I took one of the DMZ tour. They showed me many things that I didn't know.
They also have Panmunjeom tour and I wish to take this tour next time.

I recommend visit at Namdaemun Shopping Street. The souvenir items are really cheap. Seoul is generally clean. It's easy to go around from place to place as long as you carry a map. You will hardly get lost if you just follow the lines of the subway. The Good Morning Tour is okay. The black limo taxi is more expensive than the gray or white ones. If you can't find an English-speaking Korean to ask for directions, then don't. Koreans who don't understand English won't be able to help you anyway and they usually give the wrong sign language. The map is more reliable. Also take the River cruise at night to see Seoul's 27 bridges wonderfully decorated with multicolored lights. We went into a Korean Restaurdant at back of the hotel where nobody can speak English. We had to point our orders (good thing they have pictures!) and do sign language. It was rather difficult and nobody showed us how to eat the food. It's quite different from our usual food. We figured out anyway on our last day of tour when we went into a restaurant of similar kind and a lady was kind enough to demonstrate to us how to eat their authentic Korean food.

Great destination - Seoul. I live in another part of Ulsan and had not visited Seoul yet. I had a wonderful time - enjoying the foreigner's part of the city, Itaewon. I toured the war museum which was very well done and also viewed the city from the observatory of the highest building in Korea.

Seoul is a fun place for eating and enjoying the Korean Spa experience, but city has nothing much more to offer. English is not very well spoken in general public, but Korea is a very Japanese-friendly tourist destination. Unless you love shopping and Korean food, I do not recommend this place.

I would definitely recommend the City Tour Bus. Unfortunately for us, we didn't have a lot of time to see all the sights on the tour, but it's worth the money to be able to hop on an off the bus and travel around. Pattaya is a fabulous restaurant for Thai food. Gecko's is a great bar that plays good music. If you want to sit outside, go to Club Caliente and sit on the roof. The Electronics Market is out of control! There are soooo many stores, one could spend the entire trip there and still wouldn't be able to see all the stores! The taxis are very inexpensive and the drivers know how to speak English to help get you around. The subway system is phenomenal! I would definitely recommend using it if you want to go to other places in Korea!

I would highly recommend the Ho Lee Chow Chinese restaraunt located right by the hotel.. it is fabulous.. and since the Hamilton is right in the middle of Itaewon, there is countless things to do to occupy your time. Seoul has daily tours (LOTS of them to choose from) but I didn't take any, I was visiting my boyfriend stationed over there.

Seoul is a place to do busines, not more. I took a tour and it was not interesting.
