What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"First time we (mom and daughter) have done a tour and first time with on the go tours. What a special trip we had doing the 13 day Casablanca to Essaouira Morocco tour (26 Nov - 6 Dec 2023). We started the first 8 days doing the totally Morocco tour and the last few days at our own pace with down time in Essaouira. Jamal our guide led the tour from start to finish and took us safely on a culture filled journey. His knowledge of the country, it’s history and people was informative and inspiring. Every request was “no problem” and delivered with a smile and happy demeanour. Everything in Morrocco was “no problem” and we felt safe and looked after. We were driven in a comfortable coach with enough stops along the way to not feel long by our competent driver Suleman. The hotels, Riad and Dar were extremely comfortable with exceptional service. We would not have had the same experience travelling on our own, we felt as though we truly experienced Morocco. Everything was a highlight for us and we will definitely book another on the go tour in the future. If you wanting to see true Morocco we would strongly recommend doing this tour."

What travelers are saying

"We have loved Gate 1 and always sing their praises. We've been on 7 tours with another one booked for fall. We were supposed to leave for Ecuador this week, however the country is in a 60 day state of emergency with the escape of 2 infamous gang members. Tourists are advised to stay indoors and there is a daily curfew from 11pm-5am. (our flight was to land at 11:15pm). Our trip included stays in 2 of the main cities of unrest. There have been shootings, car bombings, hostage taking, closing of embassies, and other countries issuing do not travel warnings. Other tour companies have cancelled tours or offered refunds or rescheduling. Travel insurance does not cover wars or civil unrest, but we are clearly afraid to go there. Both we and our travel agent have reached out multiple times with our concerns and asked if we could reschedule or get some sort of credit. We continue to get the same reply either in person or via email...Gate 1 has your safety as our highest priority and we feel you are safe ("they are not targeting tourists") and your itinerary should not be impacted. What? Their highest priority is $ and not our safety. There is no way that's the tour we anticipated. We cancelled the trip and took a 90% penalty, loss of deposit, and $276 airline penalty. It's a LOT of money, but we would have been terrified, and it's not worth getting hurt or worse. Sorry, but it's not the company I want to do business with in the future."

"Hello , first there is no airport transfer at all as they mentioned in the trip program , no one waited us at the airport as they mentioned that we should provide them with the flight schedule but unfortunately they neglected this service for arrivals and for departures as well , the level of the hotel in Lyon is under expected maybe 2 stars , the hotels are somewhat away from the city center which makes the transportation for the clients cost more and waste of time , the guide was very quick in her steps without even looking at the families and children and not being able to follow her . Rather , she was even quick to finish the designated program , such as presenting a program that was supposed to be for tomorrow and presenting it without justification , making one day crowded with her program and the second day on the contrary i.e there may be only one visit as it happened in changing visiting Eifel tower although it was late afternoon and the line was so crowded that took around 2 hours waited in line in order to gets tickets for the whole group while it was supposed to be on the 2nd day with scène river cruise , the stoppage in some cities as Geneva needs more than only 2 hours time while stoppage in between the cities in the rural area needs less than that time gave it to us .no flexibility in changing the program after booking even for a more advanced and valued trips ( changing not cancelling ) , it must be a meeting prepared for the group in a lobby of the hotel the night before or even if 1 hour before getting into the buses as a type of acquaintance and introduction between the members of the group ."

Seoul Tour Selection Trips

  • Most tours will tie in with other destinations around the country, but there are certain tours that focus only on Seoul.

    Because food is such a huge part of Korean culture, the food tour could be a good choice if you have an interest in gastronomy. But be aware that most dishes will be a little spicy.

    Tours are generally focused on a cultural experience, meaning they’ll spend more time exploring historical sites, landmarks, palaces, and the like.

    You will be given free time by most tour companies to do the exploring in the modern areas of Seoul by yourself.

    Most Seoul tours run under Tours4Fun, which is a Mandarin-speaking tour company. Be prepared to do most sightseeing yourself, although they will provide you with the transportation and accomodation.


Additional details

What You Should Know Before Going on a Seoul Tour

Many tours will combine Seoul with other cities. Those with tours focused mainly on Seoul will give you time to really know the city. Tour guides will focus on giving you guidance through important landmarks such as Gyeongbokgung Palace, or the Bukchon Hanok Village.

Many other areas of the city are left for you to explore on your own.

Common Tour Lengths

Tours around Seoul are commonly between 1 to 3 days. Shorter tours will allow you to see the important highlights of the city, while longer ones will give you time to see many different areas that are less known.

Physical Level Requirements

Most tours require minimal to moderate physical levels. At the minimum, being able to leisurely walk around for an hour or two is important in order to wander around the city.

Who Will Enjoy Seoul Tours

Those who love shopping, culture, history, and food will definitely enjoy Seoul tours. The city has so much to offer and going on a Seoul tour will ensure that you get the transportation and advice needed for everything.

Commonly Combined With

Seoul tours are commonly combined with other cities in South Korea for a well-rounded trip around the country. It is also often combined with tours to China and Japan.
