Seoul: Suwon Hwaseong Fortress & Korean Folk Village Tour

1.Suwon Hwaseong Fortress & Korean Folk Village Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 214 reviews · 10 - 11 hours · from $74Our pick

Spend 10 to 11 hours outside Seoul with an English, Chinese, or Korean speaking guide. Explore Joseon era homes and performances at the Korean Folk Village, walk Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, then sample snacks at Nammun Market. Guides such as Joon, Laura, and Jonathan are known for lively explanations.

“This was a fun way of spending a day. I particularly loved the Korean Folk village, I could have spent there more time than the allocated 3 hours 😄 Unfortunately the bus didn't have USB charging ports so I'd recommend taking a power bank. Also, lunch break is quite early - around 11-12, at the end of the Folk village visit, so good to have some snacks for the rest of the day.”

Yongin Dae Jang Geum Park Tour from Seoul

2.Yongin Dae Jang Geum Park Tour from Seoul

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 176 reviews · from $50Best value

Travel from Myeong-dong to Yongin Dae Jang Geum Park, a large outdoor set with Joseon-era palaces, homes, streets, and fortress walls. Guides such as Sophie, Leo, Jung, and Grace explain filming locations and drama scenes. Expect hills, stairs, a possible buggy fee, and no guarantee of live filming.

“Other than pick-up/drop off the tour was poorly organized. Description of Dae Jang Geum did not indicate the terrain was so hilly that a shuttle car was required to view the entire site. Shuttle car availability was "hit/miss" with an additional charge for its use. The only coffee shop/restaurant was at the top with no real rest area at the bottom. The Tour needs to provide a better description of what the movie set offers for visitors.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 52 reviews · from $80

“This is by far the worst tour we have ever booked and we have booked many tours in different countries. About two hours before the start of the tour, the tour guide asked us to arrive early for no reason. The information given during the tour was sparse and superficial, reduced to the bare minimum. In a nutshell: It was a waste of a lot of money.”
