    Hotel pickup, transfers between the three sightseeing stops, and return to your Seoul hotel take approximately 80 minutes in total across the tour.

The four-hour total consists of 75 minutes at the palace, 40 minutes in the hanok area, 45 minutes at the market and 80 minutes for transfers. Traffic may change the balance while the total vehicle service remains four hours.
