We sincerely thank our driver, Nam, for this tour of the villages, especially Hahoe. He was a very pleasant driver who made every effort throughout the day to ensure we had an enjoyable experience. The language barrier was never an issue, as Nam used a very effective translation app. Thank you to him!

What a fantastic trip! I visited Dosan Seowon, Hahoe Folk Village, Wolyeonggyo Bridge, and Andong Lake. Even though I was the only person who signed up for the tour today, Mr. Lee still provided a thorough and engaging explanation (in English) throughout the entire journey. I learned so much about Andong's history and culture, and gained a deeper understanding of what life was like during the Joseon Dynasty. I believe this is truly the meaning of travel. The guide was incredibly enthusiastic and had a very kind smile. 100% recommended! :)
