Spring is the perfect time to explore Seoul, and this year I decided to hop on the famous Seoul City Tour Bus for a unique adventure!
Even though unexpected snow fell at the end of March (yes, snow instead of cherry blossoms!), the Tiger Bus made it easy, warm, and efficient to visit Seoul’s top attractions without relying on public transportation.
The bright red Tiger Bus instantly reminded me of the iconic double-decker buses of London—bringing back some sweet travel memories.
