dong, for an informative tour of your neighborhood.
Excellent Day

5.00We had an excellent time with our guide showing us Bukchon and the surrounding area. We loved making the traditional Hopae tags and learning about his time growing up in the town.

5.00This tour was a valuable opportunity to speak with someone who personally grew up in the area in the not-too-distant past. Dong has a wealth of first-hand knowledge and anecdotes about what the neighborhood was like (before its relatively recent transformation into a popular tourist destination) and the dramatic changes that have occurred over the years. Would recommend booking this excursion if you're interested in digging deeper into the history, culture and daily life of the area.

5.00Dong was an excellent guide! Extremely knowledgable and personable. It really was a "hidden" tour that included much quieter (and still important) features in Bukchon.

5.00What a fantastic walking tour of Bukchon! Without our guide, Dong, I would’ve totally missed out on the fascinating stories and hidden gems behind the traditional architecture. His insights brought the neighborhood to life in a way that made every alley feel like a time machine. If I get the chance, I’d love to come back on my own, soak in the atmosphere, and enjoy a quiet cup of tea somewhere in this beautiful place.
