😍😍😍😍😍 We did the Nami Island, Cable Car, and Garden of Morning Calm Panoramic Tour, and it was such a great experience! Our tour guide was honestly the best part — she spoke perfect English, was super friendly, and really made sure everyone had a great time. She went out of her way to make sure no one missed out on photo opportunities, offering to take pictures for every couple or group at the best spots (and she knew exactly where to go for the perfect shot). She was also very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information along the way. We had two people in our group with diet restrictions, and she made a real effort to make sure they had something they could eat, which we really appreciated. The timing of the tour was perfect — we got to the Garden of Morning Calm right when it opened and had the whole place to ourselves for about ten minutes. Absolutely stunning and peaceful. Highly recommend this tour — especially if you want some slaving photos

Personally the Garden of the Morning Calm was the best followed by the cable car ride to Samak mountain. Nami Island was a little too touristy and crowded. All in all, it was a very nice tour, well worth it. Ms Lua, our tour guide, was wonderful and attentive to each of us.
Very well organized,...

Our tour to Garden of the Morning Calm, Mt. Sakaran cable car, and Nami Island was fabulous! Our guide Ms. Lia and driver Mr. Kim were so friendly and helpful. They arrived on time to pick us up and went out of their way to help and accommodate our big family! We had the best day! I highly recommend this tour as the sites were amazing and a great opportunity to see areas outside of Seoul!
Gorgeous views! Fantastic guide!

Wonderful taste of S. Korean mountainous/lake area. Sookhee provided a fantastic tour. Pick up at the hotel was appreciated. This trip covers many activities so expect a quick pace if you want to cover a lot of ground. We were able to walk quickly and see all of Garden of Morning Calm. Beautiful gardens! We could have stayed at Nami island for hours. Thankfully this tour leaves very early AM, so we were able to see several places before the large crowds arrived. This was worth every penny. We also went during the weekdays. Transportation was very comfortable.

Sookee was a great guide, giving us useful information along the way while also giving us free time to enjoy each location. The garden was a particular highlight while the cherry blossoms were out.
A must!
