Seoul Like A Local: E-bike Tour With Hidden Gems & Korean Food

Vincent was brilliant! Good fun and knowledgeable. The best way to see Seoul is on a bike tour.

These e-bikes were wonderful and easy to use. We saw many new neighborhoods that I had never seen on previous tours, really cool places! Our guide Vincent was so fun and knowledgeable. We stopped at several local restaurants for takeaway or suggested food/drinks on our own time. Definitely places I’ll be going back to in the future. I was impressed with the “local” vibe each destination was giving mixed in with the “must see” cultural sites.

Kevin was really passionate and enthusiastic about his local area. Loads of great stories and information about the history Fabulous new bikes too which help you see a lot of the city Also saw some favourite local food spots which you would struggle to find otherwise

We had a fantastic morning with Kevin as our guide and CEO of the company. We saw all the major sites and Kevin was able to explain and give us context . He was also entertaining and funny. The bikes were easy to use and great for going up the hills ! We enjoyed the traditional delicious Korean snacks and cakes. Highly recommend this saying exploring Seoul .

### A highlight of my Seoul trip—even after exploring the same areas on foot! I’ve taken four tours in Seoul, and Kevin’s electric bike tour is one I can wholeheartedly recommend. It genuinely felt like being shown around by a friend rather than being on an organized tour. I’d already walked around many of the areas on the route, including the palace, the Blue House, and Bukchon Hanok Village, so I initially wondered whether it would be worthwhile. It absolutely was! Riding through the neighborhoods and little streets offered a completely different perspective, and Kevin took us to places I would never have discovered on my own. We saw Gyeongbokgung Palace and the changing of the guards, explored Bukchon Hanok Village, and visited a market frequented by locals rather than one of the big tourist markets. We also stopped at a local bakery with the most delicious baked goods I’ve had on this entire trip. Kevin’s explanations at each stop were just right: informative and engaging without being overwhelming. The electric bike was great fun, and I felt safe throughout. He expertly guided us through the streets and constantly checked back to make sure everyone was comfortable and keeping up. Kevin runs his own tour business, and it’s absolutely worth supporting. A friendly, personal, and thoroughly enjoyable way to see Seoul—even if you think you’ve already seen the sights. **Highly recommended!**

This was a wonderful tour! Kevin our guide was fantastic in explaining key historical details as we rode around to the different locations around Seoul. He took so many pictures of us as well with his camera so that we could download great high res photos of us on the bike tour. We stopped and also sampled Korean food along the way. This is well worth the time. A MUST DO if you are in Seoul!

This was a very fun experience, we rode through many small neighborhoods and got to sample some awesome treats from the market and a local bakery. Kevin was an excellent guide with historical info and humorous stories. We would definitely recommend taking this tour.

What a great way to see major sights of the city in a short amount of time. Kevin was very knowledgeable, and he made sure we were all together and safe on the busy streets of Seoul. The bikes were great. I would highly recommend this tour as a starting point, if you’ve never seen the city before.

A fabulous cycle trek through the highlights of ancient Seoul, including the changing of the guards, with tasty treats, great history and lots of laughs. What a great crew. Bikes were in good condition and the route safe. Kevin our guide nailed it. Thank you Kevin.

What an incredible trip around Seoul on a wonderful e-bike led by the charming Kevin, who had a deep knowledge of Seoul, had some good jokes and was a very safety conscious leader. He made sure we were on time to get the most out of our journey. He took us down narrow streets, through city traffic and around Seoul, all with two things in mind - our safety and an amazing experience.

We had a fantastic morning with Kevin riding through the hidden back streets of Seoul on our Brompton e-bikes. He was very knowledgeable and I’d highly recommend it.

This is the best way to really get a more personal experience and feel for the city and WeRideKorea is an excellent company to use. Very balanced and yhoughtful tour combining the big sites with some more off the beaten path places I never would have deen on my own. I lived it. Out guide Kevin was great, very patient and attentive. I highly recommend this tour and their company for a fun experience.

Very fun and interesting visiting off the beaten path places as well as palaces. Great insight and very patient and stentive guide. Kevin was great. I highly recommend this tour.

I highly recommend this tour which we undertook with Kevin. Seoul is sprawling and Kevin guided us expertly on our bikes to the palace entrance and through the back streets, commenting on points of interest as we went. I learnt a lot about Korea on the tour. We also went to a local market and had tokkbokki and a traditional rice cake dessert filled with sesame paste and syrup. Delicious. So there was a bit for everyone on this tour.

Had a wonderful morning with Vincent covering many must-see sights of central seoul. Informative and loads of fun. Market snacks an extra bonus! Bikes very easy to use, even for the less experienced. Highly recommend.

Excellent time. Vincent did an incredible job keeping us all in line and entertained. Highly recommend this tour for the sights and local knowledge. The bikes were very user friendly.

Niho was amazing. Friendly, fun with perfect English. Entertaining stories from Korean history and yummy brunch at market.

