Built along the coast, Petite France is a French themed village, with beautifully constructed french architecture. Petite France is also a popular drama filming site which was featured in many shows such as "Running Man" and "You Who Came From the Stars".
Nami Island is especially famous during winter after K-Drama Winter Sonata was filmed there. Nami Island is 63 km away from Seoul in the direction of Chuncheon, and is famous for its beautiful tree lined roads. The island is 30 minutes away from Chuncheon and an hour away from the suburbs of Seoul. Since it is not far from Seoul, many couples and families come to visit.
The Garden of Morning Calm showcases the beauty of Korean horticulture before the backdrop of Chungryeongsan Mountain. Visitors can walk among a profusion of flowers in unique gardens and through a lush forest of pine nut trees. The garden was opened in May 1996 by horticultural professor Han Sang-kyung, and features 20 different themed sections, connected by scenic walkways. The Sunken Garden is shaped like the Korean Peninsula and is carpeted with beautiful flowers on both sides representing the desire for South and North Korea to be reunited. It is easily one of the garden's most popular and meaningful attractions. The garden houses about 5,000 kinds of plants, including 300 varieties native to Baekdusan Mountain, known as a spiritual mountain to the Korean people. The garden has served as a filming site for many productions.

Great tour ruined by our tour guide Noel. He was basically just driving us from place to place, where he would drop us off and we would be on our own, but he was not providing any quality information about the places we were visiting, no interesting or useful information, fun facts or stories. For example, I had to google information to find out about Nemi Island. I contacted the company to find out if this was a self guided tour, which it felt like it. We had to figure things out on our own. He was acting solely as a driver. On top of everything his driving was horrible. He would simultaneously using break and gas pedal. It was constant stop and go action. People in a car were getting nauseous. Little Italy and France is total waste of time, very outdated, feels like a movie set. Nothing special about it. Alpaca world was great, these animals are so adorable and they had other animals as well. Garden was nice, but we arrived so late, 30 min to park closing that we had to rush to see around.
Respected guest, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We are very sorry that your experience was affected by the guide's performance and driving. The service level you described falls far short of our expectations for the team. We fully understand how disappointing it is to feel unsupported and uncomfortable on the journey. We have reported this to our operations team, and the guide will undergo retraining to ensure better communication, storytelling, and safe driving in future trips. Your comments on the garden and the times for attractions in Little France and Italy have also been internally reviewed and improved. We sincerely thank you for your feedback, as it helps us do better. Despite this experience, we hope you will give us another chance to provide you with a smoother and more enjoyable Korea next time.
Very Fun Experience if you first time visit Korea, Highly recommended. Especially you don't have to worry about the transportation and lunch, tour guide was very friendly.
Thank you for your positive review, we hope we could provide our service again in near future.
Very disappointed with this tour especially with our tour guide Noel. This was supposed to be a guided tour. Noel did not provide any of the information or insights that we anticipated. Instead, he solely acted as a driver. We received no explanations or background about the sights we visited. All the information we did get came from the brochures. We contacted the agency regarding this and they were completely disregarding and ignoring the issue and saying that “The tour guide asked for more free time because of other guests. Take as much free travel time as possible.” Given the lack of insight or commentary from the guide, the tour was severely overpriced. I wouldn't recommend this company if you're looking for a truly informative and engaging experience. The tour description clearly stated (and the agency confirmed) that this was a guided tour. We asked for the refund but they wouldn’t give it to us. We Extremely disappointed and DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!
Thank you for your feedback. We will re-educate our guide and apologize for your inconvenience.

The tour was fantastic! The garden of morning calm was definitely our favorite and the local meal we had before Nami Island. Jesse was a fantastic tour guide and made the trip even better with his kindness and knowledge
It was a fun and interesting trip that enable us to visit 5 attractions away from Seoul without any fuss with the transportation provided. The guide Jaemin (Jesse) is a helpful knowledgeable guide that converse well in English and provide us with a lot of useful tips for visiting the attractions and tour in Seoul.
