Itinerary
You will be in Seoul around 12:20 pm, depart to Korean Folk Village, with comfortable transportation and your knowledgeable tour guide. The trip takes about an hour from Seoul.
Since its foundation in 1974, the village has been loved as a tourist destination. Here you will find authentic Korean traditional houses which have been relocated and reconstructed from different parts of Korea. You can also enjoy Korean traditional performances, such as Korean farmer's music and dancing and acrobatic tightrope walking (except on rainy days). The Korean Folk Village is also home to numerous collections of Korean cultural artifacts, and provides visitors an opportunity to experience and learn about Korean culture firsthand. The site promotes traditional Korean culture to both domestic and international visitors, and provides an open-air learning place for the generations to come. In addition, it has been used as a filming location for many Korean TV shows, and is therefore a very popular tour destination for both domestic as well as international tourists. Take lots of pictures at the Korean Folk Village and to remember your beautiful stay in Korea!
After your visit, you will be dropped off at the Myeongdong Station.

Traveler reviews
An interesting and fun afternoon for kids and adults
We loved this tour! Our tour guide Hee Soo was really well organized and showed us around the place, making sure we have time to see the parts that interested our kids the most and catch the performances. She also gave us interesting insights into old Korean traditions and modern life, and guided us what traditional snacks to get and where. All in all, we had an amazing experience as a whole family. Thank you Hee Soo!