Absolutely the way to see Seoul and experience the city and explore the other side of Seoul. Our guides were great fun, knowledgeable and easy to follow. Had a brilliant time, thanks guys.

Taejin was an excellent, knowledgeable guide - fluent in English and explained Korean history and culture and made us feel safe while riding on e-bikes. Our group had a fabulous time!

Very enjoyable experience Guide was very knowledgeable and took us to places we would not otherwise have seen. Electric bikes made it easier than pedal bikes we used in Tokyo

It’s a great way to see a bit more of the city, with a pause for some tasty snacks. Definitely made me appreciate Seoul and its history more after Taejin and Victor shared their knowledge. Great vibes, good energy, great pacing of the trip.

Great fun, very informative and be ready to cycle. … Kevin took us to some lovely little back lanes and alley ways. He was very informative about historical facts. Would thoroughly recommend.

This was a great way to see the city and all the highlights. Vincent was a wonderful guide and provided tons of history.

Great way to see the highlights and learn the history of the city. We covered a lot of ground, saw the changing of the guard, and tried foods from the market. Vincent was a wonderful tour guide!

So glad we booked this bike tour! We had already been in Seoul for almost a week, but during the tour we learned so many new and interesting things about the city. Vincent is super friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable. He shared interesting insights about Seoul, Korean culture and some of the country’s political history, which we really enjoyed learning more about. What we especially liked was the contrast between cycling through busy parts of the city and then, just around the corner, discovering quiet hidden gems we would never have found ourselves. Vincent also let us try some local food along the way. The electric bikes were great, especially for tackling some of Seoul’s steeper hills. Seoul is surprisingly bike-friendly, even though you don’t see that many locals cycling. A really fun, interesting and well-organized tour. Great value for money and definitely recommended! Cheers from Amsterdam and thank you for the awesome pictures that you shoot along the tour!

Really enjoyed our 3h morning bike tour with Vincent! We had a very small group, fun tour and amazing guide.

Wonderful tour on e-bikes. Our guide Vincent was terrific. Very knowledgeable and fun. He took us to places I wouldn’t expect to see having stamped some Korean foods and visiting traditional homes and shops along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it to others. The biking was fairly easy.

Vincent was great. Informative, entertaining and knows Seoul like a seasoned local. Enjoyed the tour and the sights. Being 6’-2”, the bikes have small wheels soo a bit of hunching took its toll by the end of the trip. Heard new bikes are on the way.

Our family went on this ebike tour and I highly recommend it to you. Vincent the proprietor was a great guide. Very knowledgeable with a nice warm spirit. He is a Korean citizen who was born in the UK so combines excellent English with a genuine love of Korea and its people. The bikes were perfect for first timers and Vincent helped us all navigate the main roads and back streets. The itinerary had a good balance of classic tourist sights and some interesting hard to find spots. This was all woven together with Vincent's commentary that added historical and social insights. My 13 yo son had a good time but you should probably make sure that kids fit into the current height requirements. If I was to think of any negatives it was that the bikes were slightly underpowered (front hub motor and 3 speed rear hub gears) The programming of the power dynamics were a little skittish. But this will soon change as they are upgrading to Cannondale Neo's soon. Overall Five stars from me 👍😊

I highly recommend this trip to give you a taste of Seoul’s history, culture and sights. Vincent was a warm, funny, and informed guide, and e-biking in Seoul is both super fun and very safe. Don’t hesitate to do it. You won’t regret it!

The trip was a wonderful surprise, in the middle of the day. Vincent was a magnificent, knowledgeable, charming guide. We gladly divided wi the him into sites and history

Fabulous experience. Booking was straightforward, bike was good quality and easy to use, and the guide was friendly and knowledgable. Got to see parts of Seoul I wouldn’t have had I walked or caught a train. Highly recommend.

We loved spending a ~4 hour late summer morning on this tour. It was safe, enjoyable and entertaining. Our guide was friendly and profesosinal. The e-bike was particularly helpful to get to the Bukchon Hanok village viewpoint. We tasted local snacks that we never have tried ourselves at a market. We learned enough about local history and culture so it didn't feel overwhelming. We rode through interesting neighborhood alleyways. The tour was a nice blend of popular tourist attractions and hidden gems. We highly recommend the tour when you visit Seoul!

We had a fabulous ride around Seoul this morning. Along the way we learned about the history and culture of Korea, got to taste some typical Korean snacks and saw many interesting sights made more accessible by the easy to ride e-bikes. Vincent was excellent and had a fun sense of humour. The photos he took provided an excellent reminder of our tour. If you are considering the tour don’t hesitate. Just book it.

Amazing. Highlight of our trip. Vincent was funny, knowledgeable, and engaged. Definitely a must do. Went through local spots, a market, and the main tourist spots. He even had a camera to take pictures of us, which he shared at the end of the trip.

