7 Hop-On Hop-Off Tours in Seoul That You Shouldn't Miss
Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

Whenever I take hop on hop off tours, my main intent is to use them as a method to get from point A to point B without getting lost (my usual method) and seeing more of the city than if I was walking; that being said, I don't worry too much about the commentary available. I like to walk, but Seoul is a car friendly city, and I don't think I could have walked to all of the sights I wanted to in one day, and it was cheaper than multiple taxis. There are three routes available, and I did buy the two day ticket that allowed me to take more than one route. I was mostly interested in the Palace route, which includes the three palaces, the War Memorial of Korea, Hanok Village and N Seoul Tower. Logistically, the ticket process can be confusing or at least not as easy as you would think. You can pre-purchase the ticket online, but you have to take that voucher to the kiosk and turn it in for a ticket, which means you cannot just hop on the bus if there is a stop near your hotel. A couple of times the drivers looked at my ticket and looked confused, but still let me on, but I didn't understand why they were confused, it couldn't have been the first time they saw that type of ticket, could it? I didn't have any of the issues that some other reviewers had, but I can understand some of the frustration. So, I would recommend using the bus as a way to see a large city and a lot of its sights without trying to navigate on your own.

This was my first visit to Seoul, and I noticed the yellow Seoul City Tour Bus right at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza. How convenient! I thought that using the Tour Bus would be a great introduction to the city, so I could familiarize myself with places of interest and location. My experience as a passenger was great: the driver was an excellent driver, professional, polite and he pointed out highlights ; the bus was very clean; and the audio presentation was in both Korean and English. It was especially convenient and an extraordinary value because it was a single ticket for the entire day. You can hop on and hop off for an unlimited number of rides for a single day! My only suggestions to riders would be to look at the bus schedule to determine the proper times and pick-up locations and wear your paper wrist band they provide you to be able to hop on and off for the day. The stops are well marked and easy to recognize. The Seoul City Tour Bus is incredibly tourist friendly and convenient for both locals and visitors. Very well done.
