Nami Island + Gangchon Railway Biking + Samaksan Cable Car is truly the perfect option for adding a day trip to the suburbs during a Seoul self-guided tour. Even though the weather was quite cold on Lunar New Year's Eve in February, as long as you dress warmly, it's not a problem; in fact, it has a unique winter beauty. Our tour guide, Ms. Park Hye-in, provided excellent service. Seeing that we had children, she even gave us some Korean-made hand warmers that she uses for her kids—they were so useful! We were so happy!
The driver was very nice and good at planning the itinerary. He took us around Nami Island, including fresh strawberry picking, the Morning Calm Arboretum illuminated at night – it was a magical and wonderful experience. The Chuncheon Chicken was really delicious!
