5.00Had a wonderful tour with Peter Pan as our guide. He taught us a lot about Korean history and made it fun with jokes along the way. The weapons demonstration at the palace was a hit with the kids! Really enjoyed our trip and would recommend it!
Great day trip!

5.00We had a fantastic day on the tour with Peter! He was friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. He used clips from historical movies and shared fascinating stories that made everything very interesting. We learned so much while exploring Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, really enjoyed Waujeongsa Temple, and the Starfield Library was a great bonus. Peter truly made the experience special. We highly recommend him!

5.00It was a very fun and enjoyable experience, suitable for everyone. Our tour guide, Peter Pan, was incredibly informative and helpful. He shared fascinating insights about Korea’s history and kept the group entertained with his humour. The group size was relatively small—around 20 people—which made the experience more comfortable and engaging. He also shared the story of the 22nd Emperor of Korea, which led to the creation of the Suwon grounds. We watched a recreation of ancient Korean weaponry and martial techniques, which was really interesting. After that, we had a meal at Starfield and took photos at the beautiful library inside the building. The temple he brought us to was absolutely amazing—a true hidden gem. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

5.00Mr. Peter Pan is truly exceptional. He beautifully captures the richness of Korean history, offers genuine insights into Korean family life, and thoughtfully brings the entire trip experience together in a meaningful way. What stands out most is his kindness—his warm and engaging personality made the journey not just informative, but genuinely memorable. To sum it all up, as they say in Korea—Kamsahamnida!🙏👏😊
Great day trip to Waterfront City!

5.00We are participating in a day tour of Waterfront, the leader Peter Pan is good, all the trips are explained very detailed, the whole group of 37 people in English, for English is not very OK for both of us, he will talk to us alone, will not let us be alone, great leadership is also a great trip👍🏽 (the leader Peter will also help the team to take photos to help you make records)
Very good!!

5.00Peter Pan is a great tour guide. I especially like how he explains history through modern technology (The Throne and another movie about the Crown Prince's life). The most memorable is the temple. It was a short visit, I wish it was longer, but still good to relax and meditate a bit.
