This tour, you will understand the life of Korea in olden times and the old city.
1. Folk village - fake village but all 230 buildings were relocated from across whole South Korea so building are authentic and you can literally understand the life of Korea in olden times.
2. Suwon hwaseong fortress - restored fortress but you can still witness the beauty and practicality of the fortress, this fortress is now popular among all age groups and it is getting even more popular nowadays.

I signed up for this tour after reading the great reviews and it did not disappoint. Miae was our guide and driver. The car was great and very clean. Miae gave us many interesting stories about the Folk Village and Hwaseong fortress which really helped us appreciate what we were visiting. She recommended a great place for lunch and we had fun with the traditional archery. A bonus was a short stop at the new Suwon Starfield library to soak in the vibes.

We enjoyed the Korean Folk Village and exploring Suwon and the fortress, learning not only about traditional culture but developing an understanding of modern day Koreans’ sense of their place in history. Luckily we were there during a traditional hair washing ritual and our teen got to participate. Our guide Juno was terrific - he shared a lot of useful information with us. Most memorable - our teen lost their phone in the village and since Apple location services don’t work in South Korea, we thought it was gone. Juno spent half an hour retracing our steps, calling lost and found and assuring us he would work with us to get the phone back if found. Together we found it and all felt a sense of relief! He truly went above and beyond for us - highly recommended.

Juno is an excellent tour guide who gave us a wonderful experience. He blended Korean history with modern issues to give us a broader understanding. We enjoyed the place he recommended we try for lunch and the views around the city. The folk village was also better than we expected. Highly recommend Juno and this tour

I have also posted a review of the Seoul and Vicinity tour by Top Korea Tours and our fantastic guide Juno. We were glad to spend our second day with him on this tour, and also happy that we got to see more countryside at this time of Autumn, when the Ginko leaves were in full color. We learned much on about the development of Seoul on the way to the Village, and he was very knowledgeable about all of the different exhibits/sites within the village. He managed the time very well, and the musical/dance performance we saw has been on of the biggest highlights of our trip so far. He was extraordinarily helpful in finding us a very “off the beaten path” place for an amazing lunch at the “Watermill” chicken restaurant which was nothing like the Korean food we’ve had in the USA, but is something that we will never forget. The fortress tour was also wonderful, and surprisingly interactive. (Korean Archery). Once again he was also very helpful in helping us find a place to buy necessities we had not packed for our trip. Highly recommended.

It was a complete tour during 5 days with my friends. It is a personalized service and you can change some plans depending on what do you feel like to do. Best experience we could have ask for. 100% recommended.

Great experience! Our tour guide was very informative, considerate and nice. She bought us special Korean candies to try. We had a great time. She took a bunch of photos for us.

What a fun day. The fortress was expansive with fun experiences like archery. I loved the folk village and being able to see real old houses and buildings from around Korea. The cultural dance and music show was a real treat. Miae made everything fun and interesting. She is knowledgeable and uses perfect English.

Our tour guide Miae was absolutely wonderful - even with the weather being a bit hairy she found such great things to do our first day, and it was so helpful to have someone who could guide and also teach us along the way! She was able to customize where we wanted to go, and on the second day took us to places we didn’t even think about visiting in Korea. It was such an unforgettable experience with her and she was so great with our kids that we recommended her right away to another family visiting Seoul with us and they booked her for a tour that same week as well! Her tour makes us want to come back and do another again the next time we are in Seoul — Thank you again for everything, Miae…
