The tour guide was very enthusiastic and professional in telling us the information about Everland. There was no need to queue up for the group entrance during the week. I rushed to make an appointment for Panda World as soon as I entered the park during the week. I was able to make an appointment for the first batch and saw the Panda family many times. It was a pity that I couldn't see the cats at the meeting time on the return trip, but the overall situation was smooth and the bus seats were very comfortable.

Have ordered many times, in addition to the tour bus round trip is very comfortable, the guide is very nice, and this time with panda world tickets, at the designated time can visit, although the weather is very hot, but not many visitors, so the afternoon lined up three times to see panda, only waited about fifteen minutes, very happy

Very happy with this booking to Everland. So convenient and easy. We just had to wait at the pick up point, sit comfortably on the bus and arrive at the destination. Tickets given at entrance and spent the whole day there free and easy. Then meet at bus, sleep soundly and get back to Myeongdong. The guide Phil is also very professional and friendly! We get priority entry at the gate as well as no queue for the Panda world. The only down side was we arrived at 930am and had to stand under the hot sun and wait at the entrance until 10am for Everland to open. Hope this can be improved.

The tour guide Stephen carefully assisted everyone in using the App and the precautions. We arrived at Everland at about 9:30 and entered the park on time. Although it rained heavily that day, there were few people. We went to Panda World 10 times. It was very convenient to have a special car to pick us up on the return trip! I will definitely book this trip again next time!

This is most satisfying for me by far. It is just few steps away from the train station. It has a convenience store nearby. And a local restaurant beside the hotel that serves a legit korean bbf and kimchi stew. The hotel serves free coffee and water. It has an elevator. And the ahjusshi at the reception was very nice. He even allowed us to extend our check out time for two hours. The room was spacious and what we loved about is it has a full vanity mirror. Suwon is such a best place to stay for at least 2days. So I highly recommend to book a stay in this hotel. It’s very cheap and yet the service is superb. I will definitely come back here. Thanks again! More powers 🫶🏻

This time I went to Everland, I mainly wanted to see the pandas "Bao Family", while my family wanted to see giraffes and other wild animals. We chose to join this day tour on weekdays because weekdays include priority admission to Panda World, and there are fewer tourists on weekdays, so the waiting time can be shorter. We entered Panda World at 10:40 in the morning. The "Bao Family" had a happy breakfast. Lebao was a handsome boy, Aibao was a beautiful girl, Ruibao and Huibao were so cute. After that, we visited Lost Valley and Safari World. Both of them took about 60-80 minutes to queue. We took a special car to see many animals, such as seeing giraffes eating and big black bears walking outside the transparent car. It was thrilling to see them pass by so close. In addition, Four Seasons Garden has a beautiful environment, with many SANRIO characters and a good place for taking photos.
