Pretty basic. Gude was...

Pretty basic. Gude was nice but the tour was nothing special. More like having someone accompany you at the various sites, which you can easily do on your own. The same info provided by the guide was available in English on the various info signs. Guide wanted us to take a bus to the site. After walking to the nearest bus stop, he then decided on us taking a taxi instead. Not what I was expecting. Okay tour, but way overpriced.

Operator response

Thank you for joining my Suwon tour and for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry the tour didn't fully meet your expectations. As it was an extremely hot day, I chose to pay for a taxi instead of waiting for the bus because I was concerned about your comfort. I do my best to keep my private tours competitively priced while providing a personalized experience as a licensed local guide. but I truly appreciate your feedback, and thank you for visiting my city Suwon again. I sincerely wish you all the best in your future travels.

The perfect tour guide for Suwon

It was the perfect tour for me. Suwon has so much to offer, and exploring it with Jae One was the best choice. Thanks to him, I got to visit so many beautiful places, and he also took me to several K-drama filming locations. I would definitely book another tour with him.

Suwon in May was nice

It was a great experience in spite of the extreme humidity. Our guide Han was an excellent guide. I would hire him again.
