Dressed in traditional hanbok, we’ll enter Changdeokgung Palace, one of the most well-preserved royal residences from the Joseon Dynasty. Your guide will lead you through the graceful courtyards, and palace gates, sharing fascinating stories of kings and queens who once walked the same paths. You’ll learn about the dynasty’s rise, court ceremonies, secret love stories, and political intrigue — all brought to life through storytelling. The architectural beauty of the palace, with its blend of natural surroundings and elegant structures, is a testament to Korea’s appreciation for harmony with nature. You’ll have plenty of time to take beautiful photos, ask questions, and feel the atmosphere of a place that once held royal power and family life.

Secret Garden
The highlight of the tour is the Secret Garden, or Huwon — a place so tranquil and protected that it was once off-limits to all but royalty. You’ll follow your Palace guide(if unavailable your guide) into a breathtaking landscape filled with forested trails, lotus ponds, stone steps, and centuries-old pavilions. Each stop in the garden has a story: from hidden resting spots for the king, to poetic gathering spaces for scholars. We’ll walk slowly, allowing you to fully absorb the peaceful atmosphere, hear the wind through the trees, and admire the seasonal beauty. Whether you visit during cherry blossom season, in the lush green of summer, or among the golden leaves of autumn, the garden always feels magical. If the weather is too hot, we can remove the hanbok here so you can explore in comfort before entering the garden.

Ikseon-dong Hanok Street
After exploring the beautiful grounds of Changdeokgung Palace, we’ll return the hanbok and take a short walk to Ikseon-dong, one of Seoul’s most charming and trendy hanok neighborhoods. Here, traditional Korean houses meet modern culture, creating a unique atmosphere full of hidden cafes, boutique shops, and artistic corners. We’ll relax at a cozy café where you can enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and chat with your guide about Korean culture, daily life, food, and any curiosities you have. It’s a peaceful, personal way to end the tour—off the beaten path, yet rich with local flavor and modern tradition.
