The driver is very nice and can speak Chinese. He helped me buy tickets and play 3+1. He also helped me take photos. When we arrived, he taught us how to play luge in Chinese. We had plenty of time and drove very safely.

This itinerary gave different insights to South Korea, compared to the usual Seoul tours. Tour was well-paced with a small group size. CJ was our driver-guide who explained well and shared alot about Korean culture and history. The savoury jajangmyeon that he recommended at Incheon Chinatown was also very delicious! The rail bike and luge rides provided scenic views, and the luge ride was especially memorable. Feeding the seagulls was fun as well!

I have been to Korea many times, but this trip was very fresh for me and my family. At the beginning, the weather forecast said it would rain, and we were afraid that the trip would be affected, but thankfully it was not affected 👏👏🎉, the luge was fun and exciting! Feeding the seagulls is also very special! Rail biking is a great way to enjoy the scenery and exercise along the way! And our leader CJ was very nice. He introduced a lot of Korean culture to us along the way and took a lot of beautiful photos for us. It really deserves 100 points of praise👏👏🎉

Enjoyed feeding the seagulls. There were so many! Had an amazing time for the luge ride and scenic rail bike too. Learned a bit about Incheon. Strongly recommend to try the savory Jajangmyeon and Three Kingdoms Seafood Noodle Soup at Incheon Chinatown. Unfortunately, the ferry for seagulls feeding was delayed by 1 hour, so we missed Haneul Park. Still had a great time overall!

Edward is a very cheerful tour guide. The restaurants he introduced are great, the food is delicious and the price is reasonable. Edward's words are humorous, which makes the trip more enjoyable. Thank you very much for his company. Finally, his photography skills are up to standard. Must remember to get him to take pictures for you

Gaiting Garden is really nice, the park layout is very beautiful, and you can also overlook North Korea. The whole attraction is highly recommended! Yangping Textile Factory is OK, it's a reconstruction of an old factory area, and it's OK to walk around. Overall, it's really convenient to charter a car with children. The driver will contact you the day before and pick you up at the hotel on time. It is highly recommended if you want to travel easily!
