Super fun tour! I decided to change pick up points last minute and the organizers were able to accommodate my request. There was heavy traffic on the way to the attractions but we were still given enough time to enjoy each one. The attractions are all great and going around using the mini van (?) was so convenient. I was really glad that I was able to go to the BTS bus stop without hassle! I also met friends during the tour which is a plus!

These locations are not an easy place to get to on your own. it takes 3 hours to get there, so going by tour is my recommendation. Josh was a great guide that took us there and gave us extra time as needed. he helped round us up. it's quite the long journey for both tourists, guide, and driver. thank you, Josh, for doing it, I know it isn't easy, especially since there are so few of us. I'm glad this tour is available since we probably wouldn't have the ability to go without it. Please keep it for all Goblin and BTS fans. 🙏 Thank you!

The quality is worth the admission fee at all. Haha I was thinking about the tea bar, but I thought I'd try it while I was there, so I bought a ticket for the tea bar, and the tea bar was a success! The milk tea is also really delicious. I don't like sweet things, but this was a hit with my taste buds. I recommend the almond milk tea and peach milk tea.

For Running Man fans, this play area is a must-visit! I went with a friend, and while we struggled with the games at first, the one-hour time limit kept us motivated to push through and beat the challenge. If you plan to go for a second round, be sure to head to the counter—tickets are 50% off for your second attempt. I'm happy to report that we achieved a 100% completion rate in the bingo game and left with all the badges, plus a celebratory Polaroid. It’s also a perfect option for a rainy day!

Gangneung Free Pass is really the best!! I wanted to go to a new museum like the first time, but when I tried to make a reservation on the day, of course there were no seats,, haha I couldn't enjoy it!! If there is a place that requires a reservation, it would be better to make a reservation as soon as possible haha I also had a delicious coffee~~ I had a great trip to Gangneung haha The best!!

I went to Gangneung with my boyfriend to celebrate my birthday. I bought a free pass from Klook and went there, and it was really convenient and great. I think this is the best product for those who want to go on a cafe tour!! ㅎㅎ Those who are hesitating to buy it, definitely buy it and go to Gangneung!!

I made a reservation because my parents were visiting unexpectedly. It was convenient to make a reservation, and my parents liked the facilities, so I am very satisfied. I plan to make a reservation again when my parents visit in the future.
