Step 1

Pick up from your hotel in Seoul at 08:00am and Head to Suwon in Gyeonggi-do province. First visit to Suwon Hwaseong Fortress is an impressive structure from the latter part of the Joseon Dynasty, and the official fortress of Suwon, Gyeonggi-do. Constructed from 1794 to 1796, it was built as a display of King Jeongjo’s filial piety towards his father and to build a new pioneer city with its own economic power.

The fortress wall hosts a great variety of military facilities that are hard to be found anywhere else. During the construction, scholar Jeong Yak-Yong invented ‘Geojunggi,’ which uses a lever to lift up heavy stones, greatly reducing time.

We had a fantastic day in Incheon, discovering Seoul’s must-see spots with a local guide who tailored the experience to our interests. While we loved the personalized touch, we did wish we had a bit more time at Gyeongbokgung Palace to soak in its history.

Exploring Seoul with a local guide felt like I was seeing the city through a friend’s eyes. I loved how customizable the experience was; I even had the chance to visit a hidden gem of a tea house that I would have never found on my own. The only downside was that some of the popular spots felt rushed, but overall, it was a fantastic way to dive into the culture and highlights of the area.
