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.

සරත් සමයේදී අනිවාර්යයෙන්ම නැරඹිය යුතු ස්ථානයකි. දර්ශනය අතිවිශිෂ්ටයි. කුඩා කණ්ඩායමක් සමඟ (මගේ කණ්ඩායමේ 7 දෙනෙක් සිටියා) විශිෂ්ට සංචාරයක්. මුළු උද්‍යානයම ගවේෂණය කිරීමට ප්‍රමාණවත් කාලයක් තිබුණා. අපි උදේ 10ට පමණ පැමිණ දහවල් 2ට පමණ (දිවා ආහාරය ඇතුළුව) අවසන් කළා. විවේක ස්ථාන කිහිපයක් සමඟ බොහෝ ඇවිදීමට සිදු වුණා. එය සති අන්තයක් වූ නිසා මොනෝරේල් ටිකට් පත ලබා ගැනීමට නොහැකි වුණා (විකිණී අවසන්). විදේශිකයන්ට එය මිලදී ගත හැක්කේ එම ස්ථානයේදී පමණයි. සංචාරය සඳහා රියදුරෙකු සිටින අතර ඔහු ඔබව රැගෙන ගොස් ආපසු ගෙන එනු ඇත. රියදුරු මිත්‍රශීලී වූ අතර හැකි තරම් උදව් කිරීමට උත්සාහ කළා.

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

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....

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.

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

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.
