Nice time in Suwon - Great trip with Simon, who explained the palace and area and kept us informed and on time. Gave us good tips on what to do after, as well. I would have liked to spend 30min less at starfield and more time at the folk area but with the weather being rainy it was good for our day. Recommended!

Peter Pan's off to Neverland - Peter was a phenomenal guide. Always happy to help with a picture and very detailed about Korean history. Able to make a sly joke to keep everyone interested and teach about a wonderful culture. Definitely would recommend as a guide.

Unforgettable Suwon Tour with Peter - Today we toured the Suwon fortifications, visited the Starfield Library, and explored a traditional Korean village with Peter as our guide. It was an incredible experience full of fascinating insights about Korea’s past, present, and even future. Peter shared a huge amount of knowledge in a very engaging way, and we always had enough time to explore each place without feeling rushed. We were able to take beautiful photos and videos and truly enjoy the atmosphere. A wonderful day and unforgettable memories – highly recommended!

Great cultural experience ! - Peter was a great tour guide. He’s funny, light-hearted and very knowledgeable of Korean history. We learned a lot from him. This tour was definitely a great escape from the hustling of seoul. The destinations were all located in areas that are hard to reach, so being on a tour really bad it a very stress free experience. Experiencing the culture and tradition first hand will be very memorable for us.
