Banghwasuryujeong Pavilion mga tour

Nag-enjoy ako sa tour. Nag-alinlangan ako kung mag-isa akong pupunta pero nagpasya akong sumama dito para sa kaginhawaan. Lumabas na maliit lang pala ang grupo, wala pang 10 katao kaya napakaganda! Ang aming guide, si Richard, ay matulungin at palakaibigan, at dahil mag-isa lang ako, nagboluntaryo siyang kumuha ng maraming litrato para sa akin. Sinabi ko rin sa kanya na nag-aaral ako ng Korean at masaya siyang nakipag-usap sa akin sa Korean para makapag-ensayo ako. Maganda ang takbo ng tour (asahan ang maraming lakaran!) at marami ring ibinahaging kasaysayan si Richard tungkol sa mga lugar. Lubos na inirerekomenda!

We had originally booked a slightly different itinerary, but the tour changed and there were not enough participants on our original date. The organisers were very efficient and communicated the changes and our options clearly. We and another pair ended up with a private van and driver, who dropped us at all the pick-up points on the itinerary. The whole process was very easy. The itinerary and meeting point instructions were very clear. We even had a K-drama list sent to us on Google Maps so we could find the locations ourselves, which was so helpful. We had almond lattes in the cafe which they filmed Sol's house in Lovely Runner, and the small shop they also filmed at had some Lovely Runner merchandise as well. Starfield Library in Suwon is much better than the one in Gangnam, and we had plenty of time to shop in the department store as well. There was also a reenactment at the temporary palace near the fortress which was great. Very impressed with the tour organisers!

TG and the tour group were amazing. everyone’s friendly, easy to get along with even as a solo traveller. he brought us to see green cherry blossom, royal cherry blossom and the standard ones. lunch recommendation tasted great. best part of my trip so far. TG will accommodate to the group and helped us take photos. rly enjoyed the tour! cherry blossom wise the standard ones mostly fell, the royal/green ones haven’t fully bloomed yet, so first week of April or end Apr might be better to see either at its peak. overall will recommend! like it better than the other tour I booked (also klook, also tour story, but different guide)

Our tour guide was Philip, and the tour was absolutely fantastic! It was very diverse and interesting, with plenty of time at every stop to explore and enjoy the sights. What made the tour truly special was Philip himself. He shared so many fascinating stories and interesting facts, kept us laughing throughout the day, and made sure we were never bored with his enthusiastic and entertaining personality. On top of that, he took amazing photos of us at every beautiful spot, giving us wonderful memories to take home. We had an incredible day and would 100% recommend this tour, especially with Philip as your guide! Thank you, Philip, for making this experience so unforgettable!

Napakaganda ng naging karanasan ko sa Suwon tour! Si Peter Pan ay isang kahanga-hangang gabay—napakaalam, palakaibigan, at propesyonal. Malinaw niyang ipinaliwanag ang lahat at ginawang maayos at kasiya-siya ang buong paglilibot. Maayos ang pagkakabuo ng lahat, at talagang sulit ang tour. Marami akong natutunan habang nag-e-enjoy nang husto. Lubos kong irerekomenda! Kung bisitahin ninyo ang Korea, siguradong isa itong tour na dapat subukan! 🇰🇷✨

Ang biyaheng ito ay napakagaling, lalo na salamat sa aming tour guide na si Eva mula sa VIP Travel. Mula nang ipakilala niya ang kanyang sarili hanggang sa pagtatapos ng tour, siya ay lubos na matulungin. Ginawa niyang kaakit-akit ang karanasan sa pamamagitan ng pagbabahagi ng kasaysayan at mga interesanteng impormasyon tungkol sa bawat hintuan. Si Eva ay nanatili sa amin sa buong oras, ginagabayan kami sa lahat ng mga lugar na dapat makita upang wala kaming makaligtaan, at matiyaga niyang sinagot ang lahat ng aming mga tanong. Maraming salamat, Eva!

These days, I’ve been going through a difficult time. I felt like I couldn’t find my way, so I decided to go somewhere I could feel comfortable and clear my mind. First, we went to Bongeunsa Temple. It was such a beautiful and peaceful place. I learned how to pray to Buddha, and I even did three bows I felt like I was letting go of all the bad things I had been holding onto. It was really good for clearing my mind. After that, we went to Just Be Temple in Hongdae. It was very hip and modern, so I thought it was a place for young people. We did three types of meditation: breathing, walking, and listening. It helped me calm down and clear my mind. I also had a chance to talk with a monk. I told her about my worries, and she just listened and smiled. She also gave me some tea. I felt much lighter after talking about everything. I really appreciate our guide, too. He was very kind and helped me a lot. He made me feel comfortable throughout the whole experience.

Tatlo kami na sumama sa tour na ito. Ang meeting place ay sa Exit 10 ng Myeongdong Station. Dahil ito ang una naming biyahe sa Korea, medyo kinabahan ako at nag-iisip kung tama ba ang lugar, ngunit tinawag kami ng aming guide na si Dragon, at agad kaming nakasama. Napakabait ni Dragon at napakahusay magsalita ng Japanese, kaya mula nang magkita kami, naging panatag ang loob ko sa tour. Noong araw na iyon, dahil sa demonstrasyon, sobrang traffic sa mga kalapit na kalsada, kaya naglakad kami nang kaunti mula sa meeting place, ngunit may naghihintay na malaking itim na van. Ipinaliwanag niya na “Ngayon ay magiging pribadong tour ito para sa inyo lang,” kaya hindi inaasahang naging espesyal ang aming simula. Habang naglalakbay, maingat na ipinaliwanag ni Dragon ang kasaysayan ng Korea at ang kasaysayan ng Suwon Hwaseong, kaya mabilis na lumipas ang halos isang oras na biyahe. Napakasaya at makabuluhan ng oras na iyon. Pagdating namin sa Suwon Hwaseong, may nagaganap na classical concert, at maraming tao. Ipinakita niya sa amin ang mga lugar kung saan nakatira ang mga hari, at ipinaliwanag niya ito nang napakalinaw na kahit ako na hindi mahilig sa kasaysayan ay naging interesado, kaya mas naging masaya ang aming paglilibot. Bukod pa rito, isa sa aming kasama ay nasaktan ang paa, at nang sabihin namin ito, binago niya ang ruta na dapat ay lakarin lang namin at ginawa itong biyahe sa sasakyan, na nagpapakita ng kanyang detalyadong pag-aalaga. Napakaganda rin ng pagkuha ng litrato; marami kaming nakuha sa bawat magandang tanawin, at naging napakagandang alaala ito. Maingat din magmaneho ang driver at nakaramdam kami ng seguridad, kaya naging komportable ang aming biyahe. Dragon at sa driver, maraming salamat sa napakasayang oras. Sa personal kong opinyon, ang tour na ito ay kahanga-hanga sa lahat ng aspeto – ang guide, ang nilalaman, ang serbisyo, at ang pag-aalaga – at ito ang pinaka-hindi malilimutang karanasan sa aming biyahe sa Korea. Ito ay isang inirerekomendang tour na gusto kong maranasan ng sinumang nagpaplano ng biyahe sa Korea.
