Review for: [Winter] Balwangsan Cable Car & Daegwallyeong Sheep Ranch in Snowy Highlands

This is the best one we have booked from Klook so far. Yoon was our driver/ tour guide and he was prompt, polite, helpful and very knowledgeable. We started the ride and he said my first and utmost priority is your safety so I will drive carefully and that set the mood, keep us at ease and made the trip enjoyable and fun. Mt. Balwangsan and Samyang ranch are both really great addition to places to see while in South Korea. My family and I don’t ski but we love winter so experiencing snow in these spectacular places were definitely icing on top in our 2026 winter vacation. I’d like to recommend Yoon and I hope Klook books them more as I have been to many places and booked Klook many tlmes but this trip was by far the best one yet. We really felt we were taken care of. At some point we were given extra time for lunch and they were very patient with our group since we have 2 small children. Thank you again!

Review for: [26 KOREA GRAND SALE] Balwangsan Cable Car & Daegwallyeong Sheep Ranch + Gift

This was my favorite tour in Korea so far! The Balwangsan Cable Car ride was amazing, and the view from the mountain was absolutely beautiful. We had so much fun playing in the snowy field—it felt magical. We also really enjoyed the Samyang Ranch tour, especially the animal feeding experience, which was such a highlight. Yoon, our tour guide, was the best—friendly, attentive, and made the whole day even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Hi and Goodnight, Mr. Sky, Apologies for the late feedback. Overall, my family thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Pyeongchang with you and Ms. Ruby. You’re incredibly kind and considerate, and I truly appreciate how respectful you are of others' religions. Your time management was excellent, ensuring that we didn’t miss any of the planned activities. Thank you so much for sharing and showing us the beauty of South Korea.

Lena, our guide, was very enthusiastic and professional, and her Chinese was excellent. She provided us with thorough explanations and assistance throughout the entire trip, and she was always helping us take photos. Even though I came alone, I didn't have to worry about taking photos at all! I was very lucky to meet Lena. In her, I saw a highly contagious passion and dedication to her work. Seeing her smile made me feel warm inside. I hope I can see Lena again next time I come to Korea 🥹
