About This Tour

Most visitors experience Seoul from street level.

This private hike offers a different perspective — where mountains, fortress walls, royal palaces and Seoul’s geography reveal how the capital developed over centuries.

Walk along sections of the Seoul Fortress Wall, explore stories connected to old Seoul and enjoy panoramic viewpoints overlooking royal palaces, surrounding mountains and the modern city.

This experience is designed for travelers who want to explore Seoul’s history, landscape and mountain views in a more personal setting with their own group.
