The train was excellent, the highlight 10/10 but the french/italian village was a waste of time 0/10 nobody liked it, minimal time was left at the end of the day at the garden, no cafes or restaurants open, should have spend more time here. The island was okay, but too much time there.Sharon tour guide was good. Just a really long day, didnt get back till 7.45pm. I would reccomend to spend less time at the island and remove the french/italian village. Warn people there isnt going to be many options to eat before the drive back, just 2 small shops selling fried food. Lunch was at 11.30 to a restaurant they take you to $55 000 won for 2 people which was expensive compared to other options in the area

Tour Guide Reese was very helpful & accommodative. Wonderful trip and well organised. Will recommend this trip to everyone.
Well organised tour led by Martin who has a good command of English. Brief & clear instructions, pointed us to the key hot spots to visits. Tour bus was clean and driver was very safe too. Highly recommended
This was an absolutely wonderful day! Our tour guide Martin was fantastic and all the activities will worth the visit. Thank you!
Our guide, Brandon, was great. He was very detailed and even modified the itinerary to accommodate some of the requests. Most of the itinerary was fun/nice in the 5 and 1. The Rail Park, Nami Island and the Gardens were very enjoyable. The stops at Little Italy and Paris should be dropped and allow more time at other venues. They were basically cheap imitations without a lot of nice scenery or activity. Pro tip: wear comfortable shoes and eat a snack in the morning as it will be 11:00am before a concession stand is available.
Amazing experience, 10/10 best weenies I’ve ever had at the garden of the morning calm ! They had hotdogs and corn dogs
It was a good tour with a lot of things done. Martin our tour guide is very good and friendly. My wife and I enjoyed the trip
