Things to do in Suwon Hwaseong Fortress

really friendly guide and really interesting tour of suwon!

If you’re in seoul I highly recommend you do this tour. It was a small and very private tour up to 6/7 people. Lucikly when i went with my girlfriend, it was only the two of us. My tour guide LILY WAS SO AWESOME! super knowledgeable and really knows her history with all the places we went. Lily if you’re reading this, thank you for an incredibly knowledgeable tour guide!

Very interesting tour, our guide Stella, her colleague from the chinese group and the bus captain are very nice. We get to learn about the ancient korea, very clear explanation. Wish I could have more time at Folk Village cause it's really interesting, probably dropby another time. Watch the performance if you like cultural performance. Suwon Fortress also interesting, some up slope down slope walking involved, if elderly joining, need to prep them, otherwise can let them wait at the nearby cafe. Last part of the day, we ended at Suwon Market, nothing much special but can get some street food, timing abit short, would rather trade that with more time at Folk Village. :)

I had the best time. Our guide Ruby made the difference, her insights and knowledge of the history were superb plus she's very funny and friendly. If you want to get out of Seoul, just 1 hour away, and enjoy the magnificent views and the quiet of Suwon this tour is a MUST. From practicing archery to walking for the cutest street full of IG's coffee shops., If you love Kdramas this is your place to find film locations (including Lovely Runner's Sol's House, Twenty-five, Twenty-one, and more) all of Ruby's suggestions were a plus. The Stanfield Library is unbelievable and different from the one located at Coex. Waujeongsa Temple is magical, relaxing, and with beautiful views Highly recommend it. Thanks, Ruby!!!

My mum and I went on this tour with tour guide Juno. He was fantastic in explaining a lot of history and stories throughout our tour and answered our many questions. My mum and I weren’t too familiar with a lot of the history and so we came away having learnt a lot which added so much to our experience. We were given ample time at each attraction to explore and take many photos. Thank you so much Juno and our driver.

We went with group of 9 and really enjoyed our trip! Weather was quite good and it was nice to see places where various TV drama and MVs were recorded :)

I had a great time thanks to our guide 신윤주 who gave a lot of useful information on this trip and help me take some great photos though I travel alone. This trip is worthwhile since I can visit many sites in a day. Free time was given so besides Suwon Fortress, Starfield Library and Waujeongsa, I was able to visit Suwon Palace, Paldal Gate, Local Market and Local Temple around there too.

Ruby was a great guide. She contacted us beforehand to make sure of our pickup location. As it happened to be a Korean public holiday, it was crowded and traffic was heavy but she still managed to get us to the locations on time and there was ample time to sight see.
