Things to do in Suwon Hwaseong Fortress

it is a great one day itinerary if you are short on time and want to complete a lot of things in one day like myself. The Tour guide shared the in-depth knowledge about the past of South Korea, which contributed a lot in my knowledge. It is always good to know about the history of some place to understand better about its present and relate to it. Glad I made it on the Tour. The ride was very comfortable. The martial art and the folk dance was amazing. I wish to go back and visit Suwon at my own pace someday in future.

This trip was outstanding, largely thanks to our tour guide, Eva from VIP Travel. From the moment she introduced herself to the end of the tour, she was incredibly helpful. She made the experience fascinating by sharing the history and interesting facts about every stop. Eva stayed with us the entire time, guiding us through all the must-see areas so we didn't miss a thing, and she patiently answered all our questions. Thank you so much, Eva!

I really enjoyed the trip especially our tour guide Peter Pan who not only supported us during the trip but also shared with us a lot about Korean culture and history which made me understand more about the place I was. so amazing and peaceful, just a bit sunny and hot as it was summer.

Peter Pan, our guide for the day, was excellent and professional. Clear explanation of historical events. The stop at Starfield could be slightly longer to cater time for queuing for lunch. Overall, very good experience!

Our guide, Mr. Park, spoke excellent Japanese and provided us with detailed information about Korean history and recommended photo spots. We had a wonderful experience walking leisurely through Suwon, from the bright daytime until the moment the city lit up. Thank you very much.

We travelled from Scotland and even though we've been to Korea before this is one place that we havent visited! Simon was very enthusiastic and kept the suspense when telling the stories that made you want to run to the next part to find out what happens next! Although there was alot of walking involved, Simon was very accommodating to my parents who had to take their time and we still were able to view everything and weren't rushed for time. We really enjoyed today, would easily recommend this to anyone looking to visit Suwon.

This time, three of us participated. The meeting point was Exit 10 of Myeongdong Station. Since it was my first trip to Korea, I was a little worried, wondering, "Is this really the right place?" But our guide, Dragon, called out my name, and we quickly met up. Dragon was very pleasant and spoke excellent Japanese, so I felt at ease joining the tour from the moment we met. On the day of the tour, the surrounding roads were heavily congested due to a demonstration, so we walked a short distance from the meeting point. There, a large black van was waiting for us. We were then told, "Today will be a private tour just for you all," which made for an unexpectedly special start. During the journey, Dragon meticulously explained the history of Korea and Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, making the approximately one-hour travel time fly by. It was a very enjoyable and meaningful time. Upon arriving at Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, a classical concert was taking place, and it was bustling with many people. Dragon guided us through the areas where the kings lived, explaining everything so clearly that even I, who am not usually keen on history, found it fascinating, making the tour increasingly enjoyable. Furthermore, one of my companions had a leg injury. When we mentioned this, Dragon made thoughtful arrangements, such as changing the itinerary, which was originally entirely on foot, to include car travel. This was very considerate. The photography was also excellent; Dragon took many photos for us at every scenic spot, creating wonderful memories. The driver was also very careful and reassuring, making our travel comfortable. Dragon and the driver, thank you so much for a truly enjoyable time. As a personal impression, this tour was outstanding in every aspect: the guide, the content, the service, and the attentiveness. It was a particularly memorable experience during this trip to Korea. I highly recommend this tour to anyone planning a trip to Korea; it's an experience you definitely shouldn't miss.

Enjoyed the tour. Was debated if I should go on my own but decided to go on this for convenience. Turned out to be a small group of under 10 pax so it was great! Our guide, Richard was attentive & friendly & as I was on my own, he volunteered to take many pictures for me. I also told him I’m learning Korean & he gladly spoke Korean to me so I could practice. The tour’s a good pace (expect a lot of walking tho!) & Richard also shared a lot of history about the places. Highly recommend!
