About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 575craige0 contributionsGreat time, allow time for activities.Very cool experience. Tour guide was really good (Jesse). Advice: only fish for 1 hr , 20 minutes (80 minutes) max if you want to do the other activities. Kids loved the activity park. The challenge if you catch a fish is that you need to wait in line for a while to get it cooked. No one there speaks English. Having it Sashimi is quick but getting it cooked takes a while and it isn’t clear when you should colllect the fish. We picked it up too early and it was raw. Maybe get the tour guide to help you at this part. Overall a great experience.Written 14 January 2025
- tanyF2528KQ0 contributionsAmazing ExperienceJessie was amazing!! Very thoughtful, friendly and kind!! 😊 Enough time to do everything I wanted and also not too long. very good day!Written 7 January 2025
- K3614EGmariom0 contributionsExcelente! Visita de familia Mexicana en CoreaI went with my family on this tour (my wife and two girls aged 11 and 15). All 4 of us were very happy. We saw many places that, if we had gone without a guide, we simply would not have seen. It is a very worthwhile tour and you get to know a very bohemian and beautiful part of Seoul. We ended the tour with a beautiful snowfall in the Korean forest. Finally, our guide Charlie Choi is a really excellent guide and person. Highly recommended.Written 7 January 2025

- lindalO9586KI0 contributionsDay trip to Alphca world, strawberry plucking, Nami islandGuide Andrew was a very professional one. He is very attentive to details to the needs of his group from meals to activities. He gave my daughter a heat pad and helped my mom with purchase of new pair of shoes as her soles came off. Itinerary is well plannedWritten 23 December 2024
- 404tonyap0 contributionsHighly recommendOur guide was amazing. Fun day! We even forgot a wallet at the Hot Springs and she went out of her way to find it two days later and ship it back to us in the US.Written 15 December 2024
- F8470AFnathanb0 contributionsWonderful day of adventuresWonderful day out enjoying some of SK's natural beauty. The bus ride was comfortable and Josh, our wonderful guide, kept us up-to-date with any important and relevant information as we headed to each location. (perhaps less time at Petite France and some more on Nami Island, otherwise a lovely day out)Written 21 November 2024
- Getaway610689586020 contributionsDay trip to Samaksan Lake, Nami Island and RailbikeNice experience and breathtaking views. However the whole trip was very rush. Not enough time to fully enjoy the trip. Traffic was bad on the way back to Seoul.Written 9 November 2024
- 399elmad0 contributionsDisappointedI don’t know why this received 4 stars. Most of our time was in the bus. We stayed at Petite France for 1.5hrs and there wasn’t really much to see. I was not impressed. I wanted coffee but our tour guide said the food and restaurants in that location wasn’t worth it. So I waited. They then took us to a restaurant for lunch of their choice. Food was ok, again not impressed because we were told we had 40min to eat…afterwards we headed to Nami Island and by the time we got there, our tour guide informed us we needed to be at the boat by a certain time. We literally went in and stayed for 30 min and had to stay in line to head back to the boat. We literally felt like we went in and right back out. We only got to see 5% of the island…then it took 3hrs to drive back to our drop off location. It was a joke. Wish we spent our day shopping instead. My family and I were really disappointed.Written 4 November 2024
- BethinVT0 contributionsA fun outing to cover a lot of ground and see new places!Had a great time on this tour. Loved seeing and feeding the deer at the temple (though I wish we had had a little more time there) and the castle was very cool. The market was unusual (the sashimi show actually freaked me out a little, lol) but was a lovely quiet place by the water for lunch. Loved how the car travel allowed me to see other aspects of Japan than just city life.Written 24 October 2024
- 834lyudmilap0 contributionsDo not recommendThe tour felt like a rushed school trip. The guide provided basic information only and most of her comments focused on repetitive reminders about when/where is the assembly point. At every location we were rushed to leave, sometimes even earlier than planned. Nami Island and other destinations are amazing and definitely worth visiting but not with this company.Written 20 October 2024
- T9776ZBrosep0 contributionsOverpriced and not guided, do not recommend itVery disappointed with this tour especially with our tour guide Noel. This was supposed to be a guided tour. Noel did not provide any of the information or insights that we anticipated. Instead, he solely acted as a driver. We received no explanations or background about the sights we visited. All the information we did get came from the brochures. We contacted the agency regarding this and they were completely disregarding and ignoring the issue and saying that “The tour guide asked for more free time because of other guests. Take as much free travel time as possible.” Given the lack of insight or commentary from the guide, the tour was severely overpriced. I wouldn't recommend this company if you're looking for a truly informative and engaging experience. The tour description clearly stated (and the agency confirmed) that this was a guided tour. We asked for the refund but they wouldn’t give it to us. We Extremely disappointed and DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!Written 22 August 2024
- deborahcD9473WG0 contributionsOverall enjoyable dayOur tour guide Joe Park and the bus driver were great … super helpful and nice! Thanks a lot, we had a great time and would do it again!!Written 5 August 2024
- N4143KDangelac0 contributionsAlpacas Alpacas AlpacasIt was such a fun trip! Even though the weather was not on our side, it was still extremely fun. I loved seeing the other animals like the capyabaras and fennec foxes. I highly recommend the railbike -- definitely one of the best views I've seen in Korea. Our guide Josh was funny and amazing too!Written 2 August 2024
- 761mericad0 contributionsWonderful experienceWe had awesome experience! The places we’ve been to were one of a kind. You don’t need to go to Machu Picchu just to see those Alpacas. The Alpacas are harmless btw. It was tiring going to different places so be physically ready. Alvin was our tour guide. He’s accommodating, considerate and very helpful. He goes extra! He prepared everything and inform you what to expect. He even calculated the weather just to make sure all will go well. Kudos! all worth it!Written 30 July 2024

