Most Suwon tours skim the surface. This one dives deep with stories that bring fortress walls and palace intrigue to life instead of dry history lectures. You’ll not only explore Hwaseong Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site, but also step into pop culture at the kimbap shop made famous in Netflix’s Extraordinary Attorney Woo. Small groups keep it personal, your guide keeps it real, and if you’re hungry for more, Suwon’s legendary Chicken Alley offers the ultimate finale: crispy fried chicken and ice-cold beer in the birthplace of chimaek.

Simon was a great guide. He was knowledgeable on the history of the fortress and great for talking about Korea in general as well.
