Urban Levee in GLP mga tour

I had a very enjoyable and memorable trip to Suwon. Visiting Hwaseong Fortress became much more meaningful because our guide, Peter, explained the history behind the fortress very clearly, so when we visited each place, I could understand and relate to the story better. Peter speaks very good English and Chinese, which made the tour very comfortable and easy to follow. He was also very kind and attentive throughout the trip. Thank you, Peter, for making this Suwon trip such an enjoyable and meaningful experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to visit Suwon and learn more about its history.

Our tour guide Jeff is a very nice person, who took care of everyone well until the end. He even helped us carrying our baby because some of the places were really tough to track with 2 little babies. In additional, the other tourists were all very nice to a family who has little children, so we feilt a big relief during the visiting. Kindly reminder, if you are traveling with little babies, you might want to talk to your guide about the details of your trip before visiting there. other than that, I think it was quite worthy.

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!

Booked this tour to go with my family (with 2 elderly and 1 kid) - they all have a fantastic time ! Our tour guide Sally Park is very helpful, enthusiastic and shares a lot of interesting facts about Suwon and Korean history ! Sally is very fluent in Chinese and that’s really helpful for my parents to understand. The tour schedule is well-planned and comfortably paced. The activities are very family-friendly and good to learn about Korean culture. We also love that we get to visit a traditional market to get some local food and snacks before we head back to Seoul !

We had Nicole for our half day tour of Suwon and she was amazing! She was so insightful about the history and explaining the different areas or stories. She was so sociable, fun, easy to talk to, and was interested to know where we came from and share what she knew, especially about different areas and what to look out for. We were lucky to have a private tour and would absolutely recommend this tour as they have given my partner and I a great understanding of the history of the Hwaseong fortress and palace and gave us an amazing start to our trip!

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.

Thanks to the delightful guidance of Yu-san, also known as Tama-chan, two hours flew by in an instant. At the end, she accompanied us by bus to Hwaseomun Gate, where we were able to enjoy a projection mapping show. This was my second visit to Hwaseong Fortress, but Yu-san showed us places I hadn't noticed before, and areas I would never have ventured into without her guidance, making it a very meaningful experience. If I have the chance, I would definitely love to have her guide us again. Thank you, Yu-san.

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!
