Review for: [Classic Day Tour] Korean Folk Village & Suwon Hwaseong Fortress

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!

The best and very in depth explanation for learning traditional and history of south korea. Mr Chang, Joon is very proficient in speaking and explaining in English. This tour is for people who love to learn not only just sightseeing.

Jonathan is an extremely knowledgeable guide with a deep understanding of every attraction we visited. He explained everything clearly and went beyond standard sightseeing information by sharing insightful stories that made the experience truly special. It was clear that his level of knowledge is not something every local would have, and I genuinely appreciated learning from him. Even before the tour began, Jonathan thoughtfully guided us on how to reach the meeting point. Throughout the day, he was attentive to everyone’s needs and kindly helped us take photos, adding many thoughtful touches that enhanced the experience. Although visiting three places in one day can be tiring, Jonathan never made us feel rushed. He maintained a relaxed pace and introduced us to a side of Korea that felt new and refreshing. This was my third visit to Seoul, yet this trip felt completely different. I am truly grateful to have had Jonathan as our guide and highly recommend him.

Joon is a very knowledgeable and professional tour guide. He took the trouble to explain some parts of the Korea’s history, especially at Suwon Fortress. We thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary. Thank you Joon for braving the rain today with us! 🙏🏻

Very educational and enjoyable tour. Our guide Julia gave good information on the historical facts during our tour. The places were very traditional and different from the other modern tourist spots. The traditional performance at the theater was a nice bonus.

Review for: [Classic Day Tour] Korean Folk Village & Suwon Hwaseong Fortress

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.

Interesting day trip outside Seoul, even it was a rainy day. Two guides in the bus - one English speaking and on Chinese speaking and both of them are incredible! The info is easy to understand as we have earphones with us. The trail is good and market experience is great. Hope the option to visit Suwon library can be added.

The tour itself was a lot of walking and a bit challenging because of the heatwave but our first tour in Korea went great because of our guide, Laura. she explained the Korean history in great detail. She also made sure we are okay and even went out of her way after the tour to show us directions for a meeting place for our next tour.
