Whenever I take hop on hop off tours, my main intent is to use them as a method to get from point A to point B without getting lost (my usual method) and seeing more of the city than if I was walking; that being said, I don't worry too much about the commentary available. I like to walk, but Seoul is a car friendly city, and I don't think I could have walked to all of the sights I wanted to in one day, and it was cheaper than multiple taxis. There are three routes available, and I did buy the two day ticket that allowed me to take more than one route. I was mostly interested in the Palace route, which includes the three palaces, the War Memorial of Korea, Hanok Village and N Seoul Tower. Logistically, the ticket process can be confusing or at least not as easy as you would think. You can pre-purchase the ticket online, but you have to take that voucher to the kiosk and turn it in for a ticket, which means you cannot just hop on the bus if there is a stop near your hotel. A couple of times the drivers looked at my ticket and looked confused, but still let me on, but I didn't understand why they were confused, it couldn't have been the first time they saw that type of ticket, could it? I didn't have any of the issues that some other reviewers had, but I can understand some of the frustration. So, I would recommend using the bus as a way to see a large city and a lot of its sights without trying to navigate on your own.

We had a wonderful time doing the Seoul Street Food Tour with Julian this past weekend. He showed us lots of great spots to try both in Namdaemun and on the way to Insa-dong. Julian also showed us some palaces, temples and museums in the area. It was a great day and we learned a lot about Seoul. We highly recommend the tour and picking Julian as a tour guide!

About a 1-hour drive from Seoul, we will arrive at Imjingak Park. The Imjingak park, located at 50km northwest of Seoul, was built for 5 million people who had lost their homes. Major facilities include the North Hall where you can get a view of the North Korean lifestyle. Imjingak Park was built in 1972 with the hope that someday unification would be possible. Through this park, vistors can see over 400 photos and documents showing the stark reality of North Korea. The next place is Odusan Unification Observatory, this observatory located in the northernmost ceasefire line of the western front where Hangang river and Imjingang river meet. Before back to hotel, we enjoy the Seoul city view at the landmark of Seoul - N Seoul Tower.

Inclusions: Hotel pickup and drop-off, Transport by private vehicle, English speaking driver/guide, Entrance fees

Exclusions: Observatory and cable car of N Seoul Tower (optional), Food and drinks, Gratuities

Justin was our guide for this tour and he was wonderful! My friends and I have actually lived in Korea for a year and a half and we were not your average group of tour guidees. However, despite this Justin did a fantastic job showing us areas of Seoul that we wouldn't have seen on our own, and was lovely to be around. He made alterations to the schedule to better fit what we were looking for, and was extremely kind and considerate. He did a really good job at making the tour a great experience for us and I really appreciate the kindness he showed us throughout the day. I cannot recommend him enough. We started off by going to Iryeong station and taking lots of pictures there. Other highlights include Yujeong Restaurant and the old Big Hit Entertainment building, where we added a message to the huge amount of fan graffiti on the abandoned building. We then visited k-star road, all the figures for all the different groups were interesting to see. The highlight was being able to see the abandoned swimming pool in the same day, that really was a fantastic way to end the trip: surrounded the cherry blossoms in the Korean spring time while also enjoying taking pictures at the pool was a memory I wont forget. We were also given a folder full of wonderful pictures that were taken throughout the day, and my friends and I had a great time looking through them afterwards. They were high quality and Justin was extremely professional in taking them and also sending them over to us so quickly. I would highly recommend this tour, it is worth the money and I would recommend it for people who are looking to get a bit more of a personal approach to exploring that side of Seoul.
