Incredible introduction to South Korea

5.00We did this tour on our second day in Korea and it was such a beautiful introduction to the country. The tour guide Joon was very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot of new things throughout the trip. The garden of morning calm was so much more impressive in person. This trip is a full day of fun and adventure for the whole family.
Fun experience, mediocre guide

5.00More advance detail about the length and nature of the trip would have been helpful - this was a 10-hour long event and 80% of it was outdoors, and no information about drop off was provided until the day before the trip. The tour group was very large - we were on a large tour bus (no bathroom) that was completely full, and our guide Martin provided some information at the beginning of each segment of the ride but nothing exhaustive. Since there was a large group of Mandarin speakers on the bus, information was provided in English and Mandarin. Luckily our fellow riders were very punctual so the size of the group did not impact any aspect of the schedule, and for the most part, people were very respectful. Some general guidelines, like no phone calls on speakerphone, would have been helpful. The rail bike was a fun experience but we didn't get any information about how/why it was created, just some basics about safety. Similarly, we didn't learn much about how Nami Island came to be and would have enjoyed a little more time there. We received the most information about the Garden of Morning Calm, the final stop. Once we reached each stop, things were done independently, which worked well for our family of 4 but might not be ideal for solo travelers. Overall, the guide was not great but the tour made traveling from destination to destination very easy.

4.00Jiwon was a fabulous tour guide! Really fun and kind. She kept us safe and on schedule. The rail park was the highlight for me, a fun activity and something different. Nami Island and the Garden were nice but would've been even better in a different season (not winter, unless it was snowing), when you can enjoy flowers and leaves. Would do this tour again in a different season :)
Great guide

Poorly Organized + Lack of Urgency

2.00I’ve been on this tour twice now, the first time went smoothly. This time, we got less than an hour on Nami Island because of delays caused by our guide and other group members during lunch. Absolutely terrible time management, and an awful experience overall.
Rainy Autumn Trip - not the best season

4.00It was raining during our trip. We did not enjoy the rail bike that much because we were soaking wet and it was very cold. But we enjoyed the Garden of the Morning Calm & Nami Island. Branden, our tour guide is pleasant, helpful and very considerate. Overall, the whole package is enjoyable, maybe we’ll try this again some other season.

5.00These three places are the perfect combination. The guide Chuck Park is so attentive, caring and knowledgeable. All the guests were connected thru an app KUP. The rail bike is so much fun. The nami island is such a calm nature trip. Finished it with the amazing illuminations at Garden of morning calm. This is a great trip away from the busy and crowded city.
Eric is the best tour...

5.00Eric is the best tour guide I’ve ever had! He did a full photo shoot for everyone in our group throughout the entire day as well as told us fun facts. He memorized all of our names. I would recommend Eric’s tour to everyone.
