Follow your friendly guide to locations where the main characters of Winter Sonata shared the screen and won the hearts of their fans. You’ll stroll along tree-lined paths where the starring couple, Yu-jin and Jun-sang, had some of their most memorable moments.

Reviews
Horrible! Unprofessional! Tour was cancelled at mid-night. Horrible!SajithPremadasa
My tour was called at the midnight due to not having enough people. I booked it around 6-7pm. Should have canceled it as soon as I booked it, not several at midnight. Ruined a whole day of my short stay. They shouldn’t have kept it open after 6 if they didn’t have enough to operate the tour. It’s not very professional to notify very late when there’s no trips could be booked for the next day.
We had a great time with our driver! We were fortunate to be the only 2 in the tour, so we got an up and personal tour! Thanks Hugo! Hugo also helped us get back to our hotel with the public transportation! Texted us details and snap shots and made sure we arrived safely!

Our guide was very kind, helpful and dedicated to make our experience pleasant and great. The Nami Island and the Garden of Morningcalm were great! Very clean, peaceful and gorgeous. Many things to do.

<p>I wish we had more time at nami island but our tour guide was great.</p>
The tour guide was not very...Tudiepthao
<p>The tour guide was not very professional. I was expecting the tour to be a little more organized.</p>
what was to be a 90 minute drive...Peter F
<p>what was to be a 90 minute drive became a 3 1/2 hour crawl on the clogged up highway to nami island from seoul! take the train,especially on weekends! had to walk the last km as the traffic was simply crazy! on nami island,it was really too crowded.island is beautiful but the amount of people around,many seemed to be koreans,was unbelievable! as our tour bus has to pick the 16 of us from various hotels around the city,we spent way too much time stuck in the bus crawling along! maybe on a weekday it would be better.</p>
Pickup was again punctual. The land...CHINSOON T
<p>Pickup was again punctual. The land transfer to the jetty to catch the ferry was rather long. Ferry ride was a non event, took us all of 5 minutes. The Nami island is nice and scenic, and if you're a Winter Sonata K-drama fan, you'll like it even more.<br/>
Quite a number of quaint shops and eating places: recommend that you try the "topoki" and vegetable pancakes. Oh, the guide did give us each 10,000 KRW as lunch money.<br/>
After lunch, we took ferry back to the 'mainlland' and went to see the residence of the 2 Winter Sonata stars. However, this residence is no longer opened to public (the owner apparently got pissed with too many tourists visits hehe) so it was only a photo stop. After this, we went to Chun Meon (the little Myeongdong) - lots of street food for us to sample. We also were brough to see the scenic path which the 2 lovers from Sonata ride bicycles on during the K-drama.<br/>
After that, it was a long drive back to hotel.</p>
It was a wonderful tour. the tour...ZAFARAN H
<p>It was a wonderful tour. the tour guide was very prompt and the trip to Nami Island was very interesting and awesome to say the least. My daughter and I truly enjoyed every moment and they will be memories we will surely cherish and treasure. The tour guide was very considerate and attentive to our demands. Thank you Viator for the memorable experience</p>
On the second day, we visited Nami...Samsiah A
<p>On the second day, we visited Nami Island. The tour bus arrived right on time, 7.30 am on the dot. Our tour guide was Jenny. We were lucky because she was not only knowledgeable of the places, but also friendly, funny and thoughtful. We enjoyed the tour, the trip and the company tremendously.</p>
I had an awesome time. My guide, I...Hasliza M
<p>I had an awesome time. My guide, I think his name is Mr Ho is funny, knowledgable and sings for us! He snapped pictures for us, assisted restaurant staff when they were busy so that we could enjoy our food. Mr Ho brought us the areas on the island where he thought we could take nice pictures.</p>
The guide is the best.Anonymous
People who don't know about winter sona can enjoy it. The scenery and food are great. You can slowly forget about time and enjoy.
Above all, the former guide was the best. They advised us on dinner that day and showed us the location. Thank you.
It's a great tour for everyone.
