Feels like a private tour for me after we lost 3/4 of tour mates. Very relaxing and more times to explore each venues. Charlie was patiently handling any obstacles and facilitate us the best he could. Great and helpful tour mates, it felt like you're going with a family. Enjoyable experience.

Had a magical day touring Suwon with Jong Kuk and loved every place we visited. Was given a complimentary upgrade to a private tour and ended up with a lovely Japanese family. A perfect and whimsical last day in Korea.
Had fantastic day with Jennifer and Jordan. I was very happy that they didn't cancel even though I was the only one on the tour. Started with a quick visit to Tando Port with photos of the windmills. Went on to Jebu Island via the cable car (about 10 min ride). Even though it was a windy day the cable car was very stable. Took lots of fun pics as you walk around the island (we also took the shuttle bus once we got tired of walking). Next was lunch in the cafeteria at Starfield Suwon (at your own expense, there were lots of options) and instagram worthy shots of the Library and even a quick stop at the pet park on the 8th floor. Last but not least was the Gwangmyeong Cave. Tons of cool lighting and decorations while giving you a history of the mining that was the original purpose of the caves. This is the most strenuous part of the day as you have a easy-moderate hike up to the cave entrance followed by a lot of stairs inside in order to visit all the sections. All in all a very good day and worth the price (~$56)
The group I was in was really good… I met some new friends. Plus our tourguide, Yoona (not sure of the spelling) was very funny, and made the trip memorable and fun. If ever you’ll book with them, I recommend you look for Yoona. She’s the best.
Our guide Ben picked us up in the morning from meeting point on time.We were with him four.Ben is a very sympathetic and attentive guide who knew a lot about the respective place we had visited.Moreover, he also told us so about the city.It was fun to be out with him, it was like an outing with friends.He did an excellent job and we felt comfortable all the time and felt
