Top Seoul Day Trips - page 3

Our tour was led by Josh and we had a wonderful time! The tour lasted a lot longer than I expected, and it was much more than I expected. The tour starts with a two hour drive out of Seoul to the Alpaca World. The Alpaca show at the beginning was so fun. It's actually more of a zoo, so it's more than just the alpacas. The zoo is very VERTICAL up a hill, so it's quite a trek to see all the animals. But my kids loved being able to feed and pet the alpacas and also being in close contact with some of the other animals. The zoo is hard for people with limited mobility. You only get about 2 hours there before you have to leave for the next destination. The next destination is to lunch that you pre-order and pay for separately. There's a limited menu since it's a tour and you have a choice of a spicy chicken or soy sauce chicken with rice and pancake. It's okay. Not the best food I'd had in Korea, but it got the job done. After lunch, you walk across the street to the rail park. That was really fun and unexpected. My kids loved the rail bike tour. It was a nice trip through the countryside. The rail bike is a one way trip. At the end, you board their "Love Train" to the final stop where you get picked up by the tour bus to take you to Nami Island an hour away. Nami Island is for fans of the KDrama, Winter Sonata. It’s an island you have to take a ferry to, so you have to be mindful of catching the ferry before you head home. The island is beautiful and has a lot to explore. Way more than you can explore in the 2 hours they give you to walk around. Plus, you need to make sure to get dinner on your own before you make the two hour drive back to Seoul. We left Nami Island at 6pm and didn’t get back to Seoul until 8PM, but we napped most of the way back and time went quickly. They dropped us off in the Hongdae area. Josh was a delight as the tour guide and we had a lot of fun. But my kids (11 & 7) were worn out from all the activities in one day.

I had an amazing experience on the DMZ tour, and it was one of the highlights of my trip to South Korea. The itinerary was well organized, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. A special thanks to our guide, Heather, who made the tour truly exceptional. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Korean history. She explained everything in a clear and engaging way, answered all our questions with patience, and shared fascinating stories that brought each location to life. Her professionalism, energy, and sense of humor made the long day enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Korea, especially if you’re interested in learning about the country’s history and the significance of the DMZ. Thank you, Heather, for making it such a wonderful experience❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This was an amazing day filled with beautiful sights and great experiences. Our guide Jesse was super kind and helpful and kept the day running smoothly. He also coordinated our lunch orders while on the bus so our tasty meal (including some vegetarian options) was ready promptly and enjoyed by all before our Nami Island adventure. Each destination of the tour- The Rail Park, Nami Island and The Garden of Morning Calm- were each so enjoyable and everyone will fondly remember this day! I highly recommend this tour!
