Hwadam Botanical Garden & Korean Folk Village One-day Nature & Cultural Tour

Had a very nice experience, went in early April and manage to capture early foliage of sakura, not much but guess what, we found something more beautiful which is daffodils and azaleas!

Kim is early and his service was great! We spent about 2 hours at the forest include having lunch in the restaurant. Ended the tour and reached Myeongdong around 2pm.

must visit place during autumn. the view was magnificent. Great tour with just small group (mine was group of 7). sufficient time to explore the whole park. we reached around 10am and finished around 2++pm (incl lunch). lots of walking required with multiple rest point. it was a weekend so couldn’t get the monorail ticke (sold out)t. foreigner can only purchase it on site. the tour comes with a driver who will pick up and drop off only. Driver was friendly and tried to assist as much as possible.

Jin Guang is very professional. Guide was early to pick us up and we reached Hwadam Sup with enough tine to explore everything and even take the monorail. Not much autumn foliage on Oct 18, perhaps better luck in November.

“I will definitely book this trip again. The itinerary was great, and I appreciate that it’s a small group. The driver/tour guide was very nice.

Lucky communicated and arranged everything well. Unfortunately, the driver did not speak English which made it a bit hard to communicate and Lucky was not there in person to oversee everything. That being said, this tour is cheaper than others so manage your expectations accordingly. It gets you there and back well enough and the ticket is included. Sadly autumn came late this year so the foilage was mostly still green when I went on 28/10/2025

Hwadamsup is a nice place to visit especially during Autumn. Very beautiful place. However this is not a tour, more of a transport - driver picks us up and sends us back. Not very communicative in person but did set up group chat to disseminate information. If you're just going Hwadamsup, it's really quite a long time there which could be pushed forward (reached at 1030am, picked us up 4pm and reached back Hondae around 615pm). Only needed like 3-4 hours max and the pick up time could be shifted forward rather than sitting around to wait.

I had a great experience with the tour to Hwadam Sup I booked. Our driver was very polite, and we had ample time to enjoy the place thoroughly. I was highly satisfied with this trip.

driver was excellent. gave useful tips! admin can be improved coz they asked us to shift to another date as the min no. of pax could not be met. later on the trip could run again so it messed up our schedule....

Good communication prior & during the trip via Whatsapp, adequate timing for each place, transport is well maintained, our guide however a little bit impatient & sometimes can be a bit rush but we decided to ignore him & enjoy our dedicated time as per itinery, both places are really popular & packed during this time
