Tour Introduction
Before Gangnam became the modern "Beverly Hills" of Korea, there was Bukchon—the original home of the Joseon Dynasty's nobility. This tour is not just about looking at traditional houses from the outside; it is a journey into the lifestyle, clothing, and housing of the 'Yangban' (nobles). You will hear the untold story of "Jeonse" (Korea's unique rental system), which originated here as a survival strategy for Koreans during the Japanese colonial era. We guide you through a pleasant, crowd-free route to capture the best photos and truly feel the atmosphere of the Hanok village. Unlike typical tours, we actually step inside two real Hanoks to experience their unique architectural structure. The journey ends with the story of tea and alcohol—the exclusive enjoyments of the nobility—accompanied by a tasting of Korea's master artisan tea.

Alan è stato una guida veramente perfetta. Ci ha spiegato la storia del villaggio di Bukchon Hanok e mostrato il villaggio e l’interno delle tipiche case con entusiasmo e grande cortesia. Ci ha anche portato in una bella casa del tè ed offerto tè e dolcetti. Tutto senza fretta ed è anche un bravo fotografo! Grazie mille per un pomeriggio veramente piacevole
