Itinerary
Garosu-gil in Sinsa-dong is known among both citizens and foreign tourists alike, not just because it is a beautiful promenade in the middle of the city, but because it caters to unique cultural tastes and artistic sensibilities.
Apgujeong Rodeo Street is the leading fashion mecca, formed as a cultural zone with a high propensity for consumption. It creates leading fashion trends, customer friendly shops, foreign brand shops with high-quality goods, reasonably priced hip hop fashion shops, and accessory shops.
The area surrounding the station is an important commercial and entertainment district. Many shops in the subway station below ground. In 2007, the area was the 10th most expensive shopping street in the world.

Opened in 1964, Namdaemun Market is the first largest traditional market in Korea with various goods in store such as children’s, men’s and women’s wear. The displayed goods are sold at a reasonable price and it also functions as a wholesale market.

In addition to shopping for skin care amethyst glasses and souvenirs we were able to see some sights that we otherwise didn’t have time to visit. Our guide Diane was great
Diane was fantastic. We got to visit the Gangnam statue the Stanfield library. Ate fried chicken. Visited and shoped at amethyst market facial products glasses and local market. ❤️
Alex was an informative, knowledgeable, excellent tour guy. He patiently answered all our questions.
The best experience! Our tour guide Diane is very knowledgeable and flexible. My daughter and I had been to some of the shopping places and my daughter really wanted to get her hair cut in Korea. Diane made this possible and we had the best experience ever! No amount of money can ever replace my daughter’s experience. It’s the unexpected kindness and diverting from the tour plan that made this experience memorable. Thank you, Diane! We are so grateful for you. Tom, our driver, friendly, respectful and always had a smile on his face. Highly recommend.
Great experience with Gogo. He was very knowledgeable, presenting lots of information in a fun and easy to understand way.
Wonderful tour with Diane. She was great and fun. Totally recommend her again.
Our tour guide, Sunny, was truly exceptional and made every Korea trip (since it’s the 4th time with her) so unforgettable. She always had an answer to every question and concern we had—whether it was about the best places to visit, where to find specific shopping stores, hidden gems, local recommendations, or even detailed information about Korea’s rich history and culture. Her knowledge seemed endless! Beyond being incredibly informative, she was patient, attentive, and always ready to help. It honestly felt like we had a walking encyclopedia and a trusted friend guiding us throughout the journey. Her passion and expertise made every experience more meaningful. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Korea!”
Emily was exceptional. Her knowledge and communication really enhanced the experience. Emily was upbeat, courteous, kind, and helpful. Other for guides openly celebrated her as the best and I completely agree. Emily is #1!
My guide was a no-show. I was left stranded waiting for a no-show guide. I had to call to get the information that the guide cancelled.
Very informative- I learned a lot about the DMZ and the Korean War. Gogo shared so much information. I liked the structure of the tour- short early morning hike before touring the DMZ area. Lunch in the Unification Village was a highlight.
This tour is a must if it’s your first time in Seoul. Our tour guide Alice is very accommodating and she gave us tips and so much information about history and culture of Korea. Highly recommended!
Kelly was our tour guide we had a really nice tour. Amazing historical and cultural day. Charlie was our driver and he was pumctual and very clean shuttle service. Thank you Kelly!

I loved it because the lady was nice to me and I got to visit places I thought I never would in Korea and I got to try new foods.
Thank you Gabby (VIP travels) for the amazing tour my mother and I had a great time seeing places that we would have totally missed had it not been for you.. thank you for telling us so much about the history of the place even though we booked a shopping tour we were enlightened about more than we thought visited thr best places had the best local food to suit our taste and she went out and beyond to help us translate n buy korean products.. I think I made a friend for life and will truly treasure my memories of sweet Gabby and her tour with two indian mom n daughter duo.. thank you for ur love n kindness xoxox
This was an amazing tour! It was exciting to go shopping in Seoul! There are so many great shopping areas and impossible to cover them all without someone who knows the city and is expert in navigating the experience. Jenny was that person! With her expertise we visited the most popular shopping markets and stores! She was very personable, and friendly and made us feel comfortable , while we visited each shopping area. She tailor designed our trip according to what we wanted to see and buy! Kudos to her and her company for such an excellent experience!
It’s was a wonderful combination of shopping and sightseeing to places that would have been difficult for us to find on our first time in Korea. We enjoyed our guide, Jenny, that gave us quite a full day of shopping.
I had an incredible experience on this shopping tour, thanks to Sunny! She was an amazing guide—extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand what I was interested in and tailored the experience to ensure I made the most of my time. Not only did she lead me to fantastic shopping spots, but she also made sure I had a delicious lunch, adding an extra special touch to the day. Her expertise and warm personality made the tour one of the highlights of my trip so far. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a well-curated, enjoyable, and stress-free shopping adventure!
