Seoul

Everland was an amazing experience for our family. The park is very clean, beautifully maintained, and well-organized, with sufficient facilities throughout. The rides were very fun, especially the exciting roller coasters, which were a real highlight. Visiting during winter was a great choice as the queue lines were short, allowing us to enjoy more attractions with minimal waiting. The park is also very pretty, with lovely scenery and a pleasant atmosphere. The churros were nice and delicious, definitely worth trying. We truly appreciated the convenient prayer room for Muslims to perform shalat comfortably. On top of that, the staff were very energetic, friendly, and helpful, which made the experience even better. Overall, Everland is a fantastic theme park and highly recommended for visitors of all ages.

1. Despite having a large group and a lot of luggage, the driver was still able to arrange transportation, which was great. 2. They added each other on WeChat the night before, which put me at ease. 3. Communication was timely and efficient, for example, they helped with adding a baby car seat. 4. The whole process was very considerate; they helped guide us and carry our luggage, and turned on the heater as soon as we got in the car, because it was -6 degrees Celsius that day, and a group of us from Kaohsiung were freezing. 5. After arriving at the designated point, we parked the car right in front of the entrance so we didn't have to endure the cold air anymore. 6. They were also able to ask us some travel questions in the car and patiently gave us advice. I am truly grateful.

1/ Everyone was punctual throughout the trip, from the pre-departure meeting to the end of each activity. Excellent performance! 2/ Pick-up was at three locations: 6:30, 7:00, and 7:30. Each activity point was about a 1-1.5 hour drive, allowing ample time to catch up on sleep after the early morning meeting and the previous days' sightseeing. 3/ As we were staying in Seoul, it would have been difficult to complete the entire trip independently using public transportation. I highly recommend arranging a day for this tour during your trip. 4/ I felt the stop times at each tourist spot were appropriate. Gangmi Ice Valley isn't large; it only takes about 3-5 minutes to walk there. It looks spectacular in photos, but in reality, it's rather sparse. PS: After getting off the bus, the tour guide suggested buying basic crampons at the nearby shop, in case it's slippery. I recommended buying them, and indeed, 3-4 people slipped and fell. They'll also be useful on Nami Island! After feeding the alpacas, we strolled around the park. However, apart from feeding the alpacas and visiting the bunny area, the rest of the park felt rather empty. There was only one horse and a camel. None of the park's "activities and performances" were happening. Before heading to Nami Island, we had lunch here, which was an optional extra – a "Chuncheon Chicken Experience." It was likely that we would be seated in groups of four, perhaps with other members of our tour group whom we didn't know well. However, I noticed there were still empty seats, and the restaurant was still arranging for groups of four. Although the tour guide later helped us get to empty tables, I sensed the disappointment of those tourists. Nami Island requires a ferry ride, which takes about 5-10 minutes. The scenery is basically to the right and forward. It's the famous view featured on the cover. You can also buy "giant cotton candy" in the shop there to soften at the campfire area, but it's sold in a large bag. It might be too much for two people, so it's better to share with others. (One shop sells coffee, cotton candy, and microwaveable sweet potatoes; another sells fish cakes.) Because it's colder on Nami Island than on the main island, we wanted to wait for the return ferry even before it departed. 5/ Thank you, tour guide. Thank you, driver. We hope you all have a safe and smooth trip.
