Seoul Suwon Hwaseong Fortress Full-Day Tour

It was a great trip, our tour guide was Andrew, he was very informative, funny, and helpful! Truly amazing! Out tour started at Wawoojeongsa Temple. He knew so much about the history and the great spots for pictures. Next stop was the Starfield Library and I manage to find the Korean version of Harry Potter. amazing picturesque place. we then went for lunch, Andrew gave an amazing reccomendation of Italian place “Call my Kitchen, and then we discover the best dessert shop with signature carrot shape cake (a must try+visit place). Later at Hwaseong Fortress, he knew so much info of the history and the picture spots. We did lots of walking. Lastly we went for kimbap making experience with tour about different type of seaweeds, which was delicious. Ended the day with the Habnbok dress up, it was but crowded than usual and Andrew told us the same, since other tours also was there. Overall it was an amazing experience, very worth the price. Andrew was an amazing guide and person. Reccomend.

I had a great time thanks to our guide 신윤주 who gave a lot of useful information on this trip and help me take some great photos though I travel alone. This trip is worthwhile since I can visit many sites in a day. Free time was given so besides Suwon Fortress, Starfield Library and Waujeongsa, I was able to visit Suwon Palace, Paldal Gate, Local Market and Local Temple around there too.

perfect itinerary for us as it was a mix of the old - Hwaseong Fortress & Waujeongsa Temple and the new - Suwon Starfield. Mother loves historical places while we love modern establishments.

The trip to Suwon was really fun. Our guide, SB, picked us up in his cool car and took us to Wawoojeongsa tempel in Yongin, Hwaseong Fortress & Starfield in Suwon, and Goyang. We had free time at every stop. At the end of the trip, we got to make kimbap and wear hanbok while taking photos. One of the most memorable experiences was going to Starfield Mall by car and parking there — it was our first time visiting a mall in Korea by car, since we usually take the subway.

I had the best time. Our guide Ruby made the difference, her insights and knowledge of the history were superb plus she's very funny and friendly. If you want to get out of Seoul, just 1 hour away, and enjoy the magnificent views and the quiet of Suwon this tour is a MUST. From practicing archery to walking for the cutest street full of IG's coffee shops., If you love Kdramas this is your place to find film locations (including Lovely Runner's Sol's House, Twenty-five, Twenty-one, and more) all of Ruby's suggestions were a plus. The Stanfield Library is unbelievable and different from the one located at Coex. Waujeongsa Temple is magical, relaxing, and with beautiful views Highly recommend it. Thanks, Ruby!!!

Enjoyed the tour with tour guide Ruby and a pleasant surprise to have only 3 people (including me) on the tour. It feels like a truly relaxing “private tour”. Love the scenary especially at Hwaseong Fortress and Waujeongsa Temple. Good lunch venue recommended by Ruby at Suwon. Overall, a day filled with good memories.

small group tour with 10 persons was great as was able to get to places on time and see everything on the itinerary. would have liked more time at the starfield library as it was a bit rushed. at least another hour would be good as there is a large shopping mall there so lots to see and eat. my friend bought a coffee and cake and didn’t have time to finish it. lunch options limited and not suitable for all. maybe lunch could have more variety of places to choose from like having more time at starfield mall for lunch and shopping.

I had an unforgettable last-minute trip to Suwon thanks to this tour! The city is serene and beautiful. Our guide, Andrew, was exceptional—friendly, accommodating, and insightful. Having toured South Korea multiple times, he stands out as the best guide I’ve ever had. This tour is highly recommend!

I joined the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress tour and had a fantastic experience. The tour was very well organized and packed with engaging, informative content. Our guide, Andrew, was outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience truly enjoyable. It was wonderful to explore the historical sites and architecture, discover beautiful photo spots, try on a Hanbok, and even make gimbap. Everything was thoughtfully planned and added to a memorable day. I highly recommend this tour—thank you for such a great experience!

We had a best time 10/10 recommended! Sean Kim, our tour guide was with us throughout the trip. He brings us to try the delicious and authentic lunch. Seaweed factory, gimbap making and hunbok experience are full of joy. Thank you so much for your kind service.
