About This Tour
WHAT YOU’LL DO With one of our hosts by your side, you’ll take to the streets for half a day, discovering this modern capital’s traditional heart. Take in iconic sights like the Dongdaemun Design Plaza, sip on soju (a vodka-like drink) with your host and nibble on a few snacks in a street tent bar, or get your pop-culture kicks in the neighborhood of Gangnam. Whatever you’d like from your day, your wish is our command. Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
