What we love about this experience is how it combines convenience and flexibility. First, the private vehicle means you won’t be stuck with strangers or on a preset schedule. Second, the MOVV app’s automatic translation makes communicating with your chauffeur straightforward, even if you don’t speak Korean.

A Close Look at the Experience

The core appeal of this tour lies in its flexibility. You pay for a private vehicle and driver, meaning you can craft your own route. Whether you want to start with a walk through Gwanghwamun and the Gyeongbokgung Palace area, or prefer to end your night at the Lotte Tower Observatory, the choice is yours. The itinerary options include popular spots like N Seoul Tower, Naksan Park, Cheonggyecheon, and scenic spots along the Han River such as Yeouido Hangang Park.

Traveling at night, Seoul transforms into a luminous canvas. We loved the way N Seoul Tower offers panoramic views of the cityscape, with its brightly lit skyline stretching to the horizon. At Naksan Park, the hilltop vantage point offers a different perspective—less crowded, with a view of the city’s lights flickering through the night air.

The private vehicle ensures your comfort and flexibility. The latest model cars (less than three years old) are equipped with air conditioning, which is perfect if you’re cooling off after a day of sightseeing in the summer or staying warm during winter nights. The drivers are professionally trained and insured—adding a layer of reassurance that your safety is a priority.

What sets this tour apart is the ability to modify your schedule entirely via the MOVV app. Want to linger at Cheonggyecheon for a while? Or perhaps grab late-night street food at Gwangjang Market? You can adjust your plan easily and on the fly.

Itinerary Highlights and What You Can Expect

Gwangjang Market and Naksan Park

Starting with a visit to Gwangjang Market offers a taste of local life and food options, even if it’s more lively during the day. In the evening, the market is a quieter place to soak in Seoul’s culinary scene. Just a short drive away is Naksan Park, where the city’s skyline unfolds beneath you. It’s a favorite spot among locals for the beautiful night views of Seoul’s old city walls and modern skyline.

Lotte Tower and Han River Parks

Another popular option is to visit Lotte Tower Observatory, which provides a sweeping view of Seoul’s glittering skyline from above. Then, you can drive to the Banpo Bridge, famous for its Rainbow Fountain show (though more spectacular during daylight, it’s still a sight at night). The nearby Yeouido Hangang Park offers a relaxed atmosphere, with illuminated bridges and the shimmering river.
