Seoul: Views of History and Culture
We had an excellent tour with Paul. We met at our hotel lobby, where he provided a detailed introduction to the sights we would be visiting. We saw a broad swath of Korean Culture: the Gyeongbokgung Palace, the National Folk Museum, Bukchon Hanok neighborhood, the Seoul City Wall, Nansen Mountain and vast views of the city from N Seoul Tower. Paul is a scholar of Korean history and culture. He explained the concepts of Confucianism philosophy in the architecture of the palace and its continued influence in modern life. We marveled at the contrasts and continuity between the Joseon Dynesty and the city around us. Our tour route was planned efficiently: we saw a lot as we walked and rode the bus and subways. Paul answered questions thoroughly and was generous with his time. I highly recommend him to visitors yearning to know more about Korean history and culture.
