5.00I 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.

5.00It was super fun; at first, there is the Buddhist temple, and I loved seeing the statues of the Asian zodiac signs, then the dragon gate, the bookstore is impressive, and Dani explaining everything.
Suwon Fortress but no palace.

4.00Intense and interesting journey. The weather was forgiving and allowed us to fully enjoy the temple and the fortress. Too bad it was not possible to include the visit to the palace that I would recommend to include in the next guides! Nice also the chance to try to make the kimbap (but I wish I had dedicated more time to the museum!) and the hanbok test. Our guide was Seongsu Kim (Sean) very helpful and also told us something about the fortress. Having been quick, he also took us to see the artificial waterfall. Council but also enter the building!
Great activity
