About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 251courtneym0 contributionsAmazing day trip!Such a great day with guides Song (English) and Vincent (Mandarin)! I highly recommend this Gyeongju day trip. The tour was well organized, with a good amount of time at each stop to learn about the history, explore a bit, and take photos. Song was so kind and knowledgeable about each location. She also had good tips on the best views at each place and helped us all take photos. Note: if you will each lunch with the group (not included, but delicious!) make sure to bring cash to pay, it was about W15,000-20,000 per person depending on what you ordered.Written 6 January 2025
- Q6486QYmihaelam0 contributionsGreat experienceWe had a very pleasant experience visiting the MBC Studios. It was impressive to see the actors and the directors during the rehearsals. One could notice the high professionalism and their striving for perfection. Our tour guide Mr. Joon was very knowledgeable, both in English language and in the K-Drama world, and had a very pleasant, warm and polite attitude. He made us feel welcome.Written 3 January 2025
- stacys1310 contributionsItinerary Changed Without Notification. I wouldn't recommend the company.Good: The tour guide and bus driver were nice. The stops (except one) were lovely. BAD: I didn't get the tour I signed up for. I paid more (there are cheaper tours) for this because it was only 3 stops with almost 4 hours on Nami. BUT we made a useless stop to see a sheet of ice (not impressive; mostly melted as there's no snow now) that was not on the itinerary. Again I specifically picked this tour for less stops. Because of this stop, we got less time at others. And a measly 2.25 on Nami (when you count the time wasted in ferry line). This included eating. So I rushed through it with barely any time to enjoy. The company response: There's tiny print that Dec-Feb we may add that stop. I did eventually locate that under a random tab. Still they should send a message they are adding a stop so people CAN cancel. I will not use this company again and would say be careful.Written 1 January 2025
- Stay370852473200 contributionsGreat places to visit, but would try to find something betterThe tour was fine. I wish there was more of a detailed historical aspect to the places we visited. The tour guides did speak English but it was very basic and found it confusing to follow what they were saying. It felt more like being driven to a place, given a 4-5 sentence summary of something and then told to look around and see things by ourselves.Written 1 January 2025
- 570derrickt0 contributionsA Great Short Trip from SeoulA nice day trip from Seoul. The Nami island and Morning Calm garden were so beautiful. The tour guide Laura was very knowledgeable and funny too! I would recommend it to everyone who comes to South Korea for holidays.Written 29 December 2024

- nicolenee20200 contributionsGreat experience, Beautiful LocationsI cannot recommend this tour highly enough. First of all our tour guides Cecilia and Chuck were incredible. They were super friendly and attentive to everyone and had lots of stories to tell about each of the places we visited. The bus ride to each location was also very comfortable. We visited several locations including Eobi Ice Valley, Petite France, Nami Island and the Gardens of Morning Calm. We felt that we were able to spend sufficient time at each location although we would've liked a bit more time at the Gardens of Morning Calm as we did have to rush through them a bit. Nami Island was very beautiful and I would love to come back and see it again in Spring or Autumn. Petite France was probably my least favourite out of the places we visited, it was nice but it wasn't anything special, at least in comparison to the other places we went to. Overall, it was a pleasant day and I would recommend it to travellers who want to see multiple places in one day. Thanks again Cecilia and Chuck for making this tour so wonderful!Written 27 December 2024

The tour sites themselves were interesting and well explained by the guides. Lunch setup was good except they didn't take foreign credit cards so had to borrow cash from another member of tour. Well organized with sufficient rest breaks. What's app group started for sharing information.Written 11 December 2024

We participated in a tour organized by K Look (just under 12,000 yen). It seemed to be a tour mainly focused on Oedo Island. There were just under 30 people on the tour, but there were two guides, one who spoke English and one who spoke Chinese.
They made reservations at a restaurant where we could eat fresh seafood, and arranged for the bus to be sent back after Windy Hill, so the service was excellent.
There were no explanations in Japanese, so it would be more enjoyable if you could understand English or Chinese. We went in late November, when the flowers were already blooming, so I personally recommend going in spring to early summer.

BLUF: A-. Despite the one-stop, the tour was very nice.
First, thank our guides, Bruce & Jin, for leading a great tour.
The overall cost for two adults was $219 for four sites. The rendezvous site seems to be in a general location, with the main collection point at the Busan Train/Bus station. The bus was small but comfortable.
The first stop was Oedo Garden. About sixty years ago, Oedo was just an isolated, barren, rocky island without electricity or telephone services. Only eight households lived in Oedo due to its difficult access and lack of a dock in the early years of an independent South Korea. However, due to the vision and determination of Mr. Lee and his wife, Choi Ho Suk, they gradually created the entire garden. At first, they grew tangerines and bred swine. However, when that failed, the two decided to create a Romanesque botanical garden. I believe the garden and boat ride out to it were worth the time and money. A
The second stop was Windy Hill. To me, this was more of a time-killer stop. It had a windmill and an okay panorama walkway. Not even worth a grade.
The final stop was the Geoje Cable Care ride. This view at the top was beyond expectations. We want to return during the fall color season, and I think it would be even more spectacular. A

We loved to be able to go to Geoje Island and enjoy the scenery along the coast. The part with the boattrip to Oedo Island was amazing, our guide was great and the restaurant we visited had great local food. Absolutely recomend this for families and anyone who enjoys nature.

Cheongsong 88 Restaurant was delicious, and the mineral water was impressive. Even if I only ordered one menu, the boiled boiled wings, grilled breast, and tteokgalbi were all delicious. I also went to Chuoasan Mountain nearby, but it was cold, so I didn't get to see it in person, but admired the entire King of Zhou statue at the cafe. It was exotic because it was a rare stone mountain in Korea.

The tour was really enjoyable but we didn't actually get to go to Oedo Island due to a Typhoon that closed the ferries for that area, we instead were treated to a hybrid tour where we saw all of Geojie Island and then we got on a ferry to go to Hansando Island where Yi Sun Ji hid the Korean Armada in 1582 (?or something like that - I'm going from memory) and there is a museum and wonderful walk. There were no other tourists, it was fabulous. Rose was also an excellent tour guide who kept us informed.

Oedo is a very beautiful garden that you absolutely have to discover to stroll between species.
The view from the cable car on the islands is breathtaking, too bad that time is running out.
The visit of the mill may be an important place for Koreans and k-drama fans but this stop brings nothing and takes time at the expense of the time spent at the top of the cable car

Kyle and Ester were great. They spoke good English and provided just enough facts during the drive to and from each site visit. They were friendly, professional and kind. My mother (64) and I (36) had a great time. They were on time and punctual. The bus right was very comfortable and big.

It's a pity we didnt get to take ferry due to unfavourable weather conditions. However it was replaced with a day trip to Tongyeong. Before Tongyeong, we stopped by a Maemi Castle which gives a good view of the beautiful pebble beach. Both tour guides Sunny and Jeff were friendly and approachable, they tried their best to make us feel comfortable during the trip.

Very nice, really recommended. The tour guide was also really nice.
Luckily, the weather was very good. For lunch there was unfortunately only seafood to choose from, which I personally don't like so much, but it was still good and only personal preference. It was fun. Thank you again.
