Danny was great tour guide. Would recommend to others. Made gimbal and wore hanbok, both were great experiences.
Overall, the experience was good. The guide was knowledgeable and helpful, although his English could be improved, as it was sometimes difficult to fully understand his explanations. He was also a little strict at times and could occasionally come across as slightly scolding, but overall we had a positive experience.
We had a great time with Seongbae Kim. He gave us a lot of historical and general information of his beautiful country, South Korea. We felt safe, relaxed and well taken care of with his respectful and calm manners. We give him a ten.
Seongbae our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke good English. We had a nice history lesson throughout the tour. The Waujeongsa Temple was beautiful and the hanbok experience was a lot of fun. I would recommend this tour if you’re traveling to South Korea.
Mr. Seongbae Kim was great. We visited the temple. Did some archery training visit an incredible library. Got a chance to make gimbap and taste it. It was a very nice day.
I really like knowing more about the suwon temple, culture and history and be able to try new things like making kimbap and taste different seaweeds. Did enjoy it!!!

“Our guide/driver( Seongbae Kim) was absolutely fantastic! He was punctual, professional, friendly, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire trip. His driving was safe and smooth, and he shared interesting information about the places we visited. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great experience, helped with photos, answered all our questions, and made the tour both enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional tour experience. Thank you for making our trip so special!”
Seongbae Kim was WONDERFUL! We covered so much that we were want to see in this one day. If you’re considering booking this tour please do! It was my favorite in Korea!
I feel like we saw more of Korea with this guided tour. We got to visit some places in the city and also discover a little bit of the country side! There is a bit of driving but it was is a great all-day excursion and we got to experience hands-on with some Korean traditions.

Perfect day! My teenage daughter and I loved this day and will remember it as one of the best in out visit to Seoul. Our guide Eric was so friendly and helpful all day. The transportation between the venues was so helpful and easy. And the choice of places to visit was phenomenal. Out of the three tours I had this holiday this was the most value for money and most enjoyed. I recommend it 100%.
We had the absolute pleasure of having Andrew as our guide, he was amazing, knowledgeable, entertaining, great English speaking, definitely recommend this tour it was well worth it.
Andrew was great tour guide, very attentive, explaining perfectly the Korean culture and history.. The excursion was worst the trip.
I have a very wonderful experience during this tour. The hwaseon fortress is the highlight of this tour where i learnt historical background of the fortress, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Our tour guide andrew is very kind and knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly about the tour from the beginning until the end, and provides us ample time for photoghaph and activities. This tour is very memorable to us. Thank you Andrew.
It was a great tour! Our guide was super nice and explained everything very well. I would definitely recommend it if it’s your first time visiting South Korea.🤗
The explanations where very clear, and the guide is very nice. Definitely recommend it!
Interesting tour, the guide Patrick was awesome!
Fantastic experience! Andrew was such a wonderful and informative guide. Highly recommend this tour!
Andrew was an incredible Tour guide. He answered every single question I had during the tour and was very polite and courteous.
Sean Kim was wonderful. He was our excellent driver and guide. He also found our group a Chinese black noodle restaurant we wanted to try. It was a fun and relaxing day.
A great experience, the guide was friendly and had lots of knowledge about each destination. He was also very kind as it was a cold day keeping the car warm and gave me a hand warmer when it was cold, and helped me pick noodles at the mall when I wasn’t sure what to have, and showed me delicious mochi. The small group was a great way to see everything and very comfortable and he helped ensure we all had a good time and take pictures. It was a really nice mix of activities and fun experience, thank you for a great day!
Eric Kim our tour guide is very accommodating, and his very hands on. He provided some information about the Korean history and culture. I really enjoy the Day tour Trip. Overall I’m very satisfied and happy with my holiday trip. Thank you so much Eric Kim.
Eric Kim was an amazing guide and ensured we traveled safely to and from Seoul. We enjoyed the tour so much—now we’re going home with tons of photos and great stories to share!
Banging tour. Driver SB was an absolute highlight and a gentleman. I didn't want to do fancy dress as did that elsewhere the day before, so he arranged for me alone to do a kimchi making session at the museum. The kimchi was very spicy, but after discussion I accept the driver is not responsible for kimchi containing chilli paste. Overall, very, very happy and a lovely day out with lots of sweet little stops and sites to see.
Enjoyable and relax trip with SB, he is meticulous and knowledgeable, we enjoy the Hwaseong fortress, unfortunately just too short, overall a good trip.
I was looking for a day trip around the countryside of Korea and found this tour. It was a truly fascinating, fun, and wonderful experience. Our guide, Andrew, paid great attention to each and every participant and I was truly impressed by his professionalism. Thank you for a wonderful day.
It was a really nice experience I recommend if you’re interested in learning about the history and culture of the country.
The tour guide is very friendly and it was a very pleasant experience. I would recommend a better organised tour for hanbok experience.
