Jennie was a great tour guide for this group. She was very accommodating for people in our group considering how walking is done on this tour. She also had a lot of fascinating facts about the fortress as well as the village we visited. The market was great to walk around as well as buying a few treats too!

I was last there in 1974. It has greatly expanded and is even more informative as to the lives of Koreans hundreds of years ago.

Cecilia was an excellent tour guide. She was very attentive to everyone’s needs…

The fort was the highlight of the tour for me. I wish we had more time there rather than the market or the village.

If I ever got back to Seoul, I will visit it using the regular subway as now I’m more familiar with the area.

I which it was more time in all the activities but overall was very good. It seems like many hours but is so much to see that is not enough time.

This was a great way to learn more about Korea and it's cultural. We found this tour educational and there was enough time to see everything. We even had time to dress up and have our picture taken. I considered wearing Hanbok but that store was incredibly busy and the "Photo shop" was very fast. Our guide Sherry was incredibly helpful and accommodating.

The weather was rainy and a little colder/windier than expected and some didn't prepare for this. Given the size of the group and the varying differences in personalities, I felt sympathy for our guide(s) trying to accommodate everyone's needs. It held up the rest of us who just wanted to get moving. (Especially problematic at Hwaseong Fortress). That being said, the tour itself is great. The 3 places we visited were all a fascinating glimpse into Korean history and I really enjoyed it. Our guide remained cheerful through the chaos, which I appreciate. I've had really positive experiences with Viator, highly recommend!

Good tour so worth the day seeing the Korean Folk Village and Suwon Fortress. Wouldn’t bother going to these places without this tour. The meeting place is a little hard to find so make sure you have your directions and you won’t have any trouble. A good full day tour.

I really enjoyed the Korean Folk Village. I was able to capture many beautiful pictures and watch the show. I was really amazed by the drums and the performance from the girls.

Guide was helpful but didn't leave much opportunity for people to get their pictures of scenery. I had to rush for them and lacked time on the end.

I would honestly skip the market to get more time at the village, even more so because we eat lunch there. I would have needed to skip lunch to get maybe enough time...

Also, my radio to hear the guide ran out of batteries and didn't replace it after I told her, ao I went half of the tour without hearing her much.
