Must see! - We ended up doing the full day tour due to cancelation of the half day tour. We needed whole full day to experience the village, hakf day tour is not enough. Must see the shows and food options were great!

Pottery and Korean Folk Village Tour - Youn and driver were friendly and courteous. They answered our questions and made our experience enjoyable. This is our second time using Seoul City Tours. We will definitely use them again!

Great experience - Well worth the visit.Make sure you are wearing comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking over uneven terrain. Good place to learn about how the Koreans lived and different strata in society.

Definitely worth a visit, but not sure the 'tour' was worth it. - Went on a guided tour booked through trip advisor. This was a private tour for my wife and I, but not sure it always is. We were picked up at our hotel by a mini-van with 3 seat rows behind driver. The driver tried to put my wife in the back, but explained she had some spinal fractures and really could sit there. That's when he explained that he was only the driver and not the guide and we were to pick up more passengers. We were hoping to get a driver who would be explaining things on the hour+ trip to get there. Upon arrival, we were introduced to our guide who had already taken the previous passengers on a morning tour. Since we were a half-hour late, we had a fixed time to finish in order to meet the previous tourists for the return trip. Our guide who's English was a bit broken was quite knowledgeable of the history and customs and the reconstructed village is certainly worth seeing. Her last 30 mins were quite easy since they were observing a 'traditional' Korean wedding where she didn't have to do much. Wished we had a bit more time.

Great afternoon at the Korean Folk Village - Jason was very punctual picking us up for our tour, really polite, friendly and knowledgeable. Drove us to the Korean Folk Village and showed us around helping us to understand the Korean culture. Great conversation and care. Even on a hot day the tour was very interesting, learning culture and history in their native preserve settings.

The day of my tour was... - The day of my tour was raining all day, so we did it in the rain, too bad, the place itself needs more attraction, my friend and I did not know it was not a real village. For an outside of the city experience it was alright.

Korean Folk Village Tour - We felt a bit rushed going through the Village with our guide, though she was very informative. We were given no free time. We understood at the end why we were given no free time because she took us to a sales pitch on red pine oil. So disappointed that Viator would allow that!

We were picked up on time, however... - <p>We were picked up on time, however two other people were having lunch and therefore we left 40mins late. I think that when booking the tour we should have been told that it was a holiday, the traffic was very bad taking 11/2 hours to get there. Due to this we only had 1 hour visiting the village, not long enough at all. On return we still went to a herbal sales shop, we could have stayed at the village longer. Unfortunate, as the Village was good and our guide nice.Liz</p>
