We had a wonderful experience on this tour, which included Nami Island, the Garden of Morning Calm, and the must-visit Gangchon Rail Park. Our guide, Ron, met us at the designated pickup location and was calm, polite, and soft-spoken throughout the trip. We were a group of around 12 people traveling in a comfortable mini-bus. We started the day at the Garden of Morning Calm, which lived up to its name with its peaceful and serene atmosphere. After spending some time there, we headed to Nami Island, with a short lunch break along the way. Our final stop was Gangchon Rail Park, where we enjoyed an amazing rail bike ride. The Gangchon Rail Park experience was the highlight of our trip and one of the best adventures of our entire South Korea visit. We highly recommend including it in your itinerary. A special thanks to Ron for being such a patient, friendly, and professional guide throughout the day. He made the experience even more enjoyable.

The day trip was so fun and refreshing. There were many new things and information that we learned. Sally Park was a very warm guide and explained everything very nicely. Nami island and garden of morning calm should be included in trip to korea.

Kwan was a great tour guide - it was well organized and on time, and Kwan was fun, very friendly and helpful. We had plenty of time at each stop and Kwan was great at helping guests to get good photos and answering questions. For a nice day out from Seoul to beautiful spots this is a great tour.

Enjoy a stroll through Nami Island and lose yourself amidst a sanctuary of majestic, tall trees that witness the changing seasons of Korea with stress-free transfers from Seoul.

Embark on a scenic walk and calm your soul at the Garden of Morning Calm, the oldest private garden in Korea.

Upgrade to visit Petite France, a charming French-style village or let loose at the Pinocchio and Da Vinci-themed attractions in the Italian Village and enjoy fun performances.

Craving more fun? Choose to pedal through scenic tunnels at the beautiful countryside of Gangchon and spend some quality time in nature.

Fun fact: Nami Island was the filming site of the popular Korean television drama, Winter Sonata featuring two star-crossed lovers.
