Everland is really awesome and more fun than Leofoo Village, especially the wild animal area! It’s really impressive. You can get very close to the Aibo members here, as if you are right next to them. I love it so much😊

Really liked the tour! Our guide was very good and considerate! He is very informative as some of us might not be familiar with downloading and using the app. He will go up family to family explaining again and again. And or course the main objective was to see the pandas! We got express pass for the panda, which was immediately after everland open! Definitely need to spend more than one day because we didn’t manage to go for rides only went to see the animals

Chinese tour guide: Shanmei is very friendly and professional. She introduces each scenic spot carefully. In addition to personally taking us on a tour of the most beautiful spots for taking pictures, she also explains many stories about Korean historical scenic spots. I think it is very good.
