About This Tour
I launched the Bukchon Storytelling Tour in February 2025, and I’ve been grateful for the amazing support from guests worldwide. Now, I’m offering my final tour sale of the year. Please note: the tour may be canceled if fewer than 2 guests join. Get ready… the alleys have been waiting to tell you their secrets. Launched in February 2025, this walking tour takes you through Bukchon, the heart of Korean politics, economy, and culture from 1392 AD to the 1980s. Guided by a storyteller born and raised in Bukchon—now a filmmaker and university screenwriting professor—you’ll explore the rich layers of Seoul’s history on foot. This tour is strongly recommended for participants aged 12 and above, to ensure the best possible experience for all guests.
