SUWON TOUR - My friends and I had a really great time! Sir Andrew was very accommodating and entertaining too. He made the Suwon tour such a fun experience. We appreciated the Korean Heritage more because of Sir Andrew. He speaks English really well. Plus he is handsome too. I’d definitely recommend this tour to my friends and family who’ll visit Korea soon. -Pat the Philippines

Highly recommended Suwon tour. - I booked a Suwon Fortress tour through viator. A whole day tour including a temple and Suwon Library. We were 4 all together including our guide SB. He has been so kind throughout the day and I had such a nice authentic Korean lunch. Je bought us back to our meeting point and really took great care of us. At our first stop. Our guide gave us time to try out the archery before walking through the fortress. Thank you so much SB for everything. You've been so helpful and kind. I will keep great memories of Korea forever

Small group flexibility - Nice sites with a flexible tour guide. The library is actually in the center of a nice and vibrant mall. It would have been helpful to know that in advance.
