Exceptional day tour! - I highly recommend this tour of both the UNESCO Namhansanseong Fortress and Korean Folk Village. Each location is interesting and worthy of a visit on its own, but together they create a perfect combination of nature, history, and culture! This was our second tour with (Chance) Kim (after hiking up Baegundae Peak) and we enjoyed the day with him as he guided us through both sites. Namhansanseong Fortress is located in beautiful mountains outside of Seoul, and we had amazing views as we hiked along the fortress wall to the top of Namhansan mountain. After visiting the fortress, we stopped at a restaurant where Kim ordered a very large and delicious lunch. We then drove to the Folk Village where Kim gave us an extensive tour through the historical houses and village displays. He also gave us ample time to explore the village on our own, which was great! We were able to watch several musical and dance performances, wander through other parts of the village, and even shop for souvenirs and buy ice cream. Amazingly, in spite of the full day's itinerary, Kim managed to drop us off at our hotel exactly 9 hours after picking us up! I highly recommend this tour for everyone!

History 2 different ways - We had a wonderful private tour with our driver/guide David who explained the history of Namhansanseong Fortress brilliantly. It can be a bit of a steep climb/walk around the perimeter between gates but was well worth it. The Korean Folk Village was also interesting and we managed to see the show/parade before it poured with rain. We toured the complex with the rain but still had a great time exploring the different aspects of life between the classes.

Special experience - Culturally valid tour and capable and expert guide. Then with the snow even better, everything was very reliable and perfect. I also had an excellent impression on the visit to the village on ancient traditions and customs of Korea and the museum.

Amazing Day Tour - This private tour was absolutely amazing, we loved every single moment of it! Our tour guide Alfonso was super friendly and knowledgeable. He shared a lot about the history of the sites and was happy to answer all of our questions - and our 7yo had a lot of them! The tour was super organised and we enjoyed delicious Korean lunch together with our guide. Thank you so much for such a memorable day! Definitely recommend to go for it!

Best way to see the fortress and cultural village - Great hike up to one of the lesser visited but probably most scenic fortresses around Seoul. The cultural village was fantastic, with a great show featuring traditional Korean dance. A lot of great pictures in this place. Benny was the best tour guide. This was my second tour with him, ask for him by name. He was great company on the drive there and back

Private Tours are The Best - Our guide was Mr. Kim. Mr. Kim is a retired CEO from the banking world. He is one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. This was a private tour, he drive safely to and from Namhansanseong and the Korean Folk Village. Though the drive was long we had great conversations in the car. Because it was rainy we stopped off at the Korean Folk Village first. If you watch Korean kdramas, “The Moon Embracing the Sun”, “My Live From the Star”, “Queen for 7 Days”. This village transports you back in time. Next we stopped for lunch. We wanted to go to someplace special and we paid to go to one of the best barbecue places in Seoul. Unfortunately I can’t find the name. We ended the day at Namhansanseong Fortress. This was truly an amazing site. We couldn’t walk from gate to gate because of time and parking. To think this was constructed by hand. What was so great, Mr. Kim took amazing photographs of us. This was better than using the selfie stick! I highly recommend this tour and hopefully Mr. Kim will be your guide.

Don't waste your time - Spend your time elsewhere or on other tours while in South Korea. The wall and "village" that are visited during this tour are very disappointing. The guide was great and spoke excellent English.
