Our tour guide was very friendly to approach! Started the tour with Garden of the Morning Calm to Nami Island then to Railbike. Opted to take zip line to Nami Island — it was worth every dollar! Also opted for private railbike too!

We had a great trip with Thomas. The day went very smoothly, and during our travels, we received an introduction to the next destination each time. The explanations were clear and sufficient, without overwhelming us with details. Highly recommended!

it was a great experience visiting the DMZ with an experience and fun loving tour guide (Spring). The only disappointment is that we are not allowed to take picture in the observatory and tunnel. apart from that we had a great time. Thanks Spring!

a beautiful full day experience. Dana has been a wonderful guide always taking care of us. Alpacas were amazing and in the park you have a lot of animals to see (capibaras too!). Nami island (please use the zip wire) is a paradise and I recommend you to hire a bike (tandem if possible). Morning calm is a beautiful garden and the perfect place to end the tour. recommended!!!

Tino was the best guide ever. He was so great at explaining our tour sites and was very entertaining as well. My wife and I loved Seoraksan National Park (the 3rd waterfall hike is a doozy, though). There is so much more to see and explore. The seaside temple was beautiful! Tino was awesome with taking pictures of my wife and I. We had a wonderful time on this tour and would love to have Tino as our guide again.
