Suwon Tour Reservation (Waujeongsa Temple, Hwaseong, Starfield, Kimbap experience). The guide, Patrick, was early at the meeting point and took the time to explain the day's program to us. Each part of the tour was very well organized and clear. Patrick is smiling and very kind. I highly recommend this guide for a day of sightseeing.
We had a great time with Seongbae Kim. He gave us a lot of historical and general information of his beautiful country, South Korea. We felt safe, relaxed and well taken care of with his respectful and calm manners. We give him a ten.
Seongbae our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke good English. We had a nice history lesson throughout the tour. The Waujeongsa Temple was beautiful and the hanbok experience was a lot of fun. I would recommend this tour if you’re traveling to South Korea.
Our guide, Philip, was really nice and funny. He knew how to capture everyone's attention with his historical anecdotes told like K-dramas. We had a very good time, and the sites visited were absolutely magnificent.
