Korea Tourism Organization unveils Seoul guided tours
Every Friday and Saturday until May 25, a group of 30 people can join each walking tour. The tour costs 10,000 won ($8.80) a person and will be available on a first come, first serve basis. The tour starts from K-Style Hub, the Korea Tourism Organization’s Seoul office by the Cheonggye Stream in central Seoul. The Friday course is designed for those who want to take photos around Jogye Temple, which has been decorated to celebrate Buddha’s Birthday on May 12. They will also visit hanok, traditional Korean homes, before ending at the Blue House’s Sarangchae. Friday’s tour leaves at 1 p.m.
Saturday’s tour starts at 11 a.m. and will take visitors to Gyeongbok Palace after a traditional Korean lunch. A professional guide will tell fun stories about Korean history as it takes people to the Blue House to finish the tour at 4 p.m.
