Watch the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony at Gwanghwamun Gate, a traditional performance that brings the Joseon Dynasty to life. Inside the palace, admire Geunjeongjeon Hall, where kings once held official audiences, and the picturesque Gyeonghoeru Pavilion, a stunning wooden structure built over a serene pond. Continue to Tongin Market, a traditional marketplace known for its unique Yeopjeon (brass coin) food experience.

This afternoon, ride past Cheong Wa Dae (The Blue House), the former presidential residence of South Korea. Gain insight into Korea's modern political history and admire its imposing architecture. Next, explore Bukchon Hanok Village, a well-preserved neighborhood offering a glimpse into Korea's architectural heritage. Wander through narrow alleys lined with 600-year-old hanok houses, many of which serve as cultural spaces, art galleries, and tea houses. Continue the cultural journey with a 1-hour hands-on traditional craft workshop. Under the guidance of a skilled artisan, create a handmade Korean handicraft, gaining a deeper appreciation for Korea's craftsmanship and artistic traditions. Later, take a relaxing break at a traditional tea house or modern café with a cultural twist. A perfect moment of tranquility before the final stop of the day. Wrap up the tour in Insadong, Seoul's cultural hub known for its traditional arts and crafts.

Your session begins with a shoulder, waist, and back massage using aromatherapy oils to stimulate circulation, promote detoxification, and reduce swelling. A cleansing and soft peeling treatment follows to eliminate dead skin cells and impurities, preparing the skin for deeper care. Next, enjoy manual facial massage techniques tailored to your skin type, lifting the jawline and enhancing facial contours. The neck and decollete massage further encourages lymphatic drainage and improves circulation, aiding in toxin removal. A bubble pack deeply cleanses the pores, promoting a more even and radiant complexion. This is followed by the application of customized treatment ampoules, to nourish and regenerate the skin with moisture and collagen agents. Finally, a modeling pack seals in all the benefits. This soothing, regenerative mask locks in nutrients, leaving your skin visibly brighter, smoother, and deeply hydrated.

My wife and I have just returned from our 5th trip with Goway. Once again everything ran smoothly from first day to last. This trip was the 9 day all Ireland tour which covered both north & south Ireland. The tour was operated by Rabbies tours whom we used in Scotland and the 16 passenger van only had 6 passengers including us.Other than a couple of days the weather was prety good although the wind did get a bit wild. The pub food was delicious & i got a taste for real Guiness. We spent a few extra days in Dublin and found it very expensive, the excange rate didn't help. Our travel consultant Jaqueline personalised the trip and was very helpful. George Croome

1186952 trip reference - Croatia and Montenegro. Dear Goway Travel Team! I wanted to reach out and share some well-deserved praise for Jacqueline, who has assisted me closely with several of my travels. She recently curated a trip for me to Croatia, the beautiful islands, and Montenegro, and it was an absolute home run. Jacqueline has an incredible ability to listen to her clients' needs and translate them perfectly into a flawless itinerary. Her articulation, guideline execution, and professionalism are unmatched. What sets her apart is her forward-thinking approach—she always knows the exact hotspots and trends, ensuring the pace of the trip matches my speed perfectly. Everything transitioned seamlessly thanks to her attention to detail and care. She is a massive asset to your organization, and her consideration makes every vacation stress-free.

I have worked with Goway several times in the past two years and every single trip has been unforgettable. Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime! Kayla Covello

Try to stay at a traditional hanok accommodation (similar to a ryokan) with hanok dinner, which involves enjoying Korean cuisine, aka jeongsik (course meals) with banchan (side dishes). It's a rustic, traditional experience that all globetrotters will love.

Umbrellas are common; you can pick them up everywhere as well, but you'll find on sunny days as well as rainy ones that locals are using umbrellas and without one, you'll get a poke in the head now and again as you're walking on busy sidewalks.

Avoid July/August, as they are the rainiest months, with heavy flooding even in the cities, and temple walks become difficult. I also recommend avoiding Chuseok in September, a six-day holiday where everything is closed.
