“Phillip was hilarious - Personally I loved this trip as we got to see several major sites but also learn so much more about South Korea’s deep history. My husband is a history buff and really got immersed in the cave - it was nothing like we’ve ever experienced before. I also loved the fact we got to see the infamous Starfield Library in Suwon - it was a beautiful end and the overall shopping centre is magnificent.”

“Our tour guide Shin did a wonderful job, as my wife and I were the only ones on the tour, so we were wondering why there was no one else. It turns out that Shin knew so much about Korean history and he was easy to talk to. We learned so much about Korean history from Shin and we had a great time seeing the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, and other places. The fortress is really a must see at night, and I think that many tourists really miss out on the beauty and history of what this UNESCO place is, because it may not be as popular as other tours,…”
