Don’t miss this trip!

What can I say, we were very lucky to have Yoon and Joon as our guides. This tour was amazing, the Hwadam forest is absolutely beautiful and a must see place. The traditional folk village was also really lovely to see as it took you through the old Joseon dynasty times and even watch a special musical performance in the village. The fortress was also really lovely to see, so peaceful and so preserved. Thank you so much!!!
