Review for: Half day Experience (6 hours)

we really enjoyed spending the day at the farm, having great conversations and discovering more about the korean culture. The hosts are great people with a vision, and it seems like they also want to share their way of life and knowledge. It was one of our best day over our trip, and we warmly recommand to take this tour.

A truly great experience! The instructor was extremely friendly, welcoming, and patient. He took the time to explain everything clearly and created a very warm atmosphere throughout the activity. We really enjoyed discovering the Gyeongju countryside and making chopsticks. It was an original, well-organized, and very enriching activity. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have an authentic experience in Korea. Thank you for this wonderful time!

I can't recommend this enough! This exceeded our expectations and we had a wonderful time. We thought we would just be wood burning some chopsticks and were pleasantly surprised when we learned we would be making chopsticks from blocks of wood before finishing them with wood burning. We then made kimpap and used our newly made chopsticks to eat with! Spending time walking around the village was also fantastic to learn about local agriculture and getting a real feel for the country in a different way than when in the big tourist areas. My wife and I along with our kids (ages 16, 18, 20) did several different experiences while in Korea and we all said that this was our favorite.
