It was a great day of fun from start to finish! Transport was on time and it was clean & comfortable. Our guide, Aiden, was friendly and welcoming. Strawberry picking was really calm & relaxing and we were lucky to be the only group there. Guide Aiden briefed us on how to pick the strawberries and it was free & easy thereafter. Then, we were brought indoors to eat our strawberries and try some homemade strawberry jam, which was really delicious and we bought some:) Then, our guide drove us to Snowy Land. He made sure we had the right gears on, got our tickets, directed us to the entrance and it was free & easy time! Before entering, there is a good variety of food & other activities to play as well. In Snowy Land itself, there’s a good amount of sledding area and space to play with snow! There’s also a rest area to chill with small food items available. Once done, he came to pick us up. Journey back was smooth and relaxing! Thank you for bringing us safely from place to place:)

🌄 Our day trip to Seoraksan was absolutely amazing and very informative! Ruby/Yunjoo guided us perfectly throughout the trip — she helped plan an efficient and enjoyable itinerary, recommending the best spots to visit in Seoraksan National Park.
After exploring the beautiful mountain, we continued to Sokcho Market, where Ruby suggested delicious local foods for us to try. She even accompanied us to the main street. After that we headed to our last stop, Sokcho Beach. The weather and the view were just perfect, and Ruby kindly helped us take beautiful photos to remember the day.
As a tourist unfamiliar with Korea, I was really grateful for Ruby’s help. She not only guided us throughout the trip but also shared many great local recommendations — from food and souvenirs to cosmetic shops and hidden gems.
Thank you so much, Ruby, for your kindness, knowledge, and hospitality! You truly made our trip unforgettable. 💕

it was a great idea choosing the night tour, as its winter and very cold 5 hours at the park was perfect, the park wasn’t full so there was barely any waiting time for rides, had the best new years eve ever with the amazing kpop demon hunters fireworks show just before the park closed, such a memorable day.

Jak is a very patient and professional guide. It is my first time hiking at Bukhansan and he was pacing the hiking speed with me, making the hike was enjoyable. He also ensures safety of the hike by demonstrating the hiking method and assist me whenever necessary. Although I am going at a slower speed, Jak does not rush me and ensure that I am hiking in a safe manner. He provides options during the hike, allowing me to select which trail I’m more comfortable with. I would greatly recommend this activity to anyone coming to Seoul for a great nature getaway! You will not be disappointed!

I had such a fun and delicious time on the Kyochon Chicken tour! 🍗✨ It was exciting to visit a new location and experience Korea’s famous chicken culture from the inside. The hands-on part was simple - we only brushed the sauce onto the chicken 🎨🍗 but I completely understand that this is for safety reasons so guests don’t get hurt by hot oil 🔥😊 Even though the tour was more tasty than educational, I honestly enjoyed every moment. The atmosphere was super friendly, the staff were kind and helpful, and everything was organized really well 🤗💛 It felt light, fun, and perfect for anyone who wants to relax, laugh, and eat great food 😋✨
Overall, it was a delicious and memorable experience - definitely a 5star tour from me! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

Overall, I had a great experience! The service was excellent, and the staff were incredibly kind—especially the person who helped us with the entrance slips. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. My only small suggestion would be to add one more pasta option to the menu alongside the risotto. Other than that, everything was wonderful
