We had an amazing experience on the Eobi Ice Valley, Alpaca World, Nami Island, and Garden of Morning Calm day tour, and a huge part of that was because of our tour guide, Edward.
Edward was easily the most accommodating and helpful guide we’ve had during our stay in Korea. From the start of the trip until the end, he made sure everyone was comfortable, informed, and enjoying every stop along the way. He explained each destination clearly, gave helpful tips on where to go, and managed the schedule very well so we never felt rushed.What really stood out was how attentive and kind he was to everyone in the group. He was always willing to help, answer questions, and check if anyone needed assistance.
A special mention as well Edward is an excellent photographer!He happily helped take photos for us and knew the best spots and angles, which gave us some of our favorite photos from the trip.
Thank you, Edward, for making this tour such a memorable and enjoyable experience.Highly recommended!

it was really amazing experience and actually at very good timing. Friday at this season a perfect moment to visit all of these spots, without crowds of tourist, we had a lot of possibilities to enjoy and have places for ourselves. itinerary is great. 1 hour of driving and up to 2 hours to visit each of the places. you don’t feel tired. Bus was comfortable, not fully packed, Joe was very helpful and guided us through all the trip.

We had an amazing experience on the DMZ tour in Korea, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Roy. He was incredibly informative, explaining the history and significance of each stop in a way that was easy to understand and genuinely engaging.
The tour itself was definitely a bit tiring with all the walking and moving from place to place, especially if you’re with elders but it was absolutely worth it. Despite the long day, we had so much fun and learned so much. It was such a unique and meaningful experience — something we’ll always remember.

My first skiing experience was so lucky thanks to Mr. Shin! I was a bit nervous at first, but the instructor taught carefully and spoke humorously. He sends a message to notify you the day before the trip, so you don't have to worry at all. If you have trouble choosing ski clothes, it's recommended to pick your favorite color scheme in advance so you don't spend too much time looking around when you get there. The trip departs at 7:00 AM, you change into your snow gear and ski clothes at 9:30 AM, and arrive at the ski resort at 10:00 AM. In reality, teaching, skiing, and eating time is about 4 hours, which I think is plenty. The ski resort facilities are complete, and booking through Klook also gets you access to an exclusive lounge with iced and hot water. In conclusion, my husband and I were very satisfied with this ski trip 👍🏻. Thank you very much, instructor! 😊

The running alpacas were so cute, and the feeding experience was a lot of fun. It's a pity that the little ones were all surrounded, so I didn't get to feed the cute little alpacas. It was very cold that day, so touching the fur on the alpacas' backs was very warm XD
It's a bit of a shame about the Gangchon Rail Bike. I was originally most looking forward to this part of the trip, but I don't know if it's because the equipment is old, but many of the special effects weren't as amazing as they were 7 years ago. Plus, the winter scenery was a bit dull, so I was quite disappointed...
Nami Island is still really beautiful. I heard before that Nami Island has four different views in four seasons. Last time I went was in autumn, and this time in winter they had changed the scenery and it was so beautiful. It's just that 2 hours really isn't enough. We walked and took pictures the whole way and only got halfway. Next time I go, I think I'll just choose the alpaca farm + Nami Island! Finally, I'm very grateful to our driver + tour guide Kim Hak for giving us a complete itinerary experience. The barbecue restaurant for lunch wasn't cheap, but it was delicious! It's really great to be able to sleep on the bus and have fun at the destinations on a day trip!

ARMYs, you have to book this tour! We were only 6 in the tour so we had the whole In The Soop house to ourselves! Ms. Sunny, our tour guide, was so so sweet too! She made sure we had enough time to take lots of pictures and enjoy the places. The tour wasn't rushed! She also took us to a nearby area to have lunch. CHOOSE THE KOREAN RESTAURANT! Their buckwheat naengmyeon and suyuk tasted sooooo amazing! The owner was so kind as well! She gave each of us a bottle of toasted buckwheat so we can make our own buckwheat tea. Overall, this tour is an excellent choice for ARMYs! Also, thank you to the new ARMY friends we made during this tour! It felt like we new each other for a very long time! 💜
