Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon is easily influenced by its beauty even if you don't have any background knowledge of history. It is even ironic to feel beautiful in the castle associated with the war.

    We had a great time visiting the city with Stella Kim: a knowledgeable and friendly guide who was insightful in her explanations about sights and history! Suwon and this tour are certainly gems not to be missed.

    Great tour of historic places. Stella was a fantastic guide. She catered the tour to what the group would like to do and see. No rushing around. It was amazing to see the fort up close and walk around the area. Temporary Palace had a martial art show that was good. We did the combo tour with the Folk Village which was nice to see the different types of housing and culture in ancient times. Stella was an amazing guide and made the day go by quickly. She had lots of knowledge having been raised in the area.

    Our tour guide Thomas made the tour of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress a pleasant, fun, and memorable experience. He provided a history about the fortress. He kindly offered to take pictures of me and my parents. He was considerate and asked if the pace of walking was comfortable. Thank you Thomas for making this tour a great experience.
