This is the best one we have booked from Klook so far. Yoon was our driver/ tour guide and he was prompt, polite, helpful and very knowledgeable. We started the ride and he said my first and utmost priority is your safety so I will drive carefully and that set the mood, keep us at ease and made the trip enjoyable and fun. Mt. Balwangsan and Samyang ranch are both really great addition to places to see while in South Korea. My family and I don’t ski but we love winter so experiencing snow in these spectacular places were definitely icing on top in our 2026 winter vacation. I’d like to recommend Yoon and I hope Klook books them more as I have been to many places and booked Klook many tlmes but this trip was by far the best one yet. We really felt we were taken care of. At some point we were given extra time for lunch and they were very patient with our group since we have 2 small children. Thank you again!
our guide tour Michael is very kind and friendly person, he helps us to take photo, and even sing a song to us, give us a very nice vibe. The view we go is very beautiful, the wind so heavy, and so cold. Btw, the food Michael suggested to us is very delicious! Overall feeling great today
we have a good experience during this trip. Our guide, Mr Michael very kind and friendly from start to end of this trip. He guide very thoroughly and help us taking pictures too. Thank you. The scenery are very stunning and beautiful. It worth the money🩷🩵
This was my favorite tour in Korea so far! The Balwangsan Cable Car ride was amazing, and the view from the mountain was absolutely beautiful. We had so much fun playing in the snowy field—it felt magical. We also really enjoyed the Samyang Ranch tour, especially the animal feeding experience, which was such a highlight. Yoon, our tour guide, was the best—friendly, attentive, and made the whole day even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
This trip went smoothly and interestingly with Mr. Michael as our tour guide... he made our trip full of historical stories and laughter... quick to think and act when something unexpected happened.. he also opened up a space for discussion on what was best for our trip...

Hope can join ur trip again next time.. thank u also for everyone cos make this trip smooth n fun.. I met another new n nice friend here.. till next time.. qamsahamnida
It was magical! Stunning sights of mountains from view point of Mt Balwangsan and also from the view point of Daegwallyeong ranch. It was breathtaking. And not to forget the bus journey, with its beautiful scenery along the way. Our guide of the day was Ms Lena. She was attentive and she conversed in English well too! She wad just lovely and even prepared seonmul for all participants. Not forgetting our driver was prompt and skilled. It was a comfortable ride to and fro. Sugo-haesseoyo!
It was cold and windy day so we finish our trip sooner. But honestly i had fun with our guide Billy and Jun, they are very friendly and helpfull. Billy even did challenge with one of the participants, so much fun!! Hope will have another tour with them!!
Hi and Goodnight, Mr. Sky, Apologies for the late feedback. Overall, my family thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Pyeongchang with you and Ms. Ruby. You’re incredibly kind and considerate, and I truly appreciate how respectful you are of others' religions. Your time management was excellent, ensuring that we didn’t miss any of the planned activities. Thank you so much for sharing and showing us the beauty of South Korea.
Thanks to our guide Jeesoo for bring us and guide us during the trip. Highly recommend this tour as really enjoy scene and have photo shooting by our tour guide.
Lena, our guide, was very enthusiastic and professional, and her Chinese was excellent. She provided us with thorough explanations and assistance throughout the entire trip, and she was always helping us take photos. Even though I came alone, I didn't have to worry about taking photos at all! I was very lucky to meet Lena. In her, I saw a highly contagious passion and dedication to her work. Seeing her smile made me feel warm inside. I hope I can see Lena again next time I come to Korea 🥹
