Suwon Trip with Travis! - We went to Suwon Fortress with Travis. He was very kind and explained the history of the place and its usage quite nicely. When we went to the cave, he also went to go see if one of their activities were open, before letting us go there to check ourselves. Very helpful and respectful of everyone’s time.

Wonderful! - The itinerary was really beautiful, we had a lot of free time so we could see the attractions at our pace. The guide guy, Travis, was really kind and explained things really well. He made himself available for every curiosity or adjunctive information we wanted.

Packed with a Varierty of Amazing Sceneries. - If you're on a tight schedule and looking to make the most of your time in South Korea, this is an amazing one day tour to learn about South Korea's heritage, shop a little, and several opportunities to take memorable pictures. Our tour guide, Steven, was an excellent host and was very considerate, punctual, professional, and friendly. He was especially helpful at the UNESCO heritage site and Gwangmyeong cave, not only briefly educating us but taking the time to take pictures for our group. Something I did not expect and was very pleased with, especially with some of the great creative pictures he took for us. Speaking of pictures, if you're primary interest is taking stunning beautiful pictures, then this tour is for you. You'll visit several places, so you will have a variety of natural and city sceneries to create the perfect backdrop for your next eye catching photo for family, friends, or social media. The Starfield Mall's Library itself has seemingly infinite possibilities for your ideal photo since it spans several floors, allowing you to try out several different composition options. You will be given ample time to explore the site and take photos, but you'll still be on a tight schedule. Steven will also give you some great recommendations about interesting spots you may like to see and take photos at. Since I was doing this trip blind, I appreciated his recommendations. At the end of our trip, we were dropped off at Myeong-dong which I was able to explore. I would consider this a benefit if you're looking to explore the street market and wide variety of shops in the area as the sun sets. Overall, this is an amazing one day trip that I believe was fully worth it. Even if you have no prior knowledge like me, this was a memorable tour experience that can be done by yourself or with a small group. There's lots to see on this tour, so, take in the sights and don't forget to take photos.
