Stay at a hand-picked boutique hotel in central Seoul while five days of private charter link the Incheon coast, Lotte World, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village and Gwangjang Market.
Overview
You stay at a hand-picked hotel in the heart of Seoul, within walking distance of Gwangjang Market and Dongdaemun, while a five-day itinerary strings together the Incheon coast, Seoul's classic sights and the countryside nearby: from Wolmido Island, Lotte World, Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village through to Gwangjang Market, then out to Nami Island or Ganghwa Island, with Korean favourites such as samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) and jajangmyeon along the way. Your private driver leads the way throughout, with hotel pickups and luggage loaded for you, and each day's departure time, length of stops and route can be discussed and adjusted with your driver. The itinerary below is a suggestion; the number of days, attractions, meals and hotels can all be arranged to suit you.
Highlights
Itinerary
Fly to Korea today and, once you have landed at Incheon, begin with an easy-going coastal outing. Board the Wolmido seagull-feeding cruise to feed the gulls up close and enjoy a soothing spell on the water, then ride the Wolmi Sea Train for views over Incheon harbour. Afterwards stroll through Incheon Chinatown and Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village, where Chinese and Korean cultures mingle and the streets are painted in storybook colours, a bright opening to the journey.
Head for Seoul's most iconic theme park, Lotte World, which combines the world's largest indoor amusement park with the lakeside Magic Island and suits families and groups of friends alike. The rides, parades and shows are rich and varied, and the park is a good visit at any time of year. Afterwards browse Lotte Mart and the streets around Lotte World Tower for shopping and photos, soaking up the modern, metropolitan side of Seoul.
Today goes to the historic heart of Seoul: change into a hanbok to explore Gyeongbokgung Palace, then wander Bukchon Hanok Village, whose traditional houses have been preserved for six hundred years. Continue to Samcheong-dong and Insa-dong, where tradition and a bohemian, artistic air blend together. In the late afternoon sample authentic street food at Gwangjang Market, and after dark visit Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) for its avant-garde architecture and romantic night views.
Itinerary options (choose one): A. Nami Island → Gangchon Rail Park → The Garden of Morning Calm. B. Ganghwa Island luge → Jeondeungsa Temple → Zipline → A popular cafe. Today is yours to spend as you wish, choosing an excursion out of town to suit your taste. The Nami Island route is known for its natural scenery and K-drama locations and is beautiful in every season; Ganghwa Island combines a luge run, an ancient temple and sea views, with something for both the active and the relaxed. Whether you want photos, a slow day or a little adrenaline, it is easy to arrange, with no rush and no fixed schedule.
On the final day visit Mangwon Market, a favourite with locals, to taste inexpensive and varied Korean street food and see the most authentic side of everyday Seoul. Then head to the youthful, energetic Hongdae district for free time to shop, take photos and catch the street performers. When the itinerary ends, your driver takes you to the airport for the flight home, a fitting close to a wonderful trip to Korea.

Stops
A sightseeing monorail linking Incheon Station with Wolmido Island on a 6.1-kilometre loop with four stations, taking about 35 minutes for the full circuit. The carriages run 7 to 18 metres above the ground, giving an uninterrupted view of the Wolmido coast, Incheon's inner harbour, the Yellow Sea and, in the distance, Incheon Bridge.
Close to Mangnidan-gil and Mangwon Hangang Park, this is the place to stock up before a picnic. It is not large, yet it gathers all the snacks and household goods typical of a traditional Korean market; in recent years a wave of new dishes has drawn plenty of younger visitors, which makes browsing here especially good fun.
