¡Lo pasamos genial hoy! Philip ha sido un guía excelente y también muy divertido. Sus explicaciones son muy detalladas.

A great historical experience — a wonderful way to learn more about Korean history and culture. Philip is humorous, entertaining and explained everything clearly. Also, he is a great photographer. :)

The car for this trip was very punctual. The driver, an older gentleman, messaged us via Kakao, sending a picture of the car and telling us where to meet and at what time. It was excellent! We woke up early, ready to go (it was very cold, rainy, and windy, but we went anyway). When the driver arrived, he invited us to sit and said, "Good morning! Where are you all from?" We replied, "Thailand," and he joked, "Thailand, and then Taipei. Today, I'll be picking up two more people from Taipei." After that, we departed from Hongdae to Myeongdong. Once everyone was picked up, we headed straight to Suwon as planned. Our first stop was the Starfield Library. I don't know how the driver managed, but I fell asleep as soon as the car started, which means he must have been driving well. We arrived before the mall opened. While waiting for it to open, the driver told us, "It's on the 4th floor, go right up." And the next stop was "Whole Chicken Street" (I was so confused, blaming the app for a bad translation). We went to eat fried chicken! We ordered two plates: one regular fried and one with Korean sauce. It was only then that I realized "whole chicken" literally meant a whole chicken! It was one chicken, but prepared in two styles. We ate, a bit confused, but there was so much that we had to take some home. The next place was a palace; I can't remember its name. The restrooms were amazing; they let us into the palace just to use the restroom. It was cold, but we went into the palace for a bit, paying an entrance fee (I don't remember how much). We ended the trip at Seonjae, which was easy to find as the driver gave us directions. The driver was excellent, acting as both driver and guide, making this trip truly impressive. And that's the end of it!

The place was good and the Korean history was fun.

I enjoyed this trip very much, the tour was well paced and visited very interesting destinations. This tour was also very unique as our tour guide Peter Pan was very well-informed about the history of Korea and is an amazing story teller. It feels as if I have time travelled back to the Joseon era as he explained about the place and connected the dots for us. Definitely will recommend this tour for those who wants to not just sight see but to immerse themselves in the experience. Plus point Peter is really good at taking photos (100 points!)

Tour guide Philip is very nice and friendly. The tour ends early (around 4pm). This tour focuses more on history telling.

We had an amazing time on this tour! Alice was an excellent tour guide and provided us with so much information and history about every site we visited. We both learned so much about the history of Korea. We highly recommend this tour!

We really enjoyed our tour with Peter Pan. He was very informative and engaging. Something we really appreciate is that he didn't rush us. He would patiently wait for us to catch up at our own pace.
