This was a fantastic tour. Our guide, Cecilia, was extremely knowledgeable about Korean history and even broke down the kings of the josean era seen frequently in Korean dramas. Cecelia has a very welcoming personality and does a great job of giving you a preliminary tour and enough free time to explore any stop on your own. This is a tour I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Korea who want a glimpse of the country's past. Thank you Cecilia for the amazing tour!

Had a great trip with our guide Joon. I really liked the organization about the timing and excursions. Both guided tours and some free time in each location. Also compliments to Joon about keeping up the pace, because typically you end up just slowly walking through all the locations. Saw some great sights, learned about the history and tried some local delicacies. Overall, recommended.

We had a lovely day visiting the town, the wall, and market. Gina, the tour guide, explained everything very clearly and made the atmosphere great. The town is amazing. I wish we had something like that back home. It is made of original buildings transported to this site. Good food. Immersive. Passionate workers. I could spend a whole day here. The wall was picturesque. We went on a sunny day in late November. The market was nice. Busy and full of things to try. I would recommend knowing where things are before arriving.

Joon was very informative and patient with everybody in the group. Couldn’t recommend him more in this folk village and fortress tour.

This was a very enjoyable tour. The 3 hour period for the Korean Folk Village was plenty. After the guided tour part there was lots of time to wander around at my own pace. The tour around the fortress was informative and interesting. The last stop at the traditional market was fascinating, it's a very different experience to markets in Europe. Our guide June was very clear on timing and where we had to be and when. She was helpful and informative. I would definitely recommend this tour.

The places we visited, especially the Folk Village, was very nice but we needed a lot more time at the site to fully appreciate it. I felt rushed the whole time. Having headsets was a plus.
