Gyeonggi Day trips

We had an amazing experience on the DMZ Tour! It was one of the most interesting and educational tours we’ve joined in Korea. The itinerary was well-organized, and learning about the history of the Korean Peninsula made the experience even more meaningful. A special thank you to our tour guide, Erica. She is incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in a clear, engaging, and easy-to-understand way. Her English is excellent, and her pronunciation and accent made it very easy for everyone in the group to follow along. She shared historical facts, answered questions patiently, and kept the tour both informative and enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Erica as your guide. She truly made the experience memorable. Thank you for such a wonderful day!

Simply a fantastic day! Steve is undoubtedly the best guide one could ask for: extremely kind, thoughtful, and very professional. The excursion is perfectly organized, with several moments of free time that allow you to fully enjoy Nami Island at your own pace. I highly recommend this excursion 100% if you want to have a great, pleasant, and stress-free time. Thanks again to Steve! 🥰🙏

I joined this tour as a solo traveller with the guide Na Hee. She did a great job by herself with staying organized, giving us information and managing the large group. She also adapted to the weather and adjusted the sequence of the stops so that we could get the best experience possible. The meeting point was quite easy to find, and the tour was organized well, even with the large group size. It was interesting to get insight into the DMZ and North Korea and my favourite part was the observatory where you can see into North Korea. Something to note is that most of the stops have a lot of photo/video restrictions due to it being a sensitive area. Overall a really fun experience and something very unique to do if you are in Seoul!

Great service from Baek, good explanations. Enjoyed my time at the Gondola, so cool also seeing the north korean flag from Dora observatory. Baek also entertained a lot of my questions. Thank you for the free lotte duty free voucher

I’ve done so many of the tours in Korea over the last two trips and this hands down my favourite. Alpaca World was awesome especially at 10am the Alpaca stampede and feeding. Nami Island is epic, wish I had more time but rent a bike for 30 mins and ride around its stunnning. The rail bike was such an incredible way to see the beauty of Korean landsacape and the tunnels have a fun surprise. Thank you Handsome Lanson.

the tour was very fruitful, packing all 4 core attractions in one day. there was sufficient time to stop at each attraction that it didn’t feel rushed. our tour guide Yamy was amazing and passionate:) she made sure to take care of everyone’s needs and was energetic the whole day despite the hot weather ⚡️💪🏼

Nara was a 100% excellent guide; if I could, I would give an even higher rating. Her knowledge and storytelling ability made this tour very valuable and interesting. The tour plan was 100% fulfilled – it was a fascinating journey through the difficult, yet very interesting, history of South and North Korea. Words of appreciation and huge thanks to our guide, Nara.

We had a great experience and learned a lot during the trip. Nova was an excellent tour guide who was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything enjoyable. We had a pleasant trip from start to finish and would highly recommend this tour to others. Thank you, Nova, for making our journey so memorable!

This time, due to the small number of participants, only our group of five friends signed up for the tour. The travel agency initially asked if we wanted to switch to another Chinese-speaking tour, but we felt an English-speaking tour would be fine. So, the travel agency arranged for a Korean driver who spoke basic English to pick us up from our hotel and take our group of five to the activities. The entire travel experience was simply delightful and unforgettable. I must emphasize that the driver was incredibly friendly and attentive. Our luggage was a bit heavy, and he proactively helped us carry it. He recommended local snacks to us 😋. Knowing we didn't speak Korean, he meticulously clarified details with staff at each attraction and guided us to the correct entrances. For example, when we went luge riding, he accompanied us up the mountain, guided us through putting on safety gear, and showed us how to choose our luge track. Additionally, during meal times, the driver carefully asked the restaurant owner about the barbecue steps and even cooked for us himself, allowing us to savor authentic local cuisine. Therefore, I sincerely want to thank the driver for making our trip so enriching 🫶🏻🫶🏻🥹. Furthermore, we were extremely satisfied with the itinerary and attraction arrangements. It felt like transitioning from a city walk in Seoul to a local tour exploring mountains and rivers. Hwagae Garden was beautiful; there were no other visitors in the early stages of our visit, so we had the entire place to ourselves and could take photos everywhere. Although there was an extra charge to take the monorail up to Hwagae Mountain Skywalk, the scenery was breathtaking. With blue skies and white clouds, walking on the skywalk offered panoramic views of the countryside and a glimpse of the North Korean border in the distance. The locals were also very friendly; even with the language barrier, they actively tried to communicate with us. The monorail ride was also worthwhile, like a slow roller coaster with butterflies fluttering around (this is true, there were many butterflies 🦋), offering beautiful scenery along the way. Gyodong Yongri Market is a small market with a few shops selling traditional local snacks that are hard to find in Seoul. They offered samples to visitors without any pressure to buy. The Jeju yuzu rice crackers recommended by the driver were delicious and highly recommended for purchase! Regarding the food, although the quality was just average, being able to personally experience the local barbecue culture and taste authentic local dishes being prepared was worth trying. The driver's cooking skills were excellent; it was my first time tasting such delicious instant noodles 🥹😋. I really want to ask him for his cooking tips. The luge ride was really exciting and fun, but unfortunately, the itinerary only included one ride. We had to pay extra to ride it two or three times. It was clear that the entire trip was a local tour, with only locals and no other foreign tourists. I really liked this aspect, as it allowed us to truly experience the local culture and the simple, rustic charm of the countryside. There were also very few people at the luge, so there was no waiting in line, and we were able to ride twice quickly. Finally, I want to sincerely thank the driver again. His attentiveness and dedication created an unforgettable memory for our group of five. I truly thank the driver (I hope he sees this review) for silently and diligently taking care of us. Driver, thank you so much! 🫶🏻
