Instead of taking the Half Day or Full Day tour offered by travel agencies, why not you try Seoul City Tour Bus. During my visit to Seoul, I have decided to choose Seoul City Tour Bus to take my family to all most attraction places around Seoul City. Some of travel agencies had offered courses at reasonable prices, but when you calculate the cost for each places you wish to go ( include the entrance fee), then you will find out, it is cheap and better for you to take the Seoul City Tour Bus. Why?
Seoul City Tour Bus is a fully air-condition, nice seat and they provide you well English speaking tour guide in the bus. This bus will take you to the most popular attractions all around Seoul city. They provide 3 courses. There are Downtown Tour, Palace Tour and Nigh Tour. You can buy the tickets on the board instead you buy it at the other ticketing counter. They offer you 2 types of ticket which are Single ride (adult - 5,000 won, children - 3,000 won) and One Day Ticket (for Downtown Tour and Palace Tour) which will cost you about 10,000 won for adult and 8,000 won for children. It is cheap!
I have decided to take One Day Ticket since I wish to visit the entire palace in Seoul. The route and the place visit for Downtown Tour and Palace Tour course is not much different. Seoul City tour bus will take you to 5 palaces instead of 3 palaces with Downtown Tour course. The other places offered by Palace tour are Korea Press Center, Kyobo Book Center and Seoul Museum History which are located nearby the Palace. You have to walk for 5 minutes or cross the road to go there. No need to take a bus in case you are lazy to walk. After all, then I realize, for who wish to see and appreciate all palace, then you can count in the Palace Tour Course. Otherwise, I recommend you to take the Downtown Tour Course and it is enough to cover all attraction places around the Seoul. The tour guide in the bus can speak korean and english. But most of the time they speak korean since all the people in the bus are korean. They will speak english when they realize the existence of foreign visitors in the bus. This bus also provides you multilingual guide service via individual headphones and it is present to you during on board of the bus. It will take only 10 to 15 minutes waiting for the next bus at the place you stop. You won’t wait longer for the bus to take you to other places since the bus will run at the first stop in every 30 minutes.
