  • The rain didn’t stop us having fun.

    Jeff was a good host, giving a lot of information about the Fortress and surrounds. Although it was a rainy day, we explored and enjoyed the experience. The fortress was impressive. The Starfield Library was incredible. The cultural village visit was short and very wet, but definitely worth visiting-we could imagine how wonderful it would be on a fine day.

    Peter Pan is very passionate with history and is reflected on his tour. He takes the time to share the history with movie clips and pictures so we can better understand. It was a small group of 12 people. We really enjoyed it.

    For a bus tour, I was highly impressed! I would recommend going. There's a good mix of guided time and free time. Enough time at each stop to not feel super rushed. More time would be nice at the stops but really that is not feasible with corralling so many people. We got lucky - the group size was 22 people but could've been been 40+ people. We also lucked out that each place visited was not crowded.

  • Great Tour. Felt like walking Through a historic K Drama.

    Really great itinerary for this tour. So many historic sites that allowed my imagination to wonder what it was like during this era. Jeff provided some really interesting history about the era.

    Our tour guide, Peter was great. He explained the history of each sight we visited, so the tour was a lot more than just sightseeing; It was a verrryy entertaining history lesson. He showed modern movie clips depicting life in those times, shared his own personal experiences connecting Korea’s present to its past, and managed to get in a little karaoke on the bus ride. Loved his music selection for the bus rides.

    Great Tour that gave us a glimpse of the Joseon dynasty. Our guide Peter Pan (really, that’s his name) was such fun. He shared his knowledge of Korean History with us and even added historical K drama clips to make us understand. As this was done in May, it was quite hot, so do remember to bring a bottle of water

  • A bit of culture and history in Seoul

    Peter was a good guide and gave relatable anecdotes regarding Korean history and culture. Travelled with large family group with two seniors. Was a tiring for them due to the walks, stairs, and inclines, especially at Suwon Hwaseong Fortress. Lunch at COEX was a bit hectic too due to public holiday. Would have wanted more time at the Korean Folk Village (would suggest to skip COEX and have lunch at the village instead if possible).
