Denny was a fantastic guide for my day trip from Seoul to see the Suwon Fortress and Korean Folk Village. He was very personable and knowledgeable about the history of both places. When it came time for lunch he was able to suggest a place for lunch that could accommodate my many dietary restrictions. I would highly recommend Denny for a tour!

Spending the day with Denny was a real highlight of our trip. From the moment we started, he made everything feel easy and comfortable, taking care of all the transportation so we could simply enjoy the experience. Visiting the Korean Folk Village, the traditional market, Suwon Fortress, and the small museum felt special because of how thoughtfully he explained the history and stories behind each place. His knowledge came across naturally, never scripted, and you could feel how much he genuinely enjoys sharing Korean culture. Denny was kind, patient, and attentive, always making sure we were comfortable and having a good time. It felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by a local friend. I would recommend Denny without hesitation to anyone who wants an authentic, memorable experience in Korea.

We really enjoyed the tour to Korean Folk Village and Suwon Fortress. Denny also brought us to a really good fried chicken restaurant for lunch and seafood restaurant for dinner. Thanks again, Denny!

Another wonderful day with Denny as our guide for the Suwon Fortress and the Korean Folk Village. Both places are full of Korean history and Denny brought this history alive thru his knowledge. There was so many beautiful places to see at the Suwon Fortress and Denny made sure we spent time at all. The Korean Folk Village was a great place full of culture and history. We highly recommend this tour with Denny - you will not be disappointed.

It was a v educational and enriching tour that opened our eyes to the rich culture and history of Korea. We learnt alot from Danny during the tour and it truly transported us back to the days long gone, in the Josun era. Thank you, Danny, for a very informative and interesting tour!