All three sites were beautiful!!! That’s where all the star ratings go to!
The logistics in meeting and paying extra for the unoccupied seat for the railway park were less than desired. Our tour fees cover the railway park ride if you had 2 or 4 riders. However, if you had 3 in your party, you had to pay an additional $10 US for the empty seat. It was not spelled out in the tour, nor should we pay for the empty seat. Left a sour taste in our mouths.

4 of us have a very pleasant 1 day trip to nami + garden of morning calm & gongchan Rail bike tour. Our tour guide Alvin is very energetic and helpful. He brings the road to those attraction more valuable. We thought it will be a boring day trip in bus, but Alvin is really professional, very cheerful young man with nice personality. His lullaby during the trip worth 10 stars. He speak english and chinese well (luckily we understood both of the language). Totally no language barrier. Thanks SA tour + Alvin for the smooth and memorable trip. :D

Our group of 10 had a fantastic time on the tour of Nami Island, the rail bike, and the Garden of Morning Calm, led by our guide, Daniel. The landscapes were breathtaking, and Nami Island felt like something out of a fairytale. The rail bike adventure was a fun and unique way to explore the countryside, and the Garden of Morning Calm was peaceful and beautiful with its floral displays. Daniel's knowledge and guidance added to the overall enjoyment of the tour. Highly recommended for those looking to experience nature, adventure, and tranquility all in one trip!

We just did this tour with guide Jesse. He was so nice and helpful answering all our questions. He regaled us with stories and history, and kept us on time so everything was covered. We did the rail bike in the morning followed by a delicious lunch. Then it rained and rained going to Nami Island and Garden of Morning Calm. A shame as the garden is beautiful but we were too cold and wet to appreciate it.
We recommened this tour, especially with Jesse. It would have been a great day out if not for the weather.

Wow this day tour was awesome! Our tour guide Yummy was excellent and very clear on all directions to ensure we got on the bus in time to make it to all the spots. Really enjoyed all aspects, especially the rail park with different themed tunnels. Would definitely recommend for visitors to Seoul!

This tour was a day filled with fun activities from riding the rail bikes through tunnels and by the river (it is a bit of an exercise) to walking the tree-lined paths of Nami island and finally enjoying the scenery of the Garden of Morning Calm. It was a fun tour made even more enjoyable by Charles. He was friendly, accommodating, and funny!

Great full day trip with amazing guide Yamy and the driver who got us home safely. Felt a bit short on time at Nami island and in the garden, but even with an 8am start we were losing daylight by the end of the activities, so would have been tricky to make it any longer. All in all time and money well spent, can recommend.

The place is very nice. The time spent in Nami seemed very short, but considering the 3 stops the tour included is understandable. We had a very nice time. Careful in the summer time it is very hot. It would be nicer in winter.
