- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We had an lovely experience on the Korean Tradition & Modernity tour in Seoul, thanks to Kevin. The Korean Folk Village was a wonderful glimpse into Korea’s heritage, and Kevin provided insights into traditional Korean life and customs. Hwaseong Fortress was equally impressive. To top it all off, the visit to Starfield Library was a perfect example of modern Korea’s innovation and beauty. If you’re looking for a well-balanced tour that showcases both Korea’s deep traditions and modern wonders, this is a must! Thank you again for the experience!
