    Amazing tour but avoid Garden of the Morning Calm in winter
    First of all, our tour guide Josh was excellent and was really helpful and fun. He made the trip very enjoyable. The rail bike was great, and Nami Island was a lot of fun, would defo recommend. I would give 5 stars, however, all of the flowers at Garden of the Morning Calm were quite dead! I would suggest booking a tour with a different third location in the winter months. Thankfully Josh had suggested we spend longer in Nami Island because of this - so we still had an amazing time. Thank you Josh

    Birthday Bash in South Korea
    My sisters and I had a great day trip to Nami Islands, Alpaca farm and the Railbike was fun! Kudos to our tour guide Yamy for being so welcoming and giving us helpful tips of what to expect on our tour. She explained very clearly in details and her English was excellent! She even followed up with instructions and pictures on our group chat in case we forget the timing to meet. Yamy was also very generous and gave us special treats like seaweed of different flavours. Lovely, lively lady. Thank you Yami

    Amazing Tour with Yamy! Great Experience at Gangchon Rail Bike, Nami Island & Morning Calm
    One of the best tours I’ve been on – thanks to Yamy! Did this tour on March 17th, 2025, and it was just perfect. We visited the Gangchon Rail Bike, Nami Island, and the Garden of the Morning Calm – all super beautiful spots in South Korea. What really made the experience stand out was our guide, Yamy. She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and shared so many interesting facts and stories about each place we visited. I’ve been on other tours before where it felt more like just being dropped off by a bus, but this was a real tour – we learned a lot and felt really taken care of. We had plenty of time at each location, nothing felt rushed, and there was even time set aside for lunch (which is always appreciated!). Yamy is super talented at what she does and kept our energy high the whole day, which made the trip even more fun. Honestly, I can’t recommend her enough – best tour guide ever! Peter, March 2025

    Great time, allow time for activities.
    Very cool experience. Tour guide was really good (Jesse). Advice: only fish for 1 hr , 20 minutes (80 minutes) max if you want to do the other activities. Kids loved the activity park. The challenge if you catch a fish is that you need to wait in line for a while to get it cooked. No one there speaks English. Having it Sashimi is quick but getting it cooked takes a while and it isn’t clear when you should colllect the fish. We picked it up too early and it was raw. Maybe get the tour guide to help you at this part. Overall a great experience.

    Excelente! Visita de familia Mexicana en Corea
    I went with my family on this tour (my wife and two girls aged 11 and 15). All 4 of us were very happy. We saw many places that, if we had gone without a guide, we simply would not have seen. It is a very worthwhile tour and you get to know a very bohemian and beautiful part of Seoul. We ended the tour with a beautiful snowfall in the Korean forest. Finally, our guide Charlie Choi is a really excellent guide and person. Highly recommended.

    Nami Island in Snow
    Absolutely spectacularr trip! Our guide, Mr. Park, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and a wonderful host. Even with a record snowfall in Seoul, every detail was thought of. We felt we had more than enough time at each stop, did not feel rushed. Great communication before and during the tour! Punctual and professional. Highly high;y recommended!

    Wonderful day of adventures
    Wonderful day out enjoying some of SK's natural beauty. The bus ride was comfortable and Josh, our wonderful guide, kept us up-to-date with any important and relevant information as we headed to each location. (perhaps less time at Petite France and some more on Nami Island, otherwise a lovely day out)

    Day trip to Samaksan Lake, Nami Island and Railbike
    Nice experience and breathtaking views. However the whole trip was very rush. Not enough time to fully enjoy the trip. Traffic was bad on the way back to Seoul.

    Badly managed and at times chaotic day trip.
    My first ever 'poor' tripadvisor review. In fairness we went on a sunny autumn Saturday to busy destinations along with many Koreans out enjoying the sunshine. This made for very slow bus journeys and very busy destinations. Peter Park our guide did his best but management on the day was poor. Traffic made getting out of Seoul slow to our first destination - The Garden of Morning Calm. A beautiful setting of around 30 small gardens all interlocked. Very well worth visiting - we had about 75 mins there - 2 hours would have been ideal. This was the highlight. Then a slow coach ride to Nami Island where the management was all wrong. The trip said lunch was not provided but Peter organised a lunch for those who wanted it - but the restaurant was on the mainland NOT Nami Island. We therefore wasted an hour in a very crowded mainland area before finally getting the ferry. Peter then told us we had 25 minutes on the Island - we actually spent more time queueing to get on (and back off) the Island than actually on it. You need 2 hours to do the Island justice and had the lunch been arranged for on the Island then that would have made sense. The Island has plenty of cafes/food places so I suspect Peter was on a retainer or free lunch to take visitors to a particular restaurant. He also had a nice line in selling seaweed snacks to us on the coach which I did not appreciate. Nami Island is worth visiting but you need to allow time for the ferry to/from and time to explore. 2 guests were left behind somehow between leaving Nami Island and getting back to the coach - no idea what happened to them! The final activity was the Railbike ride - I would describe this as at best a quirky fairground ride - we actually spent more time doing this than the 2 'highlight' activities. What was a 10 hour all day trip lasted 13 and got us back to a single drop off point a long way from our hotel/pick up place - took us another hour to cross Seoul and missed our evening restaurant appointment to round off the day. To be fair to Peter he could do nothing about the traffic - so advice is do the tour on a weekday to reduce crowds and stick to a trip without the Railbike - Morning Calm and Nami Island are worth visiting given the right conditions.

