Great tour - 3/17/24 Katherine-ha was an exceptional tour guide. She organized this wonderful tour concisely. Very specific itinerary, she explained the historical and cultural importance of the places we visited, plus more. She is kind, friendly and helpful. The only downside (for the company?) was: We were all (everyone in the bus) picked-up from the Myeongdong location we opted for, close to our hotels, because it was convenient for us tourists not knowing our way around. We requested to be returned to the original pickup place but was told “no” due to heavy traffic when we return. We were dropped off to a farther location. This was disappointing after a long, cold and tiring 12 hour-day. When we reached the Myeongdong area (original meeting point), after getting lost finding our way back, the traffic was free-flowing since it is a Sunday. Otherwise, really a great day!

Thanks to our guide a really enjoyable day - This tour takes the whole day and starts early in the morning, therefore I was a little hesitant at first. Afterwards I can say that I am happy I took the trip. The highlight was without a doubt the alpaca world. You get closer to these animals than you might expect, which makes it really special. An added bonus to the tour was our guide Katherine, who was always willing to go the extra mile to make the day a special one for all of us. The level of entertainment on the bus was always high thanks to her. Really recommend this tour and S.A. Tour with their guides.

Alpacas - Our tour guide Sam was really good and helpful. His knowledge was very good and the overall tour was well designed. I will recommend this to my friends.

A great choice of activities - Tour guide very well organised and day well balanced! Thank you we enjoyed our day very much! :) Would recommend to others.

This is an excellent tour... - This is an excellent tour with a great mix of fun, culture and beauty. Our tour guide, Katharine, was excellent. She was knowledgeable, had a fantastic personality and made the day a lot of fun. She was kind, helpful and personable. The alpaca farm was fun and she took lots of photos and videos for all the people on the tour, preserving those memories for us. Nami island and the Garden of Morning Calm were spectacularly beautiful and I'm so glad we were able to visit them while in Korea. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Korea.

Amazing - best day in Korea! - We had a great tour with our guide James. He did it very well and showed us everything. He made it possible to drove by Zipline to the Nami island and explained us everything. He made sure that we feel comfortable and aknowledged our wishes. Would definitely recommend him and his tour! Best wishes the three scouts from Austria.

A fun variety of experiences that get you out of Seoul for the day - One of the best parts of the tour was our guide Joe Park, he was very funny and entertaining and super helpful. It was very clear he cared that everyone was enjoying their time both on the tour and in Korea in general! I had signed up for an English tour but not enough people to run it so was put on a Mandarin tour that also went to Petite France and the Italian Village. Joe did a great job leading the tour in Mandarin and English so all could understand, but I could have gone without the French and Italian amusement parks which were included in that version of the tour. The Alpaca parade was way more fun than I was expecting, Nami island was cool to explore, and my favorite was the Garden which we visited last in the early evening and was extremely beautiful and not as busy as the other locations. Overall it was an enjoyable day outside of Seoul!

Nami - Nami Island and Garden of Morning Calm were tranquil spots and nice to be in the Korean countryside.

Okay - mostly for photo ops - This is a longggg day. There is a LOT of driving. I think there is too much fit together into this tour. Alpaca world was interesting but I don’t know if it’s worth going so far out of the way unless you are just really excited about the animals they have (have more than just alpacas). Nami island was pretty but we didn’t have much time on the island. The main attraction is to pretty much take photos. It’s nice for fall colors but super busy. Again, not sure it’s worth the driving. The gardens were pretty and for photos but again it was far away. Overall glad I at least saw these things but I don’t know if I’d recommend this tour unless you have nothing else to do. It’s basically a 12 hour day with half of the day sitting in the tour bus. Also, it’s not really as much of an informative tour. Our guide was nice but I don’t think I learned anything or heard anything informative on this tour. It’s basically a photo op tour.

Should have been a good tour if it pushed through as planned. - We booked Alpaca World, Nami Island and Garden of Morning Calm tour, but the day before we were about to go on the tour, the operator contacted us that they did not have enough people join this tour so they cancelled it and offered us a free upgrade to the same tour but with an additional stop at Le Petit France/Italian Village. Since we had no other option at such a last minute, and our objective was really to go to Alpaca World and Nami Island, we decided to take this upgrade. However, it turns out, the areas are so far so we were rushing the whole time. We did not even have time to have a proper lunch meal. I think we only spent a total of 1 hour in Nami Island. In my opinion I think you need at least 2 hours in Nami Island as it's so beautiful, but we barely explored the island. By the time we reached the Garden of Morning Calm (which was absolutely beautiful and worth the trip), the sun had already set and so we were rushing through the gardens. I think we only had 30 minutes of light before it became dark. Our tour guide, Lena, was very cheerful and helpful. We were such a big group so she managed as best as she could, but because she was always rushing us, most of the other people in the group were not happy about it. It would also probably help if the tour operator had a flag they can raise up so we can easily find our tour guide. We were all lost during the pickup in the morning because the meeting point was so big and there were so many people. During the tour, Lena basically ended up shouting for the various group numbers (we were 15 groups in our tour) to check if everyone is complete before moving to the next stop. There should be a more efficient way. I would recommend this tour, but skip the Le Petit France/Italian Village. More time in Nami Island and Garden of Morning Calm would have been better (which was our original booking).