Vincent was a fantastic guide. Don’t miss. Really enjoyable. Highlight of our trip.

What a great tour! Take this tour as your first activity of the trip and you will get to see many neighborhoods in 3 hours and learn much old and recent history of Seoul. Our morning tour included the changing of the guard which was awesome. Kevin was a great and funny leader. The biking is easy.

Fantastic tour with Vincent today! Even though it rained the whole time we had a truly wonderful time exploring parts of Seoul I likely would not have discovered on my own. The e-bike made the ride super easy and smooth and appreciated the ponchos loaned to us on a rainy day. Felt light as a feather and very safe the whole time. Also loved the food samples and recommendations shared after the tour. Can’t recommend this tour enough for all ages.

Full and punctual 3 hr ebike tour. June had everything timed to the minute, w a few surprises along the itinerary. Easy bikes to ride. Informative. Sent a ton of pics afterwards. Got to see do much more of Seoul this way. And way cooler than a walking tour on a hot and humid day!!

The bike tour of Seoul was fantastic. The guides were knowledgeable and very engaging. They took us to great sites In Seoul and allowed us to see multiple places within the 3 hour tour. I highly recommend this tour.

Outstanding tour! We went to major locations as well as hidden gems I never could have found on my own. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to hang out with for the tour. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to explore Seoul. I will definitely be spreading the words to my colleagues when they visit.

A pretty easy bike ride thanks to the eBike and a great way to see the city. The team was friendly, patient and so helpful. Had a great time.

Outstanding experience. Great way to see the city, learn some interesting things and have a lot of fun. Using an eBike makes it easy for anyone to experience and the team took great photos for us to keep.

My first E-bike tour with We Ride Korea was back in 2022—it's usually the first thing I recommend to anyone visiting Seoul. Even after four years, I can still say this tour is the perfect activity. If you've never been to Seoul, book it for your first full day—it's the perfect preview of the city. I've been to Seoul ten times since 2022—and one reason I so strongly recommend this tour is that I feel like you haven't seen Seoul until you see it from the seat of a bike. It's a completely different experience from walking, taking the subway, or bus. Not only do you see some great tourist highlights—you also ride into some local areas that many tourists will never see. This was my first time with Tae Jin as a guide, and I found him to be friendly and knowledgeable. You'll learn some tidbits of history that you may never know if you're sightseeing on your own. There was light rain during part of the ride, but the provided ponchos kept us nice and dry. Vincent was the caboose, and between the two guides, it felt very safe. If you're worried about pedaling—don't. The E-bike can help you as little or as much as you need!

It was a fun trip and a good introduction to Seoul with a brief history of the city. Phil, from Italy, was great and provided us with great local recommendations later. I think the price was a little high for a 3 hr tour in Seoul but being a solo traveler, it provided me with everything I needed quickly and the guide was informative. I'm now in Bangkok with my family of 6 and feel the price would be too high for an entire family excursion, hence the 1 star reduction . Also, I was expecting a local English speaking Asian guide from Korea, not an Anglo living in Korea who can speak the language., so that part of the experience was a little disappointing. Phil was great, but it was not the immersive experience i was hoping for., hence the 2nd star reduction

I loved this tour so much that I've done it **twice**! If you're looking for the perfect way to experience Seoul, this is it. The route is well planned and takes you to some incredible sights while giving you a real feel for the city. Our guide was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome. They shared fascinating stories and local insights that you wouldn't get exploring on your own. The itinerary was excellent, with plenty of stops along the way for delicious local nibbles and opportunities to take photos and rest. Even when it rained, the tour was still an absolute blast! The guide kept everyone's spirits high, and riding through Seoul in the rain ended up being a memorable part of the experience. I can't recommend **We Ride Bike Tour** enough. Whether it's your first visit to Seoul or you're returning, this tour is a fantastic experience. I'd happily do it a third time!

Full disclosure - we are an e-bike family. We love them and we love how they give you an excuse to get outside. She. We saw an e-bike tour for Seoul, we knew we had to give it a shot. It did not disappoint. I don’t remember all the places we hit, but we went to places like a palace, a market, the presidential Blue House, a Han nok, and a couple of different parts of Seoul. The tour was outstanding. Vincent was extremely knowledgeable. He also took care of the whole group while we were in his care. Some of the older parts of the city were extremely hilly. It was great having the e-bikes to help us up those areas. The excursion is a couple of hours. You’ll want to make sure you bring a water bottle, because you will be exerting yourself. This is a great way to get some exercise and get a little history lesson at the same time. Plan your trip now!

Absolutely amazing. I haven't been on a bike for 35 years and I found it hard to negotiate the e- bike amongst the traffic, pedestrian and rain! Fil our fantastic guide offered us pedicab. A rickshaw type set up with an e-bike. I have to say that this tour would have to be the highlight of our entire trip. Thank you so much Fil for you being so amazing and knowlegable! You made our trip to Korea so memorable.
