SEOUL SHORE EXCURSION FROM INCHEON PORT: GYEONGBOKGUNG PALACE, HANOK VILLAGE & INSADONG

Ships for Seoul dock at Incheon, about an hour from central Seoul, longer in rush hour. A Seoul day is around 9 hours.

The route

• Gyeongbokgung Palace, the biggest of Seoul's palaces, with the changing of the guard at the gate on most days. The palace is closed on Tuesdays; on a Tuesday we go to Changdeokgung instead.
• Bukchon Hanok Village, lanes of traditional wooden houses where people still live. Please keep voices low; there are visiting hours.
• Insadong for lunch, tea houses and craft shops.
• N Seoul Tower on Namsan hill for the view over the city, if time allows.

If your ship stays overnight, we can do a long day to Nami Island and Petite France instead, or a walk through Seoul's old streets with the stories behind them.

How these shore excursions work

• Private tour for your group only, from a few people in a van up to a full coach.
• An English-speaking local guide meets you at the cruise terminal (or at the tender pier if your ship anchors).
• We plan the day around your ship's times and bring you back well before all-aboard.
• Send us your ship name, port date and docking hours, and we fit the route to them.

Included

• English-speaking local guide
• Private vehicle with driver
• Entrance tickets and boat rides in the route you choose

Not included

• Lunch and drinks, unless we agree on a lunch stop in the price
• Tips for the guide and driver

Price

The price per person depends on your group size and the route. Tell us your ship, date and number of people and we will send a plan and a price.
