    Highlights
      What to Expect
      Your morning starts with a pickup between 8am and 8:30am by air-conditioned coach at your Seoul hotel. After the drive out of the capital, head onward to Suwon — a historic town in the Gyeonggi-do province.
      First, visit the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Hwaseong Fortress — a site of huge commercial and military significance during the Joseon era. As your explore, listen as your guide brings the site’s turbulent history to life.
      After lunch, delve into Korean customs and traditions at the Korean Folk Village. Admire the replica Joseon-era houses, see arts and crafts workshops, and enjoy free time at your leisure. During your visit, gain insight into life on the Korean peninsula way before the skyscrapers arrived.
      Sample Korean ginseng at a ginseng center and learn how the plant is used to treat tiredness, loss of appetite, sickness, and many other ailments. Then, return in comfort to your Seoul hotel to conclude your 8-hour tour.

      This could have been good

      I was very excited to join this tour and happy they tour operator could accommodate me as a single traveler and go along with another group. The fortress itself is rather nothing that spectacular if I'm honest. The show at the palace was very good...More
