the tour was very enjoyable and the highlight was the strawberry farm! it was a really fun experience and we get to try the farm’s own strawberry jam. Herb island looked promising too but because of the heat, we weren’t able to explore much :( one thing’s for sure, you need to wear your most comfortable shoes and prepare for all the walking :”) our tour guide MAC was also very friendly and accommodating! he also recommended other places in seoul we can visit and restaurants to eat :)

Walking into Pocheon, South Korea, is like unfolding a magnificent landscape painting. The water of Sanjeong Lake is as clear as a mirror, with mountains reflected in it, and the vast momentum hidden in the tranquility. Boating on the lake, the breeze blows on your face, and the surroundings are lush and green, as if only nature and I are left between heaven and earth. The Dove Pond Waterfall is a visual and auditory feast. The waterfall rushes down from the cliff, and the mist is like smoke, which makes people's heartbeats accelerate and feel the majestic power of nature. In the garden of Vanilla Island, the colorful vanilla and flowers compete with each other, and the air is filled with rich fragrance, which instantly brightens people's mood. From mountains and rivers to the fragrance of flowers, Pocheon has written an unforgettable journey for me with its magnificent and delicate scenery.

The tour was fun! Our guide, Edward is amazing! He is knowledgeable and approachable. He also helps to take photos at his secret photo spots and sets the bar high for his phototaking skills. He is also very willing to share and recommend places/food even when i contacted him after the tour! He made everything a breeze! The tour itself was nicely paced with sufficient time at the various beautiful locations.

We had fun on this tour! Our tour guide Edward is so kind and very willing to take pictures for us. Everyone liked how he takes pictures and even lining up to get his help to take one, LOLs! I loved how LECIRT, the tour agency, contacted us in advance to inform us a minor change in the itinerary to manage expectation. We're even glad with the minor change and we had a chance to go strawberry picking which initially not part of our booked itinerary. The strawberry was so delicious and their strawberry jam too! The strawberry jam is a perfect "pasalubong" or simply buy it for yourself. If you're looking for an itinerary outside the city, this is definitely something you can try. 😊

We went in April and were surprised by a beautiful blanket of spring snow. Our guide, MAC, truly made the trip special. He was warm, accommodating, and incredibly knowledgeable, always offering tips to help us enjoy the journey even more. Communication was smooth from start to finish, and we loved that the pickup and drop-off were right at our accommodation so we didn't have to go to MyeongDong - super convenient. Getting outside the hustle and bustle of Seoul was refreshing, and Pocheon was simply picturesque. Highly recommend this tour if you're looking to explore beyond the city.
