Gyeonggi-do Province that takes 2hours from Seoul is very interesting and beautiful. Gyeonggi-do has nature and historic sites so many Korean dramas(soap operas) shoot the film there. Korea Folk Village is a place where you can see/feel/eat the traditional Korean things so It's also known as Open-studio. Haeridan-gil is a street near Haenggung-palace. The street is full of unique cafes and delicious bakery shops. The beautiful palace with coffee and breads. It's a perfect match. Suwon Starfiled Library is a famous photo zone because no matter how you take photos there, all photos look beautiful. In a shining huge library, no one read books but everyone takes photos. That's why it's the most famous spot for Instagram. If you don't have Instagram account, don't worry! Just take photos there and show them to your family and friends. They will say 'Beautiful!!!' - Don't be fooled. They are saying the place is beautiful.

The name Gyeongbokgung contains the meaning that "the new dynasty will enjoy great fortune and prosper." The Gyeongbokgung Palace tour provides an opportunity to increase your understanding of Korean culture. In addition, Gyeongbokgung Palace offers traditional performances such as the Changing of the Royal Guard Ceremony held every day at noon, providing foreigners with a chance to experience Korean traditions vividly. Insa-dong has galleries, traditional tea houses, restaurants, street vendors, specialized shopping malls for handicrafts, antique shops, antique stores, and flower shops, so I recommend taking a walk and eating bibimbap. Take a walk along Bukcheon Hanok Village Road and feel and experience the beauty of Korean culture. Gwangjang Market is the first permanent market in our country, established in 1905. The Korean pronunciation of the name was kept the same, but the meaning of ‘widely gathering and preserving’ was added, and it became the current Gwangjang Market.

A morning in” Joseon”

It’s the Location where Lots of historacal k Dramas were filmed. It’s a huge complex of palaces, noble houses, marketplace... etc. I would recommend to take the bus up and walk down. We had a very friendly guide, Rachel, who took good care of us. We heard stories about filming, why that Film town was built and lots more.

A fantastic way to see several attractions outside of Seoul. Andrew was a fantastic guide, super organized and helpful. Although we booked this tour to see Nami Island, we ended up loving the other sites more! The cable car to the mountain, in particular, is not to be missed.

Must do when in Seoul! Such an interesting tour and Eddie is the best guide we’ve ever had!

Must do when in Seoul!! It’s such a unique experience: seeing North Korea, learning so much about Korea’s history and present, and Eddie (the guide) who was in the Korean military and was even stationed in a few spots where the tour is taking you. So so interesting to learn from him and here his experiences. I saw there’s many DMZ tours, but this specific one is a one of its kind :) So glad we went on this tour - everyone should do it, you won’t regret it :) And Eddie: thank you so much for the amazing tour and your enthusiasm! We’ve learned so much and are really impressed by all that we heard and saw today. THANK YOU! You really are one of the greatest guides we’ve ever had. Thank you for the photo’s. We’ll keep the memories for ever.

Day Trip to Nami Island with The Garden of Morning Calm

Liz_J, Apr 2026

Thank you

Korea’s natural beauty is absolutely breathtaking — from lush green mountains to the serene waterways around the Garden of Morning Calm and Nami Island, every view felt like a postcard come to life. Zip-lining into Nami Island was such a thrill, soaring over the river with the wind rushing past and the trees spreading out below. The speedboat ride added even more excitement — fast, fun, and unforgettable! Sampling all the different local snacks was another highlight — each one delicious and full of unique Korean flavors. A huge thank-you to our guide, June, for being so friendly, informative, and making the whole experience even more special. And special appreciation to our bus driver, who navigated the busy Saturday traffic with such care and patience. It was an incredible day — adventure, culture, and nature all perfectly combined!

Mr Jimmy is amazing! It was a great experience, we felt very welcomed and taken care of 💛 DMZ is a good piece of tragic history and the suspension bridge is a very beautiful sightseeing spot. Also, Mr Jimmy was the first guide ever who memorized all our names. A small gesture but very thoughtful. Absolutely recommend this tour 💛

DMZ alternative tour

We had booked a DMZ tour but found out a few days prior that the DMZ was closed due to a marathon event. We opted to do the “alternative tour” and we were not disappointed. Dora was a very fun and knowledgeable tour guide. She shared a lot of stories and information in a fun way, that both my parents and my children could enjoy! The alternative tour included the peace park with a gondola ride, a question and answer time with a North Korean Defector, and we ended the tour at the Odusan Unification Tower. My mom said this experience was the highlight of her trip to Korea. Thanks, Dora!

Suwon: Hwaseong Fortress/Folk Village/Starfield Library Tour

Krishna_M, Apr 2026

Great day of New and Old

We had an excellent tour to Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, made even better by our guide Philip. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history and significance of the site, but also brought a great sense of humour that kept the whole group engaged throughout the day. Philip did a fantastic job keeping everyone together and ensuring we stayed on schedule without ever feeling rushed. Everything ran smoothly, and we were able to fully enjoy each stop along the way. The highlights for us were the two cultural demonstrations, which were both fascinating and well-timed, as well as a visit to the stunning Starfield Library, which was an unexpected and memorable addition to the day. Highly recommend this tour—especially if you get Philip as your guide

The best tour experience capturing all the important sights!

Bella was amazing from VIP Travels. Her energy was so radiant that just lifted our mood! She was very patient, extremely knowledgeable, and so attentive to our group. There was a family traveling in our tour group with a toddler (21 months) alongside my parents who are seniors, and she provided all of us with the utmost care. This is my first time using viator and because of Bella, I am so excited to book my next tour.. hopefully she will be our tour again!!!

Ultimate Korea DMZ Tour from Seoul (JSA Museum & Bridge Crossing)

timothyreeves56, Apr 2026

Great Tour, But My Glutes Are Still Screaming

This was an excellent trip overall, and our guide, Gabby, was absolutely outstanding. However, I have some thoughts for anyone who isn’t a marathon runner or a morning person. The Suspension Bridge: I skipped this entirely. The tour leaves before 7:00 AM, and quite frankly, I preferred my pillow to a bridge. No regrets. The 3rd Tunnel: I’ve decided to rename this the "3rd Tunnel of Aggression." You trek down 300 meters only to crawl single-file for what feels like an eternity. At the end? You get a tiny window looking at a "botanical garden" and a piece of machinery that looks like it was designed to bring Frankenstein back to life. The Ascent: The climb back up that ramp is not for the faint of heart. Unless you’re looking for a near-death cardio experience, I’d suggest staying above ground. The tunnel takes about 45 minutes round-trip, which is time much better spent exploring the actual buildings and exhibits. All in all, it was a great day out—just maybe skip the underground hike unless you’re training for the Olympics!

Excellent Day with Suni

We spent the day seeing the most interesting sights of Seoul which is an unremarkable start this review. What was amazing, as we drove around town and walked key sights, was the sheer volume of knowledge about Korean history and culture that Suni brought to bear, all of it delivered with aplomb. We were in such great hands...without question this was the best introduction to a new city that we've ever had. Even when the unexpected popped up, Suni didn't miss a beat and ensured that we were always comfortable. We were so grateful. Needless to say we recommend this tour and Suni in particular.
