Review for: [Sept 29-Oct 4th] Suwon Festival with Traditional Stage Art Performance

I have joined “The 62nd Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival One Day Tour from Seoul" and it was great ! The tour guide Joon (English spoken) and a very sweet lady (Chinese spoken), Shan Mei 善美 are very helpful and friendly. Strongly recommend Klook tours most of the times when overseas, my next trip with Klook is to Nami Island next month! Thanks Klook, Joon and 善美 ^.^

Truely a amazing experience and feel that we got to be part of something very special today by seeing this performance. Our guide Stella was so kind, and she took great care with us. She created a great balance of giving us history of the Seoul and time to explore on our own. Make sure to add on the tea ceremony as it was so fun to make our own snacks to eat with it and the hanbok rental was a bueatiful experience. As well as getting a tradition, professional photograph my guide Stella helped to take photos as I was solo travelling.

Better than expected. Suwon is a charming little city (especially the area near the fortress), very easily walkable and a nice quick little excursion outside of Seoul. I will recommend it to anyone who is looking to explore places outside of Seoul! The media art and dance performance in the Suwon palace in the evening was amazing. The tea and dessert making experience was also fun. Last but not least our guide Jonathan was also super nice, polite, and resourceful.

For the price, it was really exceptional! We didn't expect to be so spoiled. All the entertainment was great, the people of the city were friendly, we really loved it! I recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Suwon during next year's festival.

We really enjoyed this tour. Cecilia was a great guide and she was able to give us a great history preview about the festival and what it was about. Even though it was very intensive, the kids enjoyed being part of the parade which was total surprised by the way. We just wish we had more time to explore the area more and have time to take pictures without being rush but over all the shows/parade/palace was beautiful.

Review for: [Sept 28th] Suwon Festival with King Jeongjo's Royal Parade

A very worthwhile experience. On that day, an English-speaking and a Chinese-speaking tour guide led us to participate in the Suwon Culture Festival. The program was interesting and rich. The first one is to try on traditional clothes, and you have free time to wear them and take photos everywhere. After that, I enjoyed 3 very special performances. There are stage plays based on the theme of Jeongjo's mother and the history of the construction of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress. Korean traditional music and dance are added to the play, and the level is very high. The last night was a more artistic modern dance performance with special sound effects, and the standard was very high! During dinner time, I purchased a palace snack experience. You can make it yourself and taste a variety of unique snacks! Very nice~~

I highly recommend this Klook's 62nd Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival Day Tour! The "Korean Traditional Music Performance" was the most amazing part. The combination of traditional instruments and modern performance techniques was breathtaking, adding cultural depth to the entire trip. In the evening, they thoughtfully arranged a large-scale performance and reserved seats, so you can comfortably enjoy the show without queuing. The lighting and performance effects were so spectacular that they were unforgettable. Overall, it was a great value experience, highly recommended!

If you receive an email the day before your trip, you can join the travel agency’s chat room to facilitate contact. On the day of the trip, a 40-seater large tour bus arrived for both Chinese and English groups. The tour guide explained the history in the car so that we could understand the activities better. There is also information on the meeting place and time. good!
