Review for: Oct 7-10 | Yajo Night Military Drill Stage Performance

Better than expected. Suwon is a charming little city (especially the area near the fortress), very easily walkable and a nice quick little excursion outside of Seoul. I will recommend it to anyone who is looking to explore places outside of Seoul! The media art and dance performance in the Suwon palace in the evening was amazing. The tea and dessert making experience was also fun. Last but not least our guide Jonathan was also super nice, polite, and resourceful.

Truely a amazing experience and feel that we got to be part of something very special today by seeing this performance. Our guide Stella was so kind, and she took great care with us. She created a great balance of giving us history of the Seoul and time to explore on our own. Make sure to add on the tea ceremony as it was so fun to make our own snacks to eat with it and the hanbok rental was a bueatiful experience. As well as getting a tradition, professional photograph my guide Stella helped to take photos as I was solo travelling.

Review for: Oct 4 | King Jeongjo's Royal Parade

We really enjoyed this tour. Cecilia was a great guide and she was able to give us a great history preview about the festival and what it was about. Even though it was very intensive, the kids enjoyed being part of the parade which was total surprised by the way. We just wish we had more time to explore the area more and have time to take pictures without being rush but over all the shows/parade/palace was beautiful.

Review for: Oct 5-6 | Media Art Night Performance

Cecilia was a great guide and gave us a lot of information during the tour plus plenty of free time to eat and enjoy Suwon on our own. I misunderstood that the Suwon History Museum was a suggestion for our own time, but will plan to visit separately. Otherwise, a wonderful tour of a historic place during a big festival. Apparently most of my photos are larger than Klook will allow

For the price, it was really exceptional! We didn't expect to be so spoiled. All the entertainment was great, the people of the city were friendly, we really loved it! I recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Suwon during next year's festival.

I highly recommend this Klook's 62nd Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival Day Tour! The "Korean Traditional Music Performance" was the most amazing part. The combination of traditional instruments and modern performance techniques was breathtaking, adding cultural depth to the entire trip. In the evening, they thoughtfully arranged a large-scale performance and reserved seats, so you can comfortably enjoy the show without queuing. The lighting and performance effects were so spectacular that they were unforgettable. Overall, it was a great value experience, highly recommended!

Review for: Oct 4 | King Jeongjo's Royal Parade

A very good and fun experience. The guides did their best to ensure that we profit at maximum of the visit. An improvement would be to specify in the itinerary the participation to the parade. Some people would probably prefer to just see it and not be inside. But for those who want a very particular experience, i strongly recommend it !

I have joined “The 62nd Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival One Day Tour from Seoul" and it was great ! The tour guide Joon (English spoken) and a very sweet lady (Chinese spoken), Shan Mei 善美 are very helpful and friendly. Strongly recommend Klook tours most of the times when overseas, my next trip with Klook is to Nami Island next month! Thanks Klook, Joon and 善美 ^.^

Our guide, Seonmi Han, shared the story of King Jeongjo, which deepened my appreciation for the festival's origins and truly moved me. She also let me try on a men's Hanbok, and we took many beautiful photos, which made me very happy. Beyond that, Suwon offers various traditional Korean cultural activities and shopping streets. The ample free time allowed me to visit many places I wanted to see. The Korean female dancers' movements in the performance were decisive and full of power, captivating me and making it well worth watching.
