Straightforward entry to Nami Island with the QR code. Ferry ride is just about 5-10 minutes per way. Visiting Nami Island is lovely and relaxing- adorable and cozy shops/cafe/restaurants, interacting with bunnies, getting a caricature made, nature stroll. Definitely a worth-it trip!

This is not my 1st time booking from this package and i really like how seamless the whole package ESPECIALLY for beginners. There are a good amount of coaches to student ratios and the transfers and communications were very stress-free with a group chat to sort the groupings up. The only downside was the quality of snow when I went on a sunny Febuary that has nothing to do with the team. However, for beginners who have zero clue on how to snowboard/ski this is the PERFECT package to start with at an affordable price with ALL of the necessary equiptments all covered. I went with snowboarding + lesson + ski lift pass, and these are included: helment, googles, coat, pants, shoes and board. 1 hour lesson on basics such as how to fall and braking. Plenty of time to self study as well, and mutiple routes for all stages of skill.

This day trip to "Fish Fly Valley Glacier - Italian Village - Petite France - Nami Island - The Garden of Morning Calm" was perfectly organized, completely satisfying all the attractions I wanted to visit. It was really great! A special thank you to our "Korean Guide ASA🌟" who, as a Korean, was not only professional and spoke Chinese, but also enthusiastically shared many authentic Korean food cultures and interesting stories with us, making the car ride not boring at all. The itinerary was not rushed and very comfortable, giving us plenty of time to take pictures and feel the charm of each attraction. The bus for the trip was spacious and comfortable. A little tip for those who want to join the tour in the future: remember to contact the supplier in advance to join the group to get information, and write down the bus number, so that the meeting will be smoother!! Thanks to Guide ASA, it was a really enjoyable trip. Thank you!
