Seoul Private and Small Group Guided Tours
Nicknamed the "Miracle on the Han," Seoul is an intoxicating fusion of the traditional and cutting edge.
This dynamic megacity traces its roots back to the days when it was a royal center for the five-century-long Joseon dynasty. In the 20th century, Seoul emerged as a world capital, catapulted by the country's explosive economic growth following the Korean War. Now a 24-hour metropolis, Seoul has become famous for its futuristic architecture, K-Pop (Korean pop music), and culinary traditions. Discover the secrets of Seoul with Context's private and small group guided tours.

Maria was engaging, very well informed as a PhD student in Korean History, and was able to bring the history of Korea and the Joseon dynasty to life. She brought a lot of positive energy and joy to the morning. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learned a lot.

Exceptional experience starting with the informative and user friendly website, ease of registration, communication before and after the tour, and of course the choice of tour guide. Hana was engaging, warm, knowledgeable, willing to share information but also her passion and love for Seoul. She wasn't rushed and took her time answering my many questions. A real pleasure.

Maria was pleasant but I don’t think we got a great sense of the story of Seoul. She had a lot of historic information but could have used more stories and enthusiasm for the culture.
