beautiful place. my only regret was not to allocate more time for this beautiful island. words of advise, do check with your tour guide how much time you can spend in Nami Island before hand. allocate minimally 3-4 hours especially when travelling with children.

From the excitement and adventures of Alpaca World and Nami Island, to a relaxing scenery on the railbike - this tour was definitely worth the experience. Our tour guide, Shana was very enthusiastic, helpful and accommodating. However, the only point for improvement would be the beginning of the tour, as from the start the meetup was fairly chaotic and confusing due to the number of groups from the same company.

The instructions were to go and to collect the tickets where easy to understand. the rail park is away from soul would beautiful scenic roots and it's not too difficult to bike. includes the biking root themed tunnels romantic train and a shuttle back. you pay per bike so the amount of people match what is needed. We loved it.

An extremely eventful tour! Rich in historical events with moderate walking that is suitable for both young and old! Led by Andrew, who executed everything absolutely brilliantly, neatly, clearly, and professionally! He was exceptionally clear and knowledgeable about the many strict rules that needed to be followed, which made us feel safe with Andrew! There were also many famous locations from a popular K-drama! So Andrew is highly recommended, a definitive 5/5. Best regards, Oliver from Sweden!

Kenny was the best! The tour was very interesting, very educational and interesting to experience. There are plenty of stops to get food and go to the restroom. And the experience was overall worth the experience. We both enjoyed ourselves.

The Legoland Hotel is beautiful, with many great spots for photos. The rooms have Legos for kids to play with, Lego movies to watch, and even a treasure hunt game. After completing it, they receive a Lego gift. You can also see fireworks from the room (a big plus!), which made the kids very happy. The hotel also has many areas for building Legos, a playground, a swimming pool, and a Lego party in the evening. The theme park is right next to the hotel, so the kids had a fantastic time.

Amazing and highly recommended tour!
Our guide, Nelson, was wonderful, patient, and pleasant throughout the entire day. He explained everything clearly, was always available to answer our questions, and remained patient even when we repeated questions we had already asked 😊
The tour was very well organized, and everything ran smoothly. The pick-up and drop-off times were exactly as scheduled.
Alpaca World was really cute and enjoyable, and the Rail Bike was a fun experience and also a great place for photos. We chose to enter Nami Island by zipline, which was such a fun and special experience. The island itself is beautiful - perfect for a relaxing walk, enjoying the scenery, and of course taking lots of beautiful photos.
Overall, we had a fantastic day and would definitely recommend this tour!

This place is huge! We managed to make it in time for the 10.10am Alpacas coming down the hill which was exciting! unfortunately the fancy cafes serving the 🦙 shaped fried rice are only open on weekends and public holidays. however it is still a good experience exploring the various parts of the park and collecting the stamps 😅 There are also other animals such as 🐇, 🐐, capybara, 🦚 and many more!
