If you have a list of places to go in Korea, Suwon can be at the back of your list. I don't think it is a must go place. The guide is super nice and friendly. Lovely lady!

Bad weather

Published on Nov, 2024

The guide was very nice, very helpful and very quick to share knowledge, take photos etc. Unfortunately the weather was against us on the day which meant we could not do a lot of the planned tour and significantly impacted expectations. While I certainly appreciate the efforts that were made and the guide was very nice, it is an expensive tour that should have just been cancelled and refunded by the tour operator if weather conditions were going to be that much an impact. Tourists would not be aware the level of such impact and would be reliant on the operator to make the correct decision or at least offer a discount if major parts are missed.
