Gwangju City Tour : Where old meets new (private)

* This tour takes place in Gwangju, the metropolitan city in South Korea. Welcome to Gwangju, the city of light! Famed as Korea’s most delicious city with its generous cuisine, Gwangju is also the proud hometown of Han Kang, who won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature. Shaped by the energy of Mt. Mudeungsan and the courage of its citizens, Korea’s fifth-largest city is peaceful yet vibrant—offering an authentic glimpse of daily life far from the bustle of Seoul and Busan. On this tour, explore the cityscape, discover art spaces, and taste local specialties while hearing stories of Gwangju. Finish at a local supermarket, where your guide helps you choose authentic Korean ingredients, snacks, tea, and cosmetics. If you prefer not to shop at a local supermarket, you can choose to visit a traditional market instead. Come as a guest, leave as part of the Gwangju family!
