Suwon Hwaseong Fortress/Haengung Palace/Starfield Library Tour

This is an essential tour. They show you the wall and Suwon Palace, and share many historical details. Philip is an excellent guide who ensures everyone understands the explanations, has fun, and can take home souvenir photos. We had the opportunity to do the archery activity because we had plenty of time; it's 3,000 won, very cheap and fun. During the visit, he also got us to the Suwon Palace exhibition on time, and for lunch, he took us to the exact spot to take a photo of the Starfield Library. Finally, the temple at the end is beautiful and peaceful. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes because you'll need them for walking. I loved it; it's a 10/10 experience.

We had an amazing time on our Suwon tour! The entire day was perfectly paced, with well-timed breaks in between stops. Our guide, Peter, was incredibly attentive—he constantly made sure everyone was accounted for and ensured nobody missed out on the best photo spots. Every site we visited was timed flawlessly, giving us just enough time to watch the shows while still allowing plenty of free time to explore on our own. Highly recommend Peter and this tour!

The tour we had today, with Peter leading our group, was great. He gave us insights and a short narrative of the places we visited which gave us a better understanding of it’s historical significance. The tour is well planned and adequately paced. Peter also gave tips on which areas to take good photos in the Hwaseong Fortress. Truly a great day well spent.

Suwon is a must see! Our tour guide Simon was a sincere guide who really explained a lot about the history of the places we visited and gave good advice on enjoying the attractions. One of the best tours in Korea in my opinion, especially as a fan of Korean historical drama like Dong Yi. The starfield library was a work of art to behold! The tour was right on time for the Joseon martial art performance too! All the attractions were well paced and worth every penny to visit!

I loved seeing the Hwaseong Fortress. It was so much easier for me to picture Seoul in the Joseon era after seeing the site. There is a lot of walking and it’s hilly but it’s beautiful. I thought the palaces in Seoul were more interesting but enjoyed seeing the destination of a famous historical event, the queen’s birthday party. Midday we stopped for lunch at the mall where the Starfield Library is located. It’s a pretty place and quite popular for selfies. folk village which I was happy to see. The houses are authentic although recreated onsite for historical interest. Through all of this our guide, Peter, was interesting, informative and fun.

I had an amazing time on this heritage tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul! The experience was both fun and incredibly informative, giving us a deeper appreciation for Korea’s rich history. Our guide, Peter Pan, was absolutely fantastic energetic, engaging, and clearly very knowledgeable. He brought the stories of the Joseon Dynasty to life in such an entertaining way that it never felt like a typical history lesson. Walking through iconic sites really helped us connect with the past, and Peter made sure to share fascinating details and anecdotes that you wouldn’t easily learn on your own. If you’re looking for a tour that combines history, culture, and a lot of fun, this is definitely the one to book. A truly memorable experience!

Our tour guide Peter Pan was amazing—truly knowledgeable and passionate about the Suwon area. He shared captivating stories about the history of the places we visited, making the experience even more enriching. The sites we explored were absolutely beautiful, and we had ample time to take photos and enjoy the scenery. This tour was definitely worth the money, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in experiencing Suwon. We are already looking forward to our next adventure and will undoubtedly join this tour again!

A real fun tour with a lot of history, highlighting the important parts/moments of each stop. Our tourguide, Peter Pan, knew how to keep our attention by telling stories with some jokes. We started at the Fortress, then went to watch the martial arts performance. Because it was a Sunday, the Starfield mall and Library were very busy. The caves were amazing to walk through. Would recommend!

Our guide Simon was the best! He made sure all tourists were accomodated and even used translations for all english, korean, and chinese. He made the tour super fun and memorable! The driver was also very good and made sure that the ride was smooth and safe. The tour was nicely spaced and the time for each attraction was ample. 5/5 ⭐️

The Fortress was very beautiful place to see, the guard show was also amazing . Our tour guide Peterpan was very nice, we did not feel rush at all, he was with us all the way through, we were given toilet break after every stop. His English was easy to understand. Among all the 3 tours we did, this one was very enjoyable and had enough time to spend at each stop. The cave was wonderful, so far it was the best cave i have seen (winery, aquarium, plantation, lights, 3D movies,etc..)Overall it was an amazing tour.
