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.

I had an amazing day on the Suwon & Waujeongsa Temple tour! Our guide was friendly, informative and super organized — he made sure we saw everything at a relaxed pace and explained history in a fun way. The mix of ancient sites, a peaceful temple and a modern library made the day perfect. Highly recommend it if you want a full taste of Korean history and culture in one comfortable, well-planned tour.
