Korean Folk Village, Suwon Hwaseong, Starfield, GwangmyeongCave Tour

Booked this tour to go with my family (with 2 elderly and 1 kid) - they all have a fantastic time ! Our tour guide Sally Park is very helpful, enthusiastic and shares a lot of interesting facts about Suwon and Korean history ! Sally is very fluent in Chinese and that’s really helpful for my parents to understand. The tour schedule is well-planned and comfortably paced. The activities are very family-friendly and good to learn about Korean culture. We also love that we get to visit a traditional market to get some local food and snacks before we head back to Seoul !

Highly recommended tour! The Korean tour guide, Steve, was extremely friendly and worked very hard to explain everything to us in Mandarin throughout the trip. Whether it was the rich history of the World Heritage site Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, the Starfield Library, or how a mine was transformed into the Gwangmyeong Cave tourist attraction, he introduced everything in great detail, leaving us with a very deep impression of each spot. Not only that, but Steve enthusiastically helped me and the other group members take memorable photos at every location, and on the way back, he thoughtfully dropped us off at Hongdae for some shopping. The overall experience was fantastic! 👍

We had a wonderful experience with TourStory, thanks to our amazing and beautiful tour guide, Seon-mi (善美)! Seon-mi was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing Korean history and culture. Throughout the tour, she shared plenty of interesting fun facts, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. She was also very attentive to our needs and made sure my elderly parents were comfortable throughout the tour. Her Mandarin Chinese was superb, and she explained everything so clearly and thoroughly that we learnt so much more than we would have exploring these attractions on our own. Suwon Hwaseong Fortress was absolutely beautiful, with its stunning scenery and fascinating history, while the Korean Folk Village was incredibly informative. Seon-mi’s engaging explanations really brought these places to life! Overall, it was a fantastic and memorable experience with TourStory. thank you Seon-mi (善美)!

What an amazing day! Our trip yesterday with Stella will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of our trip South Korea. Stella's friendliness, knowledge, humour and incredible driving skills made for a perfect day. The folk village was amazing, and the food spectacular. The walk along the fortress wall and learning the history was the highlight of the day, and the markets were fantastic experience. To top it all off, Stella is also BTS army and we had a sing-along on our trip back to Seoul. I can't recommend this trip enough!

It was such a pleasant trip! Everything was ontime and met the schedule well. Our guide June was not only directing us to the destinations but also delivering good storytelling about Korea's history. It really feels like an amazing experiential learning. She was also regularly checking the participants' condition since the weather was very hot. Overall the tour was satisfying and worth the price. Thank you!

Excellent experience — it genuinely felt like a private VIP tour. Our group was very small, only around 11 people, and we had two guides, one for the English-speaking guests and one for the Chinese-speaking guests. Everything was extremely well organized from beginning to end. The service was excellent, the transportation was very comfortable, and having such a small group made the whole experience feel relaxed, personal and almost like a private tour. The guides were attentive, professional and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day. I really enjoyed every part of the itinerary, and there was honestly nothing I could fault. One of the best organized tours I have taken in Korea. Excellent value and truly VIP-level service. Highly recommended!

If you want a glimpse into Korean history and culture from informative guides, then choose this one. Centuries of history summarised in a day, hard to do but Joon certainly did it. The cultural music and singing show was the highlight as the performers showed their amazing talent. Take cash for the market and if you haven't done the night market in Seoul then get dropped off at that station to experience craziness.

We had a wonderful day exploring the Korea Folk Village, Hwaseong Fortress, and Suwon Nammun Market. Joon is a great guide-- very knowledgeable and accommodating. We learned and have seen a lot of historical side of Korea during this tour. We highly recommend this tour!

I joined the Korean Folk Village and Suwon Hwaseong Fortress day tour, and was very fortunate to have Mr. Bian from Ktour story as our guide for the day. Although his Chinese pronunciation wasn't perfect, he was very proactive and worked hard to explain things to us, helping us understand Korean history and culture. When crossing the road, he made sure it was safe before letting us cross. He also did a great job with other small details. A responsible and attentive guide like this deserves our praise 👍

We are so glad we chose this tour. There were alot to see on this tour in a day and we definitely experienced a fantastic way to see Korea. Our tour guide June was fantastic throughout our tour. Our main highlight of this tour were the Gugak Experience. This overall was a fantastic 6 out of 5 Stars tour.
