Overview

This is not simply a traditional heritage tour.
At its core, it is a bespoke, design-driven hosted experience that highlights how contemporary Korea lives, creates, and evolves today.
From architecture and art to fashion, cafés, and lifestyle, we focus on current cultural trends to help you sense both the timeless heritage and the modern pulse of Korea.

Rather than academic or historical lectures, this experience is for travelers who want to see spaces locals love, neighborhoods in transition, and contemporary spots that shape everyday culture.

How It Works
Once you book, we connect via WhatsApp for a short questionnaire. You can select the neighborhoods, spaces, and experiences you’d like to explore.
Based on your choices, we suggest a curated flow of places and then host you through the experience, one private group at a time.
