Visit in Winter - Jimmy is a knowledgeable and easy going guide who has a very comfortable people mover van for napping on the way home. I had lots of questions about Korean life and history which he was able to answer. Going to these tourist spots in winter meant we had the places almost to ourselves, just dress warmly and wear good walking shoes in case of ice.

Seoul countryside with Jimmy! - Going to Andong-so going there requires a long car drive- and Jimmy made the ride exceptional. He’s easy to talk to and great at explaining the history of the area. The time flew by! The Vilkage was serene and charming.. it was a gorgeous fall day so I really enjoyed walking around! Perfect day in Seoul ❤️

Visit of Hahoe Village, great experience - Very interesting (and long) day trip from Seoul. Benny Kim was our driver and guide for the day and he was great. Full of explanations and facts about Korea in general and about Hahoe village in particular, as well as extremely caring and diligent. It was a real pleasure & chance to have him!

Just Awesome - Despite being a long drive from Seoul, Mr Kim maximized the best parts of the trip. We viewed Andong Village from a high cliff and enjoyed the topography of the entire UNESCO site. We loved the restaurant he took us to and ate like Koreans. Visiting the village enhanced our appreciation for Korean History. He introduced us to a visiting renounced Korean Scholar who has lineage to the families of Village and heard more stories of this historic site. Mr. Kim pointed out the tree planted by Queen Elizabeth II. We visited an old school house that had beautiful views. This would have been a distraction for me if I were a student. Mr. Kim catered to our love of history. This tour is a must to visit. Thank you Mr. Kim for taking good care of us during the trip.

Wonderful day despite the rain! - We had a full and fulfilling day with BJ. Everything ran like clockwork from the hotel pick-up to our early evening return. It is a long drive to Hahoe Village from Seoul, 3 - 3.5 hours with heavy traffic, but it was easy to relax and enjoy the incredible scenery. BJ is a great conversationalist, sharing information on Korean history and personal anecdotes that made the time fly. We appreciated that he understood our preference for a lighter lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the local place he took us to. I truly felt privileged to have been a patron when I learned that the restaurant sees few Americans. The stops - cliff overlook, Confucian Academy, Village, and Mask Museum met all expectations. Fascinating peek into Korean life as it was and still is in this living historical village. This was an area I had researched as a DIY venture, but the logistics on public transport were more than I wanted to undertake. The tour was perfect - all transport was personalized and BJ’s excellent guiding provided so much more than we could have experienced on our own. I highly recommend Outdoors Korea for tours to Hahoe - and ask for BJ!!

Worth it! - Jimmy is great! You should definitely take this tour with him! He tells you a lot about the culture and history but also gives you a little time to yourself to explore the site.

Forever family memories - Something for all ages. We had a large family group and we were able to create forever memories together. Benny (our guide) is incredible. So friendly and informative. There are too many images to describe. I can wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

Best day in Korea - We got to experience Andong Hahoe village with our driver BJ. This was our favorite day in Korea and we got to learn so much about Korea. BJ did a great job explaining the cultural significance of the village and showing us where to get the best traditional food. We also learned a lot about BJ and he was a patient driver with such a long day. If you are looking to experience old Korea we strongly suggest this. We have a whole new respect for the country and their heritage after spending the day with BJ. We went on a weekday and this was helpful as crowds were very minimal.
