Great for Korean drama lovers!
Reviewed by: Michelle, 2020/02/18Overall this was a great day! After booking they asked for our hotel and set the pickup at the closest subway which was great. They even let my daughter join on through email when she surprised us.
On the day, our tour guide 'Jung' met us outside the station at 7:45 and called the driver around. Only the 3 of us had booked so it was a private tour. The drive was comfortable and smooth.
We arrived at MBC studio at 9:45 and it started to snow. They had umbrellas in the car for us. The guide went and bought our tickets. We also opted for the shuttle bus which was 3000won each. On the tour we stopped by a jail, village and palace. There was a Pavilion at one point with information on the shows that were filmed there. At the end there is an option to dress in Hanbok used by the actors for 20,000won. There were toilets throughout the park. We were able to take our time and there was no rush for photos, which was awesome since we are a fan of Korean drama.
We left the studio around 11:30am and drove to a Korean restaurant for about 45mins. For lunch we had sizzling bibimbap with soup and sides (including kimchi, beans and nuts, beansprouts and squid). They also gave us a little sweet for dessert. Extra portion could be purchased for 10,000won. Drinks were extra too.
Next was the folk village which is only 5 minutes away, so we arrived around 12:15pm. It started snowing again! The village was magical in the snow. Jung gave us lots of information about the Korean culture and the different housing etc. It was very informative and all done with a smile. There is usually a performance but due to the weather it was cancelled. However, the park was not busy at all. Normally the huge carpark is filled.
After the village we headed back to Seoul. It took around 45mins and we got dropped off at Namadeum market. No traffic!
Jung was amazing and the driver was good too. Would recommend for anyone who watches Korean drama and wants to learn about Korean history.
