Suwon Hwaseong Fortress ture

Our tour guide was Philip, and the tour was absolutely fantastic! It was very diverse and interesting, with plenty of time at every stop to explore and enjoy the sights. What made the tour truly special was Philip himself. He shared so many fascinating stories and interesting facts, kept us laughing throughout the day, and made sure we were never bored with his enthusiastic and entertaining personality. On top of that, he took amazing photos of us at every beautiful spot, giving us wonderful memories to take home. We had an incredible day and would 100% recommend this tour, especially with Philip as your guide! Thank you, Philip, for making this experience so unforgettable!

Nød turen. Jeg overvejede, om jeg skulle tage afsted alene, men besluttede mig for denne tur for nemheds skyld. Det viste sig at være en lille gruppe på under 10 personer, så det var fantastisk! Vores guide, Richard, var opmærksom og venlig, og da jeg var alene, tilbød han at tage mange billeder for mig. Jeg fortalte ham også, at jeg lærer koreansk, og han talte gladeligt koreansk med mig, så jeg kunne øve mig. Turen har et godt tempo (forvent dog en del gang!) og Richard delte også meget historie om stederne. Kan varmt anbefales!

Denne tur var enestående, primært takket være vores guide, Eva fra VIP Travel. Fra det øjeblik hun præsenterede sig selv til turens afslutning, var hun utrolig hjælpsom. Hun gjorde oplevelsen fascinerende ved at dele historien og interessante fakta om hvert stop. Eva var med os hele tiden, guidede os gennem alle de steder, man bare måtte se, så vi ikke gik glip af noget, og hun besvarede tålmodigt alle vores spørgsmål. Tusind tak, Eva!

Thanks to the delightful guidance of Yu-san, also known as Tama-chan, two hours flew by in an instant. At the end, she accompanied us by bus to Hwaseomun Gate, where we were able to enjoy a projection mapping show. This was my second visit to Hwaseong Fortress, but Yu-san showed us places I hadn't noticed before, and areas I would never have ventured into without her guidance, making it a very meaningful experience. If I have the chance, I would definitely love to have her guide us again. Thank you, Yu-san.

We had originally booked a slightly different itinerary, but the tour changed and there were not enough participants on our original date. The organisers were very efficient and communicated the changes and our options clearly. We and another pair ended up with a private van and driver, who dropped us at all the pick-up points on the itinerary. The whole process was very easy. The itinerary and meeting point instructions were very clear. We even had a K-drama list sent to us on Google Maps so we could find the locations ourselves, which was so helpful. We had almond lattes in the cafe which they filmed Sol's house in Lovely Runner, and the small shop they also filmed at had some Lovely Runner merchandise as well. Starfield Library in Suwon is much better than the one in Gangnam, and we had plenty of time to shop in the department store as well. There was also a reenactment at the temporary palace near the fortress which was great. Very impressed with the tour organisers!

Havde en så dejlig oplevelse ved Hwadamsup 🌸 og jordbærplukning 🍓 ✨ Det var lidt anstrengende at gå op ad bakken ved Hwadamsup, men de smukke blomster og fredfyldte omgivelser gjorde det hele værd – virkelig turens højdepunkt. Vi gik op for at nyde den fantastiske udsigt og tog derefter svævebanen ned igen bare for oplevelsens skyld 🚡 Min søn var også så glad for at plukke jordbær 🍓🥰 En stor tak til vores turguide Alvin – han er tosproget og taler kinesisk, engelsk og koreansk så godt! Han var meget informativ og gjorde hele turen endnu mere fornøjelig. Også en tak til vores venlige chauffør, tak for din varme og for at få min søn til at smile med en sød lille gave 🫰 Kan varmt anbefale denne tur til alle, der planlægger at besøge Seoul 🇰🇷💖

Excellent experience — it genuinely felt like a private VIP tour. Our group was very small, only around 11 people, and we had two guides, one for the English-speaking guests and one for the Chinese-speaking guests. Everything was extremely well organized from beginning to end. The service was excellent, the transportation was very comfortable, and having such a small group made the whole experience feel relaxed, personal and almost like a private tour. The guides were attentive, professional and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day. I really enjoyed every part of the itinerary, and there was honestly nothing I could fault. One of the best organized tours I have taken in Korea. Excellent value and truly VIP-level service. Highly recommended!

Vi havde Nicole med på vores halvdagstur til Suwon, og hun var fantastisk! Hun var utrolig vidende om historien og god til at forklare de forskellige områder og historier. Hun var så selskabelig, sjov, let at tale med og oprigtigt interesseret i at vide, hvor vi kom fra, og i at dele sin viden – især om forskellige områder og hvad man skulle være opmærksom på. Vi var heldige at få en privat tur og vil helt klart anbefale denne tur, da de har givet min partner og mig en stor forståelse af historien bag Hwaseong-fæstningen og -paladset og givet vores rejse en fantastisk start!

Top days of our trip to Seoul, no doubt! We went to the Library, then to the Market, then to the Fortress and finally to the Folk Village. Our guide, Johan, changed the intinerary a little bit in order to avoid the heat. What a good call. Johan is also one of the nicest guys on Earth. He drove us and explained us some things about each place, but also gave us time to enjoy ourselves there (which we appreciate). The performance with the led lights in the Folk Village was amazing. Try to watch it (it’s at night) if you can. Slow Korea has been a very good experience for us. They deserve +100 reviews with 5 stars IMO 👏🏼👏🏼
