Transport in Gangwon

Good experience riding the KTX train to Busan. Booked earlier for seat reservation. No need for physical ticket exchange - all via online using their Korail App.

Very easy to find the pick up location. Driver was kind, showed us where to buy the tickets and check the ferry times. Super cute island to explore! Absolutely loved it.

We had a great experience with our driver. Communication was excellent and he always responded quickly. He also recommended places to visit and restaurants to try which made our trip even better. Highly, highly recommended. We would definitely book with them again in the future!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Full marks, highly recommend! The Gangneung car charter experience exceeded my expectations! I arrived at Gangneung Station at 6:35 AM, with my car scheduled for 4:40 PM. After arriving, I got sidetracked trying to buy Gangneung Station apple juice, which took a long time. Initially, I couldn't find the meeting point and had no idea where to wait. It took a lot of effort to finally figure out that we were supposed to meet at the 'I' sign. While I was still feeling lost, the driver, wearing a red shirt, proactively approached and recognized me. Even though I was late, the driver was incredibly understanding and didn't complain at all. Throughout the journey, he was exceptionally thoughtful, concerned that I might be bored, and enthusiastically chatted and explained local customs and culture the entire time. During our casual conversation, I mentioned that I've loved K-dramas and K-pop since childhood, which is why I specifically came to Korea for this trip. To my surprise, the driver was also a Bigbang fan! He immediately played "Bang Bang Bang" in the car, and we sang along together, creating an amazing atmosphere! During the trip, he took me to a popular tofu restaurant and even offered to help take photos, finding great angles. The original plan was to charge an overtime fee at the end of the trip, but the driver ultimately didn't charge any extra fees. He was truly reliable and sincere. The driving was smooth, he was friendly, and the itinerary was flexible and relaxed. For anyone traveling independently to Gangneung, I highly recommend choosing this driver. My trip was filled with warmth, and I will definitely book him again next time I visit Gangwon-do!

Our driver Chaeyon Lee was the best❤️ She was very accomodating before the trip up until our drop off. She even booked our entrance fees beforehand and even call the restaurants to cook our meal to save some time. She also initiated to take our pictures. Will book this next time when we go back in Korea. Very recommended❤️✨

Our Nami Island tour was a much-needed trip away from the city-scene! It was so nice for our family to enjoy the cable cars, rail bikes, and island trip away from crowds -- it was all so refreshing! Special shoutout for our tour guide, BOB!! He was so sweet and nice, and was such a highlight of our trip! He really helped us throughout the trip: he planned everything with our preferences in mind, communicated so kindly, gave us insider tips, and accommodated our schedules! He gave us such great recommendations ~ we had so much fun and highly recommend Bob as a tour guide! It was really cool to experience the cable car with a glass floor, along with the scenery at the top. It's a manageable family-friendly hike with an impressive and rewarding view at the top. Our second experience, the rail bike, is an easy and enjoyable ride! Lastly, going to Nami Island was such a great way to interact with nature, animals, and history! Great experience, thanks to Bob!

There was a small mishap at the start of my tour where the driver thought the drop off time was my pickup time but the staff at the tourist centre were very helpful in following everything up and had the driver to me in 15 minutes. My driver ended up being amazingly helpful, kind and tolerant of my want to take photos! He even brought out a drone to take shots of me, which turned out beautifully (attached photos weren’t edited by me at all!)!! Would definitely book this again. Also, the tour starts at the perfect time—by the time you get to the bus stop, the lighting is great and there’s barely anyone there so you can take your time with photos. Just beware though that the driver may only take you to all of the stops if you ask for it. He only took me to two off the top of his head (I had to ask to go the the cafe street).

Chaeyeon is a very well recommended private driver when you’re looking for a private tour that you can curate yourself. She’ll also recommend what best fits in your schedule while maximising what you can explore. She’s also very accommodating and friendly to everyone on board her car and does things beyond her way just to give us the best experience in Seoul! Thanks Chaeyeon and we’ll surely see you on our next Seoul trip. Kansamnida! 🌸🥰
