How much does a private Seoul walking tour cost for two people?
Our current totals for two guests range from US$239 to US$289, including VAT. These are prices for your whole private party, not prices per person. The comparison below reflects our published rates on November 15, 2026; check each tour page for current prices and availability.
For a first visit: Seoul First Look
Choose this four-hour route for palace history and everyday neighborhood life. The experience includes Gyeongbokgung Palace, Jogyesa Temple and Seochon, with a market snack and a café break. A licensed English-speaking guide and admission are included. It is a useful starting point if you want context for the places you will explore independently later.
For food and markets: Seoul Market Life
This four-hour tour connects the herbal streets and Gyeongdong Market area with Gwangjang Market. Meet at Jegi-dong Station Exit 2. The experience includes a tea or coffee stop, the K-Medi exhibit when open, and three shared food tastings at Gwangjang. Travel between the markets uses a bus or subway. One non-alcoholic drink per guest is included; additional food, drinks, consultations and taxis are not. The tastings are not a full meal.
For an evening out: Seoul After Dark
This three-hour private walk combines street food and a palace setting. The available starting times are 5:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Three shared tastings are included; all drinks are excluded. Check the product page for the detailed route and meeting arrangements before requesting your evening.
For a long airport connection: Seoul Between Flights
This is a four-hour city tour starting and ending at Seoul Station. Meet on AREX level B3, outside GS25, using the meeting photo supplied for your booking. The route covers Gyeongbokgung, Jogyesa and Insadong, with city public transport, admission, a snack and a drink included.
Airport pickup, airport rail tickets and airport escort are not included. A scheduled layover of at least 10 hours is an initial planning guideline, not a guarantee that the tour fits your flights. Send your flight details before booking so timing can be reviewed; you remain responsible for allowing enough time to return to the airport.
For useful Korean and neighborhood life: Read, Order, Explore
This 3.5-hour experience combines beginner Hangul and practical phrases with local practice around Seochon and Tongin Market. Instruction is in English, with materials, a drink and a snack included. Choose it if you would enjoy learning how to read a few signs and order during the rest of your trip.
What does private mean, and where do we meet?
Your booking is for your own party of 1–4 guests, without strangers joining. These are walking experiences, with public transport where the itinerary specifies it. A private car is not included. Tell us about your walking pace, mobility needs and any food restrictions before requesting a tour so we can discuss suitability.
Use the meeting point on your selected tour page. Hotel meeting on foot may be arranged in advance; it is not a vehicle pickup, and travel time counts within the tour duration. There is no walk-in office visit.
