      Fantastic tour to see the historical side of Korea so close to seoul

      Jamie_S, Oct 2026
      Han was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable, thoughtful and had some great recommendations for us to follow up on. He left us wanting to come back and explore more. Beautiful destination, lots to see and do and a different experience so close to Seoul. Well worth the tour

      Best Tour!

      The guide was very attentive, knowledgeable, and hospitable throughout the whole tour! He gave very insightful information about the history of the area and showed me around a few places with breathtaking views! I highly recommend! Whether you’re solo like I was or in a big group.

      We had a wonderful experience on this tour! Our guide Jae Won (Han) was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience so enjoyable. We saw amazing sights and learned so much along the way. We would definitely recommend this tour and would happily do it again!

      Han was a wonderful guide in Suwon. We appreciated his flexibility and that he let us experience riding the bus there. We truly enjoyed the Hwaseong Fortress tour and visiting the Starfield Library. It was also fun that he pointed out several K-drama filming locations along the way. He was knowledgeable, easygoing, and truly great at what he does. Highly recommended!

      Larry_F, Jul 2026
      Pretty basic. Gude was nice but the tour was nothing special. More like having someone accompany you at the various sites, which you can easily do on your own. The same info provided by the guide was available in English on the various info signs. Guide wanted us to take a bus to the site. After walking to the nearest bus stop, he then decided on us taking a taxi instead. Not what I was expecting. Okay tour, but way overpriced.

      The perfect tour guide for Suwon

      Lilibel_M, Jun 2026
      It was the perfect tour for me. Suwon has so much to offer, and exploring it with Jae One was the best choice. Thanks to him, I got to visit so many beautiful places, and he also took me to several K-drama filming locations. I would definitely book another tour with him.

      Suwon in May was nice

      Richard_C, May 2026
      It was a great experience in spite of the extreme humidity. Our guide Han was an excellent guide. I would hire him again.

      思っていた以上に良かったです😊

      スウォンのホテル前まで迎えに来てもらい、バスに乗って水原華城まで行き、韓国の歴史や文化について、丁寧に教えていただきました。とても穏やかでゆっくりと歩けて、素敵な時間を過ごせました。また、古いおしゃれな街並みでは、現地の方のように軽食をとり、世間話もできて、とても良かったです。ハンさん、ありがとうございました。
