Fun Suwon Experience

Published on Mar, 2025

It was a wonderful trip to Suwon with our guide Mr.Jonnathan Kim who explained the history of Korea at the folk village and the fortress wall with fun little personal anecdotes.

I would do it again :)

Published on Oct, 2024

Although the weather was not the best (it was raining a lot), our guide Jonathan Kim managed to make the most of it. We had a great time in the folk village and he explained to us a lot of interesting things about Joseon culture. The Hwaseong fortress light show was cancelled due to the rain, but we had a good time in the Chicken Street instead. Overall, a tour a would recommend if you want to visit the impressive Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon and a Folk village. He even took a lot of beautiful pictures for us to remember the day ^^. Thank you!

Good for checking out traditional Korean sights

Published on Sep, 2024

Sally was a great tour guide, she kept a nice leisurely pace and gave us plenty of time to rest if needed. She was knowledgeable and showed us good highlights of the tour sights. I wouldn’t recommend this for young children, it may get boring for them as the kids in our group had a hard time with sitting still or keeping the tour audio earbuds in their ears and would just wander.

Korean Folk Village

Published on Sep, 2024

The folk village is an excellent choice to explore, enjoy and eat Korean food. Suwon fortress was amazing. The place is a good place for family since it has picnic area along water stream with an amusement park for children.

An informative and worthy experience

Published on Sep, 2024

Overall, my wife and I really enjoyed this tour. The guide was very informative and friendly. I wasn't sure what to expect in the village but I thought it would be a functioning village where people lived. It was more like an outdoor museum. Not saying I was misled or anything like that, I either didn't read enough or just made my own assumption. But still enjoyed the history and looking at the old buildings. I would recommend bringing sunscreen and an umbrella for the fortress tour if it's summer. It was very hot with a lot of full sunlight. Last thing has more to do with visiting Korea in general, download the Papago app to help with translating. It has been incredibly useful for our visit in general and really helpful at the market at the end of this tour.
