The start of an exciting K-trip. A time to experience the real Korea.

“It was snowing before and the day of our tour and the tour locations were extra pretty because they were covered in snow. We were a small group of 7 and our tour guide was Mr. Nanhai. We were conveniently picked up at Myeongdong station and we travelled around in a van. We were particularly thankful to Mr. Nanhai because of how well he managed our tour. We were at the tour locations conveniently before the places get crowded. Our first stop was at a Hanbok rental where we had many designs to chose from. Then we walked to the Gyeongbokgung Palace which was across the street. The palace was beautifully covered in snow and Mr. Nanhai offered to take a picture of each group in front of the palace. Even though we were wearing thermals and light jacket under our hanbok, it was still very cold so after taking some good pictures, we stayed in an area and just let our son play in the snow. After returning our hanbok, we passed thru the Blue House and went to a Hanok Village where we walked around the place. It was Monday and apparently most of the stores were closed but we still had fun walking around the village. Mr. Nanhai took us to a good place for picture-taking and he again offered to take our pictures. After the walking tour, we had chicken ginseng soup at one of the local restaurants. It wasn't crowded when we arrived and we got to enjoy the nice warm chicken soup. People were starting to fill in at the restaurant and the other restaurants in the area when we finished our lunch. The place had a narrow staircase and people had to line up just to get in. After lunch, we headed to a place where we got to experience making the kimbap and where we got to see how they harvest and process the seaweeds. Our last stop was the N Seoul Tower. Because there was a heavy snowfall the day of the tour and the previous day, the way to the N Seoul tower was very beautiful as the hill and the trees were covered in snow. We spent the rest of the afternoon exploring the area.”

“Went to Alpaca World + Rail Bike + Nami Island. Overall the day trip was fantastic. However, wished that we could spend more time in Alpaca World and Nami Island as the time allocated seems pretty rushed.”

“Young was THE BEST tour guide we’ve had during our visit in Seoul. He contacted us the day before our tour to Nami Island and asked which main attractions we would like to visit. He was prompt on time. Van was very roomy. It fit all 5 of us comfortably. He gave us enough time to tour the places and took us to famous restaurant for lunch. He was very accommodating to our needs. Highly recommended for anyone who is visiting Seoul and prefer to tour the city at your own pace. Thanks for everything, Young! See you next time! :)”
