A Great Trip - Thanks to our guide Sean Kim! He arranged a great trip for us, and helped me take many precious photos during the visit. The places are really worth going, and the temple, the library, the museum and the historic site all give me an amazing impression!

Spring in summer - We had a wonderful time visiting the fortress, wowjeongsa, the library, the seaweed and kimchi factory. The weather is burning hot but April made it so comfortable for us like a spring in summer. Will recommend.

Excellent tour with an awesome tour guide - We had a good time on this tour. It has a little bit of everything - enlightening experience at the temple; modern experience at Starfield, and historical one at the fortress. Andrew is an excellent tour guide, very friendly, and makes sure his guests gain a backstory of each place we visited.
