Reviews
Seeing the pink muhly grass fields and cosmos flowers makes for amazing photo spots. The Jinju Namgang Lantern Festival is very beautiful at night. Our tour group had 40 people, with 6 of us speaking Chinese, so they specially arranged Kelvin to be our guide, while the other 30-plus participants were led by an English-speaking guide. Kelvin was extremely attentive, gave detailed explanations, and even helped us find unique angles for photos along the way. He was very professional. In the evening, we went to the restaurant he recommended to try Jinju's specialty beef patties and naengmyeon (cold noodles), which were quite delicious.
The pink muhly grass does not bloom for very long, and since I happened to join the last tour group, the plants and scenery throughout the park were absolutely gorgeous 😋. Our second stop was the Luzhou Lantern Festival, which was on a massive scale with fantastic surrounding facilities—everything from food to entertainment was available 🍭. Our tour guide, Kaka, was extremely polite and provided very detailed explanations. Thank you so much 😘!
We traveled with Jake as our guide, and he provided good information throughout the trip. I wanted to experience the Lantern Festival in Jinju, although the journey from Busan was quite long. Along the way, We also stopped at a beautiful pink muhly grass field before reaching Jinju. Overall, it was a worthwhile travel experience and a nice opportunity to see something different. However, it wasn’t quite as impressive or exciting as we had expected.
Victoria and Branden were super nice, professional and super friendly. The time was respected in all the stops and there was time for eating and going to the restroom. I just wish we could have had more time in jinju because there are so many cool stuff to see that I got limited with time. I highly recommend this tour
Overall trip is very good. Our tour guide, Bobby Kim is very patient and helpful. Tour date: 09 Oct 2026
We had such a lovely day, the tour was really good, a special thank you to our tour guide Bobby Kim always very helpful, great at taking pics and did a brief explanation of the places we were visiting, he made the tour much more enjoyable. The pink muhly were beautiful and Jinju festival was incredible! Definitely recommend!
The muhly grass was truly a beautiful sight, and the Jinju Lantern Festival was equally enchanting. However, I felt that the time spent there was a bit too long, as there weren’t many activities or shows to engage with during the visit. That said, the guides were very helpful and pleasant, which made the experience more enjoyable.
fantastic day! Victoria was a fun and informative guide, the bus was clean and well navigated and all in all we didn't feel rushed and saw everything we wanted to see. 10/10
Victoria was an excellent guide! We really enjoyed the tour. The latern festival was my favorite part.
Thank you to our tour guide Kelvin for taking such good care of us today. The attractions we visited were all very beautiful, and the guide constantly helped us take pictures. It was a very smooth and wonderful day.
