Overview
This tour is designed for passengers arriving in South Korea through the Incheon Cruise Terminal. Starting from the terminal, the itinerary takes you to Seoul's top attractions and brings you back to the cruise ship at Incheon Port. We take you from the grand Royal Guard Changing Ceremony at Gyeongbokgung Palace to the charming alleys of Bukchon Hanok Village. Conclude your journey at Gwangjang Market, where you can immerse yourself in local life and Korea’s famous street food culture. Please note that as Gyeongbokgung is closed on Tuesdays, we will explore an equally stunning alternative site to ensure a complete and fulfilling experience. In case of extreme traffic or local conditions, the itinerary may be adjusted to explore Incheon's top attractions instead of Seoul.

Gwangjang Market was the first permanent market in Korea and continues to thrive as a popular tourist destination today. The name Gwangjang means "to gather from afar and keep altogether." The market began as a small trading center that brought in goods from nearby regions, but has now grown into a large wholesale market selling a variety of goods, including upholstery, imported goods, groceries, dried fish, traditional goods, and more. The most popular section of the market is the food street connected to the East Gate, North Gate 2, and South Gate 1. The food street caters to a wide range of patrons due to the plethora of menus available. It is also one of the most recommended tourist attraction for international travelers. The tourist attraction may be changed or unavailable on the day at the guide's discretion.
