“This is such an great way to see three amazing places in one day. We had about an hour and 15 minutes in alpaca world and about 1.5 hours at Nami Island. Alpaca World felt rushed, but when visiting 3 places which are so far from each other and from Seoul, there is only so much time in a day. Our guide, Alex, was the best. He set up everything from start to finish perfectly and kept our massive group on track, answering all of our questions and even giving us all souvenirs. He recommended renting a bike at Nami Island to see the whole island in the limited time…”

We had such a great weather, a bit cold and sunny with no wind for us to enjoy the tour. The ice wall is small but with quick access and beautiful to see.

“This was far from a “guided tour” more just like a transportation to and from places. Our tour guide (who was also the driver) picked us up in a van, not a bus. We were so crowded there were people seated in the front seat. Ruby was a nice girl, but I would qualify her more as a smiley driver. She gave us 5 min introductions before dropping us completely on our own on places. She drove erratically and on the way back, we were dropped in the middle of the street because she wanted to avoid a 5 min turn. We were exposed to exit the crowded van at…”
