Nice Day Trip to Suwan - We had a great day with Travis. He showed us the fortress, got us to the Starfield mall for a nice lunch (and so that we could check out Starfield Library). Our favorite stop of the day was the Folk Village, where they'll rent out traditional hanbok outfits and have fantastic dancers.

Great Un-rushed Tour - Though the tour started with wet weather, it gradually stopped and ended on a good note. Taeyoung-si was friendly, helpful and we enjoyed the tour which included gaining new knowledge too. Thank you Taeyoung!

Guide hwaseong - I had a really good experience on this tour. The guide was super friendly and made the day enjoyable. Everything was on time and well organized, which made it stress-free. The places we visited—Hwaseong Fortress, the Folk Village, and Starfield Library—were all worth it and gave a nice mix of history and modern culture. Overall, a smooth and fun trip
