Gimpo Daemyeong Port tours

This time, due to the small number of participants, only our group of five friends signed up for the tour. The travel agency initially asked if we wanted to switch to another Chinese-speaking tour, but we felt an English-speaking tour would be fine. So, the travel agency arranged for a Korean driver who spoke basic English to pick us up from our hotel and take our group of five to the activities. The entire travel experience was simply delightful and unforgettable. I must emphasize that the driver was incredibly friendly and attentive. Our luggage was a bit heavy, and he proactively helped us carry it. He recommended local snacks to us 😋. Knowing we didn't speak Korean, he meticulously clarified details with staff at each attraction and guided us to the correct entrances. For example, when we went luge riding, he accompanied us up the mountain, guided us through putting on safety gear, and showed us how to choose our luge track. Additionally, during meal times, the driver carefully asked the restaurant owner about the barbecue steps and even cooked for us himself, allowing us to savor authentic local cuisine. Therefore, I sincerely want to thank the driver for making our trip so enriching 🫶🏻🫶🏻🥹. Furthermore, we were extremely satisfied with the itinerary and attraction arrangements. It felt like transitioning from a city walk in Seoul to a local tour exploring mountains and rivers. Hwagae Garden was beautiful; there were no other visitors in the early stages of our visit, so we had the entire place to ourselves and could take photos everywhere. Although there was an extra charge to take the monorail up to Hwagae Mountain Skywalk, the scenery was breathtaking. With blue skies and white clouds, walking on the skywalk offered panoramic views of the countryside and a glimpse of the North Korean border in the distance. The locals were also very friendly; even with the language barrier, they actively tried to communicate with us. The monorail ride was also worthwhile, like a slow roller coaster with butterflies fluttering around (this is true, there were many butterflies 🦋), offering beautiful scenery along the way. Gyodong Yongri Market is a small market with a few shops selling traditional local snacks that are hard to find in Seoul. They offered samples to visitors without any pressure to buy. The Jeju yuzu rice crackers recommended by the driver were delicious and highly recommended for purchase! Regarding the food, although the quality was just average, being able to personally experience the local barbecue culture and taste authentic local dishes being prepared was worth trying. The driver's cooking skills were excellent; it was my first time tasting such delicious instant noodles 🥹😋. I really want to ask him for his cooking tips. The luge ride was really exciting and fun, but unfortunately, the itinerary only included one ride. We had to pay extra to ride it two or three times. It was clear that the entire trip was a local tour, with only locals and no other foreign tourists. I really liked this aspect, as it allowed us to truly experience the local culture and the simple, rustic charm of the countryside. There were also very few people at the luge, so there was no waiting in line, and we were able to ride twice quickly. Finally, I want to sincerely thank the driver again. His attentiveness and dedication created an unforgettable memory for our group of five. I truly thank the driver (I hope he sees this review) for silently and diligently taking care of us. Driver, thank you so much! 🫶🏻

Our driver Mario does not speak english but he was still very accommodating and tried his best to speak to us. He made sure we were comfortable on the car and before the Luge he tried his best to explain to us the ride so we were safe and we had fun. I would still recommend this to other english speaking tourist as our driver Mario was very kind and accomodating.

We had a wonderful day with Edward! Our is small group of 8 traveled in a comfortable private van. We had so much fun doing the luge, feeding the seagulls, and exploring the Fairy Tale street in Chinatown. Edward was very patient and helped us take many great photos. He also recommended a delicious noodle restaurant for lunch. Highly recommended

I'm truly satisfied! This is the first time I've seen a tour with such a great price, yet such a rich and high-quality itinerary. The tour guide, in particular, was incredibly kind and thoughtful. 10 out of 10 for quality!

The luge was cancelled due to strong winds, which was disappointing since it was the main attraction. I would have appreciated it if the organiser had checked the weather before we set off. However, we were refunded the luge ticket. On a positive note, the driver provided helpful information throughout the trip. Do note that he spoke Chinese.

The itinerary only included two places, but since they were in the Seoul suburbs, this schedule was just right; we didn't get back too late. We got to ride the luge five times, and the food at the park's restaurants was delicious. Our tour guide was punctual and very friendly; besides introducing the surrounding area, they chatted with us like friends. On the way back, they asked where we wanted to go and drove us directly there. It was truly a wonderful trip and highly recommended!

I’ve done so many of the tours in Korea over the last two trips and this hands down my favourite. Alpaca World was awesome especially at 10am the Alpaca stampede and feeding. Nami Island is epic, wish I had more time but rent a bike for 30 mins and ride around its stunnning. The rail bike was such an incredible way to see the beauty of Korean landsacape and the tunnels have a fun surprise. Thank you Handsome Lanson.

The luge ride was a lot of fun! First, you take the cable car up, and the scenery is also beautiful. Along the way, there are several cameras that take photos of your luge ride. You can print one photo, and the rest can be downloaded. 👍 Our guide said it's available all year round unless there's severe wind or rain. We came in June, and the weather was great. The hillsides were covered in beautiful flowers. In winter, the hillsides are covered in snow. The Hanjeongsik (Korean set meal) was also wonderful, allowing us to experience various Korean side dishes. The Choyang Textile Cafe has beautiful decor, and their famous salt bread, coffee, and desserts are all excellent. The handkerchief stamping experience was also fun, but it's only 20 minutes, so everyone needs to be quick, haha. You can take it home as a souvenir. 😄 Many thanks to our guide today, Sammi, she was great!
