With over 160 hanok-style homes scattered across the hills, some still inhabited today, visitors can stroll past tiled rooftops, ancestral halls, and ancient academies.

    Wingwing was a great tour guide! She gave us all the necessary information prior to starting our tour and made sure we were comfortable, had all our questions answered, and was very clear with the schedule for the day. Although we had a larger group, she was very patient and organized. She also gave us opportunities for great photo spots. My favorites were Daereungwon Tomb Complex and Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond. I highly recommend the tour with Wingwing and we were able to see so much in one day. She was geat!

    This is one of the worst tours i have ever done. *the coach was old and noisy and the air conditioning was not effective, especially in the back few rows of the bus. *it was a dual tour conducted in Mandarin and English. The Mandarin tour guide was very loud. She definitely did not need a mic and would not stop talking it was very inconsiderate given that half the bus could not understand her shoutings. *there was only one place to have lunch. It was called a restaurant, but we had to take our shoes off before entering so remember your socks and maybe pack a lunch. *on 2 occasions people were 10 minutes late. This is a risk with large tour groups containing inconsiderate people. *we joined the tour at Busan train station at 9:50 am we then spent the next hour picking up other tour passengers before leaving Busan.
