Outstanding tour and tour guide - My husband, daughter and myself had a personal tour with Susu. Susu was an outstanding tour guide who spoke English. We hiked around the UNESCO Suwon Hwaseong Fortress wall. The hike went for approximately 4 hours. Suwon was so friendly and accommodating of our interests. She answered all of our questions and provided so much insight into the culture and history of Suwon. We had authentic Korean snacks along the journey which tasted amazing. As a bonus we also tried our hand at archery. The tour culminated with an authentic Korean lunch that was absolutely delicious. Thanks Suwon for the amazing experience and memories.

Worth it! - The guide was super nice and explained everything really well. Meeting at Suwon Station made it super easy, and since it was a mix of hiking and walking, it wasn’t too tough. Plus, it’s so close to Seoul, so I’d totally recommend checking out the Suwon Fortress hike.
