Nami in Winter - Excellent tour. Tour Guide did a wonderful job. Explained everything very well. Had plenty of time at each place. Every spot was worth it and I would do it again. Also very impressed with the driving skills of the bus driver. Well done to both guide and driver.

Really good day trip - We had a really nice day with our Guide Sky. Really good value for money, we ate lunch together, but mostly had free reign when reaching the destinations.

Great tour! - We had a great experience and really enjoyed our trip. It's really cold but the view was beautiful. Eobi, nami, and garden of morning calm are stunning during winter. Our guide, Gienie Kim is a very nice man. He went beyond to ensure we're safe during the tour, he managed the time for each activities very well so we didn't miss a thing. He even took beautiful pictures for us. Highly recommended!

Magical experience in Korea - We took a tour out to the Eobi Ice Valley, Nami Island, and the Garden of Morning Calm and our guide, Enoch, made sure it was a perfect time for everyone in the group. One of the best parts was that we somehow made it to the sights before the other tour groups came along, which meant we got to beat the crowd almost every time. Would highly recommend booking this tour in the fall or later in the winter when the scenery at the sights would be a lot more magical (with either the autumn leaves or snow).

Mixed Experience but Highlights Shine - The tour had its ups and downs. The Eobi Ice Wall was okay but didn’t need an hour—30 minutes would have been sufficient. Nami Island was beautiful, and I wish we had more time to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and visit some of the lovely cafes.
The real highlight was the Morning Calm Village light show, which was absolutely stunning. The warm pocket packs provided by the tour operator were a thoughtful touch, helping us stay comfortable in the chilly weather.
Overall, a decent experience with room for improvement in the schedule to maximize enjoyment at key locations.

Eobi valley was a waste of time. - The guide Kathy was very helpful and informative. Nami island was great fun to visit. A bit dissapointed with Eobi Ice - man made and there was only 1 main attraction point there (i checked with a couple of guides who were there if there were other attraction points, they said no). Its good for the local tourism, but felt rather wasteful to make a trip all the way there for something man made (and buy truffle seaweed). Anyway, now I know. Gardens of the morning calm was nice (despite reaching there before nightfall) - but by this stage, we were tired from all the travelling around.

Nine hours of appetizers, one hour of main course and dessert - To us it was 3 tourist traps and 1 very nice place.
It starts out with Eobi Ice Wall, which was tourist trap. You arrive at a parking area, walk for 2 minutes, see the wall, walk back down. They highly recommended crampons, but those weren't even remotely necessary, felt more like they were trying to make some extra money. There is also a place for some fish cakes and rice cakes, which were very expensive.
After this you're taken to beside the Nami Island ferry, where you are ushered into a very mediocre dakgalbi restaurant. It was okay, but it was expensive, and it felt like you had no choice.
Turns out there is a bunch of restaurants at Nami as well. Maybe our fault for not researching, but there was no "if you'd like lunch here", it was "now we will all eat lunch here". Unfortunately we thought it was free because the description of the tour says "free lunchtime at Nami Island", but that wasn't it. To be fair, it does say lunch is not included another place. It cost us 60 000KRW for three servings of some ok chicken and a potato pancake.
Nami Island is nice depending on your interests, and what you're used to. It was a very nice place, but felt extremely touristy with blocky buildings and tons of tourist shops and attractions. Not what we were after on a peaceful island.
Last was Garden of Morning which was absolutely wonderful. Very beautiful at night.
There is about 5-6 hours for Eobi, lunch, and Nami, and one hour for the Garden. It was not nearly enough. Counting driving it was 9 and a half hours from we left until we arrived at Garden of Morning Calm.
Left this tour with a feeling of having lost most of our time. I'd rather take the money for this tour and straight up pay for a taxi to and from Garden of Morning Calm instead. It would be about the same price. If you count in the price for lunch, then the taxi would be cheaper.
