Itinerary
With our comfortable transportation and friendly driver, you will start the experience of Kimchi Making & wearing Hanbok
you will learn about the art of the tea ceremony and put on a Hanbok, a Korean traditional dress. Korean tea ceremonies are very different from traditional British tea ceremonies. In Korean tea ceremonies, the cups and the pots have a specific location on the tray. Then, you have a chance to make Kimchi by yourself. Kimchi was named as one of the world’s five healthiest foods by U.S. Health Magazine. Taste your own Kimchi after you finish making it. After that, you will learn traditional Korean etiquette. Ever since ancient times, Koreans have shown respect and courtesy to elder people such as parents, grandparents and teachers. As such, there are specific ways of greeting elders. You will learn how to greet people in Korea.
Stop by a Duty-free center before we drop you off at your hotel back.
After your wonderful experience of Kimchi Making & wearing Hanbok, you will be dropped back off to your hotel in Seoul.

About Seoul
Royal palaces and hanok villages sit among glass towers, buzzing markets and late-night food streets in Seoul, South Korea's capital.
Five grand palaces from the Joseon dynasty grace the city, led by Gyeongbokgung, with its colourful changing of the guard, and Changdeokgung, whose Secret Garden is a serene escape. Between them, Bukchon Hanok Village preserves traditional tiled-roof houses on sloping lanes, and Insadong is known for tea houses, galleries and crafts.
