We had a wonderful day in Andong, despite the torrential rain! Our driver, who didn't speak English, went out of his way to communicate with us. He put together an ideal itinerary, including the legendary Andong Bridge, Dosan Temple, Hahoe Folk Village with its traditional masked dance, and finally Byeongsan Temple. Not to mention a meal break at a typical local restaurant, where we got to taste local specialties! We relied completely on him, and we were able to do everything on time. A big thank you to our tour guide for the day! He even lent us umbrellas for the day.

What a fantastic trip! I visited Dosan Seowon, Hahoe Folk Village, Wolyeonggyo Bridge, and Andong Lake. Even though I was the only person who signed up for the tour today, Mr. Lee still provided a thorough and engaging explanation (in English) throughout the entire journey. I learned so much about Andong's history and culture, and gained a deeper understanding of what life was like during the Joseon Dynasty. I believe this is truly the meaning of travel. The guide was incredibly enthusiastic and had a very kind smile. 100% recommended! :)

We had a wonderful day with Greg touring Andong. Greg was very knowledgeable and able to bring the area to life for us.. he had a very clean and modern vehicle to travel around in comfortably and has a great insight into the day. He was extremely keen that we made the most of our time and the day was tailored to our specific requirements. Greg was very knowledgeable and was able to explain lots about the local area, and how it interacted with wider South Korea. Without any recommend this tour if you're looking for a day out in Andong.

We had a very memorable time in Gyeongju today, with the care of our warm and nice guides, Song and Mina. Their knowledge of Korean history is profound, and provided us excellent details on every tourist spots visited. They are extremely friendly in helping us with taking photos and giving us recommendations on good cafes and shops. Highly recommend joining Klook’s tour with Song and Mina~
