Getting to know Korea: Folk village and Suwon fortress

Published on Aug, 2024

This tour to the Korean folk village and the fortress at Suwon was a great day. Our guide Juno was pleasant, entertaining and shared much about Korea, its tumultuous history and frought past relations with Japan. We took away a stronger respect for the Korean people, their history and their culture. The folk village was a pleasant respite from the city. We learned how Korea had to rediscover its own culture after the Japanese occupation and rebuild after the Korean War. Crazy recent reminders of human struggles. Suwon fortress was beautiful and the preserved historic village within the fortress walls a historic remnant of life past. Highly recommend. Juno is great.

Super fun and informative!

We loved this tour with our tour guide Juno! Juno was super friendly and we really enjoyed talking with him as he showed us around the entire day. The Korean Folk Village was very cool to walk around and see how life in South Korea used to be. We also really enjoyed the musical and dance performances. Then Juno recommended a great restaurant for us to have lunch at, and we loved the beef galbi. We also loved walking around the fortress, trying the archery experience, and taking lots of photos. Juno made sure we were hydrated by providing us with complimentary water throughout the hot summer day. He offered to take pictures of us which we really appreciated and turned out really great. We are so thankful for Juno for sharing his culture with us! Highly recommended!!

Highly recommended and educational tour

Published on Jun, 2024

I signed up for this tour after reading the great reviews and it did not disappoint. Miae was our guide and driver. The car was great and very clean. Miae gave us many interesting stories about the Folk Village and Hwaseong fortress which really helped us appreciate what we were visiting. She recommended a great place for lunch and we had fun with the traditional archery. A bonus was a short stop at the new Suwon Starfield library to soak in the vibes.

Our guide went above and beyond

Published on Jun, 2024

We enjoyed the Korean Folk Village and exploring Suwon and the fortress, learning not only about traditional culture but developing an understanding of modern day Koreans’ sense of their place in history. Luckily we were there during a traditional hair washing ritual and our teen got to participate. Our guide Juno was terrific - he shared a lot of useful information with us. Most memorable - our teen lost their phone in the village and since Apple location services don’t work in South Korea, we thought it was gone. Juno spent half an hour retracing our steps, calling lost and found and assuring us he would work with us to get the phone back if found. Together we found it and all felt a sense of relief! He truly went above and beyond for us - highly recommended.

Perfect blend of old and new Korea

Published on May, 2024

Juno is an excellent tour guide who gave us a wonderful experience. He blended Korean history with modern issues to give us a broader understanding. We enjoyed the place he recommended we try for lunch and the views around the city. The folk village was also better than we expected. Highly recommend Juno and this tour
