Gwangju's free guided walking tours combine local heritage sites with an interpreter's explanations. The official Cultural Tourism Guide reservation listing describes four routes: 1. Geumdokkaebi Theatre: May 18 Archives → Geumnam-ro Park → Gwangju Theatre → Dokkaebi Alley; 2. Osaek Godam-gil: Seokseojeong → Huigyeongru → Gwangju Park → Gwangju Hyanggyo → Sajik Park; 3. Uiridan-gil: Gwangju History and Folklore Museum's outdoor stone exhibits → Jo memorial gate → March 1 Monument → Ahn Jung-geun Memorial; 4. Gobak-gil: Kim Yong-hak's house → National Gwangju Museum outdoor exhibits → museum interior. Parties of 1–20 should request a booking at least a week in advance by calling 062-611-3624 or emailing [email protected], giving the date, time, party size, course number and contact details. Importantly, the online portal currently marks this route 'local government opening preparation / reservation unavailable'. Do not assume an online reservation is accepted: confirm access by phone and ask if your chosen route can run.
