What to expect

If you discover Seoul, we can do with you some "classics", such as the surroundings of palaces, with a preference for Changdeokgung and its sublime Secret Garden, classified by UNESCO for their way of immersing themselves in nature. Secret Garden that we can help book in advance and show among Korean groups. But we mostly take you where others don't, unusual places like the old heart of Seoul in full conversion, Euljiro, the more mountainous north of Seoul (traditional Iwha-dong and its murals, the upscale Pyeongchang-dong and its galleries), the new hipster neighborhood of Seongsu or the neighborhood where I live, Hongdae, heart of the art and student scene. We can go further, as we have often done, according to requests, as follows: - Photogenic places for photographers – Drama/cinema related venues (I work in cinema!), or K-pop, or webtoon, because we coordinated many docs/reports on these topics. - Crafts - Maison Bleue (former presidential palace open to the public since 2022) - Dongdaemun Market Tissue Search - Escape game and VR cafe
