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 plants which boasted their beauty in Spring, Summer, and Fall start preparing for winter. Birds’ songs and the sound of water flowing under ice, which can be heard in silence in nature while you walk on the path covered with white snow, will clear your mind. When it becomes dark on a cold winter night, the garden starts waking up slowly as lights are turned on. The festival which starts every December and continues until March of the next year.

Although I had booked the tour with a stop at the Garden of Morning Calm, I was booked on a different tour without the garden, but with Rail Bike. I only found out about this the day before when the detailed travel information was sent out. When I wanted to cancel the tour, I was offered the correct tour for two days later. At least. Regarding the tour itself, I can say that all three stops are worth it. Beautiful places, but you are always under time pressure and the constant checking of the clock is annoying.

Beautiful places, but you are always under time pressure and the constant checking of the clock is annoying. One less stop would benefit the tour and the experience. Positive: Alex as the tour guide, the sights, and the good communication via WhatsApp. Negative: the unilateral rescheduling to another tour without informing me at first, the seat on the bus (we were really traveling for a long time and I had to sit the whole time with my legs bent in the seat over the rear wheel), the time pressure, and not being brought back to the original meeting point. (I can understand that. That would further extend the workday for the tour guide and bus driver, who have already bravely managed more than a 12-hour day) Conclusion. Make the tours shorter, inform in a timely manner about changes, and everyone will be happy!
Vielen Dank für Ihre ausführliche Rückmeldung und dafür, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, Ihre Erfahrung so detailliert zu teilen. Zunächst möchten wir uns aufrichtig dafür entschuldigen, dass Ihre ursprüngliche Buchung ohne vorherige Benachrichtigung geändert wurde. Das hätte nicht passieren dürfen. Wir nehmen diesen Vorfall sehr ernst und prüfen intern, wie es dazu kommen konnte, damit sich so etwas nicht wiederholt. Ihre Hinweise zum Zeitdruck bei den einzelnen Stationen und zur Sitzplatzsituation im Bus haben wir an unser Planungsteam weitergegeben. Beides sind Punkte, die wir in die Überarbeitung unserer Tourabläufe einbeziehen werden. Es freut uns sehr, dass Alex als Tourguide und die Sehenswürdigkeiten selbst Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen haben. Wir hoffen, Sie bei einer zukünftigen Tour erneut begrüßen zu dürfen.
S.A travels have 3 convenient pick up locations. Our tour started at Alpaca World. Where you can get up close with the Alpacas, you can feed them and take photos. Afterwards we had lunch at Nami Island. I would recommend the Chuncheon Chicken Dakgalbi absolutely delicious lunch. After lunch we took the boat to Nami Island which is roughly takes 10 minutes there and back. Beautiful place to visit. Then we visited Petite France and Italian Village, afterwards we went to The Garden Of Morning Calm which was my personal highlight of the day, it is possibly the most beautiful garden place I have visited in my life this was absolutely mesmerising. A special thank you to our tour operator Yamy forget positive energy andthe way she communicated with throughout the day🙂🙏
Thank you for choosing SA Tour for your journey in South Korea. We are very happy you had a great experience with our guide and our tour. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.
I think the time allocated to visit three places could be distributed only between visiting the island and the calm morning garden, as it is the most interesting and has the least amount of time allocated, especially the last place.
Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We sincerely apologize that this trip did not meet your expectations and regret any inconvenience caused. We understand that your main concern was that the time allocated across the three attractions felt too rushed, and you would have preferred to spend more time focusing on Nami Island and the Garden of Morning Calm, especially as the last stop had limited visiting time. After internal review, the itinerary is arranged based on overall route planning and travel distance between attractions. The time spent at each location may vary depending on actual traffic conditions and on-site circumstances on the day. The estimated duration for each attraction is also stated on the product page for reference. On the day of travel, the schedule was carried out according to the planned arrangement without any changes. Regardless of the reasons, we acknowledge that the inconvenience caused is an area where we need to improve. Please accept our sincere apologies, and we truly appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention. While this situation does not fall within our refund policy, we have submitted your valuable feedback to our management team and relevant departments. We will further review and optimize itinerary pacing, time allocation, and operational SOPs to enhance the overall travel experience and avoid similar situations in the future.

If you require any further assistance, please feel free to contact us anytime. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide you with a better experience in the future.
Our guide Mina was fantastic. I would recommend this tour to see all 3 places. If you want a slower pace to enjoy Nami Island I suggest doing that as a half day trip on your own.
Thank you for choosing us! We hope you had a great time in South Korea and look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.
Great tour with Mina. She provided a lot of history about South Korea. I especially enjoyed feeding the alpacas.
Thank you for choosing us! We hope you had a great time in South Korea and look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.
I had a wonderful trip on my birthday. Zero was helpful and kind. There is so much to see and do on Nami Island. My favorite part was zip lining onto the island.
Thank you for choosing SA Tour for your Korean journey. We hope the experience exceeded your expectations, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.
