Your tour will begin in Seoul, the vibrant capital city of South Korea. After meeting your tour guide and fellow travelers, you’ll set out for an exciting day of exploration and discovery.  

The first stop of the day is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, located in the city of Suwon, just south of Seoul. This magnificent fortress was built during the late 18th century by King Jeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty as a defensive fortification. As you approach the fortress walls, you’ll be awestruck by their imposing size and well-preserved condition. Walk along the ancient walls and learn about the historical significance of this remarkable architectural masterpiece.  

Next, you’ll visit Hwaseong Haenggung, a fortified palace complex. This palace served as a temporary residence for the Joseon kings and their entourage during their travels outside the capital. Admire the beautiful traditional architecture and imagine the grandeur of royal life during the Joseon Dynasty.  

Your knowledgeable guide will provide insights into the palace’s history and the important events that took place here. If you choose a full day tour, you will have lunch time(with your own expenses). After having lunch time, you will visit Korean Folk Village in Yongin. It introduces traditional culture from the late Joseon period to both local and international visitors through cultural classes experience, shaman faith, seasonal customs and others.  

It recreated the past through the restoration of houses from the Joseon dynasty. Performances including nongak (farmer’s music), martial arts on horseback, traditional wedding ceremony, and other special events are available by season. At the end of the tour you’ll return to Seoul and be dropped off in the Myeongdong area.
