UNESCO Heritage tour in Spring

5.004/11/2026 Philip from K One Tour is our guide and driver of the day. We have good time with only 11 people in the group and everyone corporates with Philip with scheduled meeting time. Every stop has its own interesting story and history. Beautiful cherry blossom is a bonus for the spring time to travel in Seoul. Philip explains well and gives us enough time to take photos and walk around. It is a well organized tour and can visit different places within a day. We are just in time to watch the Royal guides martial performance in the Hwaseong Haenggung Palace. We are back to Seoul on time. Thank you, Philip.

History Came Alive with Peter Pan

5.00I had an amazing time on this heritage tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul! The experience was both fun and incredibly informative, giving us a deeper appreciation for Korea’s rich history. Our guide, Peter Pan, was absolutely fantastic energetic, engaging, and clearly very knowledgeable. He brought the stories of the Joseon Dynasty to life in such an entertaining way that it never felt like a typical history lesson. Walking through iconic sites really helped us connect with the past, and Peter made sure to share fascinating details and anecdotes that you wouldn’t easily learn on your own. If you’re looking for a tour that combines history, culture, and a lot of fun, this is definitely the one to book. A truly memorable experience!

5.00My guide is Peter. He is very knowledgable about the trip. He shared with us about the history of Hwaseong Fortress and Hwaseong Palance as well as the life of the king that then built the palace in Suwon. Besides Hwaseong Fortress and the palance, the trip also brought us to Sarfield Suwon and Waujeongsa Temple. Overall, it has been an enriching and fulfilling experience learning about the history of Korea.
