Step 1

Pick up from your hotel in Seoul at 08:00am and Head to Suwon in Gyeonggi-do province. First visit to Suwon Hwaseong Fortress is an impressive structure from the latter part of the Joseon Dynasty, and the official fortress of Suwon, Gyeonggi-do. Constructed from 1794 to 1796, it was built as a display of King Jeongjo’s filial piety towards his father and to build a new pioneer city with its own economic power.

The fortress wall hosts a great variety of military facilities that are hard to be found anywhere else. During the construction, scholar Jeong Yak-Yong invented ‘Geojunggi,’ which uses a lever to lift up heavy stones, greatly reducing time.

The customizable private tour in Incheon was a fantastic way to spend my day exploring the city and nearby areas. I had the chance to visit the stunning Songdo International Business District, where the modern architecture took my breath away. While my guide was knowledgeable and accommodating, I did wish for a bit more time at some of the sites, as the schedule felt a bit rushed. Overall, the experience allowed me to enjoy a mix of local culture and contemporary sights that made my solo journey truly memorable. Just having the flexibility to tailor the tour to my interests made it worthwhile.

Spending seven hours exploring the vibrant markets and stunning architecture of this energetic area was a highlight of my trip, particularly when I reached the serene temple, which provided a beautiful contrast to the bustling city vibe.
