| The Seoul City Walking Tours are planned and sponsored by the Seoul City government and each tour takes place on foot accompanied by a trained guide speaking English or Japanese. There are 3 main courses, but each course has two subdivisions- so in reality there are 6 courses to select from. Tours are free of charge aside from admission to each site visited. Tours must be requested by e-mail at least 3 days in advance, and additional information about the courses (tour times, where to meet) will be e-mailed after you put in a request. |