    Disappointed
    I don’t know why this received 4 stars. Most of our time was in the bus. We stayed at Petite France for 1.5hrs and there wasn’t really much to see. I was not impressed. I wanted coffee but our tour guide said the food and restaurants in that location wasn’t worth it. So I waited. They then took us to a restaurant for lunch of their choice. Food was ok, again not impressed because we were told we had 40min to eat…afterwards we headed to Nami Island and by the time we got there, our tour guide informed us we needed to be at the boat by a certain time. We literally went in and stayed for 30 min and had to stay in line to head back to the boat. We literally felt like we went in and right back out. We only got to see 5% of the island…then it took 3hrs to drive back to our drop off location. It was a joke. Wish we spent our day shopping instead. My family and I were really disappointed.

    A fun outing to cover a lot of ground and see new places!
    Had a great time on this tour. Loved seeing and feeding the deer at the temple (though I wish we had had a little more time there) and the castle was very cool. The market was unusual (the sashimi show actually freaked me out a little, lol) but was a lovely quiet place by the water for lunch. Loved how the car travel allowed me to see other aspects of Japan than just city life.

Our recent trip to Nami Island and Alpaca World was an absolute delight, thanks to our humorous and engaging tour guide, Alvin. Despite the rainy weather, the tour was worthwhile and memorable.

Alvin’s witty commentary and cheerful personality kept our spirits high throughout the day. He shared fascinating stories and interesting facts about each destination, making the tour both entertaining and educational.

Nami Island was breathtaking, even in the rain, with its picturesque landscapes and serene ambiance. Alpaca World was equally enjoyable, as we got to interact with the adorable alpacas up close.

Overall, the trip was a fantastic experience, made even better by Alvin's excellent guidance. Highly recommended!

Guide Andrew was a very professional one. He is very attentive to details to the needs of his group from meals to activities. He gave my daughter a heat pad and helped my mom with purchase of new pair of shoes as her soles came off.

Such a great experience bundle! Had a blast at Alpaca World with all the different animals you can interact with! Beautiful views on Nami Island, I would definitely recommend renting out a bike while there. Also, gorgeous flowers at Garden of Morning Calm. Overall, it has been a 10/10 experience and our tour guide Joe Park was very helpful and had such a great and happy attitude! Would definitely recommend checking out this tour if you have the time! :)

Second time visitor to Korea - Tour guide was lovely and very friendly but whole trip felt very rushed and disorganised on pickup locations, especially at Nami island and not much information given on sights viewed. Would NOT recommend the food in restaurant suggested by tour, even for a tourist location it was overpriced (approx 20AUD) for poor quality chicken (15000 WAN) in portion (rice as 4000WAN) add on and owner refused to accept card when we we there despite a functioning card machine. Overall couldn’t recommend it compared to other similar tours I’ve done in Korea.

The tour guide (His name was DinkG) came late, the vehicle was small for 9 adults, and he doesn't speak English or Mandarin. We were not allowed to open his car doors and adjust the seats. Need to his briefing first before allowing us to go toilet. 🤬😰

Very full tour with excellent destinations. Possibly too many in the timeframe as guide was always seeming to rush to get to next place. Also drop off points at end of a busy day left many passengers a considerable distance from their accommodation- costs of travel back to hotels!

The activity itself was great! Enjoy all the attraction points. Must go if u like animal and nice scenery.

Couldnt find the bus at first as it was park to the side in a small road. But guide added us to a whatsapp group which is convenient to keep in touch. Also the bus broke down (due to very cold weather) at the beginning and the whole bus smelled of oil and smokes. Alternate bus took 30mins to arrive but all was good. Manage to follow the itinerary to the dot.
Lunch at Nami Island (optional upon arrival via guide reccomendation) was not fresh at all.
Morning calm should go after sundown to catch the lights. But web we were there alot of spots were cordoned off under renovationl)

All in all, the guide was helpful, nice, fluent in english n chinese and quick to address our problem. Bonus is : free water and yummy cheese cake for breakfast!

Great experience for us! We did the alpaca world-Nami Island-Garden of Morning Calm day tour. Tip: bring comfortable shoes & hat since you’ll be doing a good amount of walking. The bus picked us up on time. Our tour guide Mina was very efficient with time, & gave good tips/information on Korea. Mina’s English was also excellent. We got back exactly at 7:30pm as estimated.

This is a longggg day. There is a LOT of driving. I think there is too much fit together into this tour. Alpaca world was interesting but I don’t know if it’s worth going so far out of the way unless you are just really excited about the animals they have (have more than just alpacas). Nami island was pretty but we didn’t have much time on the island. The main attraction is to pretty much take photos. It’s nice for fall colors but super busy. Again, not sure it’s worth the driving. The gardens were pretty and for photos but again it was far away. Overall glad I at least saw these things but I don’t know if I’d recommend this tour unless you have nothing else to do. It’s basically a 12 hour day with half of the day sitting in the tour bus.

Also, it’s not really as much of an informative tour. Our guide was nice but I don’t think I learned anything or heard anything informative on this tour. It’s basically a photo op tour.

Very enjoyable day trip. Garden of Morning Calm is so beautiful; autumn colours in the mountain; flowers, etc. Walking in a very calm n relaxed.
Nami is a beautiful island.
The most highlight is the alpaca farm. These alpacas are so cute. Taken them for a walk, feeding them as well.
The guide, Alex is friendly.
