Great tour to the rail bike, Samaksan cable car was a real gem and going late to Nami Island was a bit rushed but meant we avoided the crowds. Bird garden was a bit small but had a fairly interesting collection. Halal dakgalbi was yummy. Guide helped to buy all tickets and made it a smooth journey
The itinerary is well arranged. You can go to three places in one day. It's good value for money!
The only thing to note is that the attraction requires physical exertion, such as the need to go uphill and downhill.
The tour guide Jordan explained the itinerary and taught us simple answers in Korean, which boosted the atmosphere. In addition, you can sign up for lunch (at your own expense), and if you do not choose to sign up, you can also eat at the restaurant next to it.
Fantastic Tour, great value for money.
We loved the Alpaca World but the Gangchon Rail Bike was really an understated event.
I think my kids enjoyed the Gangchon Rail Bike the most!
Josh was very helpful and friendly, he worked really fast and was very complete in his tour guide work. Very experienced.
My kids loved him on 4 Sep 2026!
We had a very memorable itinerary booking this trip. All of the places we visited are beautiful. You’ll definitely love it if you’re into nature trips.
One thing, however, was that we felt kinda rushed during the 2nd (Nami island) and 3rd (Garden of Morning Calm) because of the traffic. Nevertheless, we also had a good tour guide (Peter) and he was very understanding.
This trip was definitely a highlight to our South Korea tour.
Since our family included elderly members and children, private car service was much more convenient than public transportation, and we could also rest while traveling. Tina, who provided the service, offered many suggestions, making the entire trip much smoother.
