Culture and good food. - An incredibly interesting and nice trip. Guiden Joon engaged us with exciting historical facts about the places we visited. After Folkvillage and fortress we reached a walk on the local market.

Wonderful guide & experience! - Laura was a wonderful tour guide! We randomly got hit with a blizzard and it threw us off. Laura remained positive and happy and kept us going! The tour was fabulous and we saw a lot of historical sites. As someone who loves historical kdramas, it was fascinating seeing buildings accurate to history. We visited multiple sites and learned a lot. If you like historical trips, I definitely recommend booking!

Amazing experience!! - The folk village is truly amazing. Yunju and her team did an amazing job at showing and explaining the most interesting aspects of the village you would otherwise miss out on. An absolute highlight for me were the music and dance shows organized by the village. Since I wanted to see both shows and walk around a bit more I only managed to see everything I wanted by skipping lunch. Just 30-40 minutes more time would be amazing. And this only if you keep assuming people don't want to take time for any workshop, since there are amazing ones I feel like I would have liked to try one at least. The fortress was very interesting to see indeed, too! And the market was very nice, but again very strict time limit ;) so you can only stroll around for a little while. And vegetarians better prepare for limited lunch opportunity.

I would do it again :) - Although the weather was not the best (it was raining a lot), our guide Jonathan Kim managed to make the most of it. We had a great time in the folk village and he explained to us a lot of interesting things about Joseon culture. The Hwaseong fortress light show was cancelled due to the rain, but we had a good time in the Chicken Street instead. Overall, a tour a would recommend if you want to visit the impressive Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon and a Folk village. He even took a lot of beautiful pictures for us to remember the day ^^. Thank you!

The Korean Folk Village... - The Korean Folk Village was my favorite part of the experience. The tour guide was knowledgeable. I wish we had more free time to experience the location on our own. The tour guide did give our group headphones, so we could hear her. I’m sure it would be helpful to many. The fortress felt rushed. I felt like we only experienced a small portion of the area. The market at the end was nice; however, having been to the other markets, I could have skipped this part. Many in our group loved it.

Disappointed experience - We haven’t been advised some days before that the blooming has been delayed. Only 20% of the trees had flowers. It wasn’t so spectacular as expected. The hanok village is only a reconstructed village for tourists with plenty of shops and restaurants. So it was a big deception for 10 hours spending in the bus…
