A cool morning wind threads between tiled roofs as participants step into a hanbok and walk out of modern Seoul into its layered past. The tour begins at Changdeokgung, where palace gates frame courtyards and a UNESCO-designated Secret Garden waits in memory; stone paths and carved eaves give the city an older cadence. From the palace the group moves uphill into Bukchon Hanok Village, where narrow alleys and stepped lanes push visitors through rows of preserved hanok, some still lived in, some converted into small museums or tea houses.
