Traveler reviews
Mine was unfortunately cancelled
I decided to write this in case someone can benefit. Please choose but reach out to them perhaps to confirm which day should you choose to book this with. My trip was short, therefore, I couldn't rebook them for another day. And I wanted to give thanks to the tour team, which contacted me a few days prior to the tour notifying me about its cancellation. I think the communication is crutial when you travel, and I wanted to note, that because of it, I was able to book other things instead. And I wish the team best of luck!
A great mix of Korean Culture
We had lovely tour with Alice who showed us the way and even helped with underrated parts of Korea. Special mention to Mr. Kim as well our driver.
Very unique and fun tour where you can make kimichi, wear hanbok, and learn about ginseng
Honestly the best tour I had in Korea. Due to the kimichi place not being open we got a reschedule for a different day but honestly that was the best thing that could’ve happened we got a private tour with Eva and she was so bubbly and high energy and made the whole tour more fun. My favorite part out of the 3 things we did was the kimichi making it was such a unique experience. But I very much enjoyed wearing the pretty hanbok and walking around the palace and learning about the history. Fantastic tour would recommend.
Super fun kimchi class, castle tour with hanbok dress up
Had a very fun tour with Eva. We did a kimchi making class and got to take our own kimchi home with us. They also gave us drinks and kimchi pancakes to eat. Then we dressed up in hanbok and went to tour the castle. The hanbok were very pretty and had many colors. The castle was not too crowded. Then we went to the ginseng museum, which had very cool art made with ginseng! Our tour guide Eva was very personable and knowledgeable. She helped us take pictures too. Overall fun experience
Great time, highly recommend!
Alice was fantastic. We had a tour that was catered to what we wanted to see and do. We ended up with so many beautiful photos and had such a fantastic experience.
