The Garden of Morning Calm was absolutely beautiful and well worth a visit. We then continued to Nami Island, where we chose to take the optional zipline across to the island. It was a fantastic experience and something I'd definitely recommend. One suggestion would be to skip the optional group lunch before moving to Name Island. We joined the rest of the tour, but afterwards discovered there were plenty of other restaurants and cafés that looked much more appealing. If we did the trip again, we'd spend that time exploring our lunch options prior to taking zip line. The rail bike was another highlight of the day and was so much fun. There are a few gentle hills, so a basic level of fitness is helpful, but there are also downhill sections that make the ride enjoyable and easy overall. Overall, this was a fantastic day trip and excellent value for money. The communication from the tour operator was outstanding from start to finish, and everything was very well organised. I would happily recommend this tour.
The trip was perfect. David is a beautiful guide. Everything was very cool and fun. Nami Island was so interesting, I wish I could return there once more
It was a very beautiful experience, the rain made the walk through the Garden of Morning Calm even more beautiful, the service that Patrick provided us was excellent and he was always attentive. We were lucky that it stopped raining at the time of going to the rail bike and we were able to do the tour, the leg pain was worth it.
Great trip! We loved the rail bikes, Nami Island, and the Morning Calm garden, especially thanks to ONE; he was a fantastic tour guide that took the time to patiently teach us about each location.
Had an amazing time with my guide, One, om this tour. He was really friendly and kept the mood light and positive! There were no extra admission fees, you only pay for food and souvenirs which I found at the restaurant and in Nami Island! I also bought the Zip line ticket into Nami Island which One had explained that I would be refunded the ferry boat ticket since I spent it on the zip line which I was fine with! The group size was perfect, not too small and not too big with friendly people. One made this experience great and his enthusiasm for these landmarks make it worthwhile!
