Overview

Visit Korea’s White House before public access ends in June - Only 9 guests per tour The Blue House, also known as the White House of Korea, served as the presidential residence and office for over 70 years. For decades, nobody could enter. Only a few special guests invited by the president were allowed inside. These included world leaders, Olympic medalists, K-pop stars like BTS, and executives from companies like Samsung or LG. Now, after a change in government, the gates are open. But this access doesn't last forever, so don't miss your chance! On this small-group tour, a licensed guide will share Korea’s history, politics, and culture in excellent English with great storytelling. You’ll explore the Blue House in a way that’s insightful and truly memorable. On your own, you’d miss the hidden stories and deeper meanings behind what you see. So join our tour and don't miss out on anything. Book your spot now. If you’re not satisfied, we offer a 100% refund.
