Ms Rachel is the best tour host ever! This tour is a must whenever you visit South Korea! Do not skip this tour, it is highly recommended especially if you are a BTS / Suga Fan or K-Drama fan. Taking the transit going up the hill is recommended for a small fee. The majestic views, gardens, the interesting traditional Joseon era houses, the Palaces of Kings and Queens of Korean history. Very educational and you will enjoy the tour a lot, I promise you! 10 stars!

Wonderful tour if you’re a fan of Suga. This is where they filmed the music video for Daechwita and you can see all of the filming locations. Rachel was the tour guide, she was so helpful and made sure I knew all of the spots to go to ahead of time. I didn’t take the tram but walked up and around the whole park by myself. If you can handle the walking, I would suggest doing that. I hardly saw another soul the whole time because they were all on the tram.

I was greeted by tour guide Leo and English-speaking guide Anna. When Anna learned I was Chinese, she specifically introduced me to Leo. Both of them were incredibly enthusiastic. I had originally planned to travel alone and hadn't found a suitable tour package. Later, I discovered I could book tickets and transportation separately, so I promptly made a reservation. This attraction is in a remote location, and transportation isn't very convenient. It was also my first time booking on Klook, and since we hadn't met before, I was a bit nervous. Unfortunately, my phone's SIM card had issues, preventing me from making calls. Luckily, they proactively added me on WeChat and helped me sort out the route and itinerary, which was incredibly thoughtful. The tour experience completely exceeded my expectations. Leo provided explanations entirely in Chinese, which were detailed and thorough. I initially came just for the filming location of 'Dae Jang Geum,' but he introduced every film and TV show corresponding to each shooting spot. At each location, he would show us stills for comparison, accompany us for photos, and even mentioned BTS-related costume sets. Although I'm not familiar with BTS, I could tell that every aspect was handled with great care. There were also two sets of costumes available on-site for everyone to take turns trying on. Throughout the trip, Leo was warm and talkative, sharing many insights into local Korean culture. Even though I don't know much about K-dramas, he remained very patient, explaining series, discussing ratings, and even playing clips to match the scenes. He was exceptionally dedicated. There weren't many tourists here, making the experience exceptionally comfortable. I sincerely recommend everyone visit. Thanks again to Leo and Anna for their thoughtful service. I wish you all the best!

I really enjoy the tour. The guide, Rachel, is really nice and thoughtful. The bus was comfortable. It's a great option if you're a fan of historic dramas or if you want to see where Daechwita was shot. I recommend.

Our guide Rachel is incredible and very kind; I would repeat the experience just to go with her. She explains everything very well, and she even plays Daechwita's music video and some parts of a K-drama. She helps you with everything.
