Our day in Suwon with Hun was absolutely incredible! From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely cared about making our experience special and creating a day that our family would remember forever. Hun was wonderful about communicating with me before the tour and making sure he understood what we wanted to see and experience. He was always available to answer questions and was incredibly flexible when it came to making adjustments to our itinerary. He didn’t just take us from one attraction to another—he really listened to what interested us and personalized the day around our family. Suwon was amazing, and having Hun there to explain the history and stories behind the places we visited made the experience so much more meaningful. He was incredibly knowledgeable, but he also made everything fun and interesting, especially for our two teenage sons, who are 14 and 16. One of the biggest highlights for us was that Hun knew how much we love K-dramas and went out of his way to find some iconic K-drama filming locations for us to visit. Getting to see these places in person was such a fun and unexpected part of our day! It was something we never would have been able to find or experience on our own, and it made the tour feel truly personalized to us. Hun also made sure we had plenty of opportunities to enjoy great food along the way. He was especially helpful with our picky eater and made sure there were options that everyone would enjoy. He even found fun places for our boys to take a break and cool off, which was much appreciated in the August heat! The spacious, air-conditioned van and hotel pickup and drop-off made the entire day comfortable and stress-free. We never felt rushed, and Hun always made sure we were enjoying ourselves. What impressed us most was how much thought and care Hun put into our entire experience. He went above and beyond what we expected and found ways to incorporate the things our family loves into the tour. It truly felt like we were exploring Korea with a friend who wanted us to have the best possible experience. This was a dream trip and a very special birthday trip for me, and experiences like our day in Suwon are what made it so unforgettable. Our family will be talking about these memories for years to come. If you are visiting Korea and want a tour that is personal, flexible, informative, and filled with memorable experiences, I cannot recommend Hun and his tour group enough. He is truly exceptional, and we are so thankful he was part of our trip!

Suwon Hwaseong Fortress
Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon, built in 1796, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although parts of it were damaged during the Korean War, it has been perfectly restored to its original form. Here, I’d love to share with you the political background and hidden stories of Korea from that time. We’ll visit Janganmun Gate, Banghwasuryujeong Pavilion, and Hwaseomun Gate. If walking feels difficult, we can drive between the sites to minimize walking and make the tour more comfortable.
Have you seen Lovely Runner? This café is one of the main filming locations along with Hwaseong Fortress. We’ll stop by the spot where Sunjae and Soli were and enjoy a cup of coffee together. But because of limited time, we hace to choose between here and starfield library.
Starfield Suwon
The Starfield Library is absolutely stunning! It hasn’t been open for long and is even more beautiful than the one in Seoul. But because of limited time, we hace to choose between here and starfield library.
Korean Folk Village
If you’ve watched Korean historical dramas, many scenes were likely filmed here. This place is large, beautiful, and truly impressive. The houses are actual traditional Korean homes that have been carefully relocated here. There’s also a fun ceremony prepared to make your visit more enjoyable. To give you the best explanation, we even invited a local farmer to help us — we've studied hard to share all the details with you. You can feel the lives of Koreans in the past and take beautiful photos to remember the experience.

Best tour ever!
Hun was a great tour guide and was very flexible with our schedule. He was able to adjust the schedule to accommodate all of our requests. We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour. We enjoyed our time in Suwon and would recommend this day trip to get out of the city.

Unforgettable Family Trip to Korea
lOur family recently spent an amazing week in Korea, and we’re so glad we chose Soo as our tour guide and service. From start to finish, everything was smooth, fun, and comfortable. Soo is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his country... he shared stories, local tips, and hidden gems that made our trip extra special. He went the extra mile to make sure everyone in our family, from our little one to our senior mom, felt comfortable and happy throughout the tour. You can really tell he loves what he does and genuinely cares about his guests. What we appreciated most was how flexible and attentive he was. He listened to what we wanted, adjusted the itinerary when needed, and made sure we saw the best of Korea without feeling rushed. Even during long drives, he kept the mood light with great conversation and humor. If you want to explore Korea comfortably, especially with kids or elders, we highly recommend Soo! You’ll see more, learn more, and truly enjoy the experience without any hassle. Thank you, Soo, for taking such good care of us! you made our family trip one to remember! 💙🇰🇷
