Ride Korea’s longest cable car, meet alpacas, pedal old rail tracks, and explore Nami Island on a full-day trip from Seoul.
“Highly recommended! The tour company provided detailed information about the meeting place, complete with step-by-step pictures.

We were also scammed there , being told it was the only place to buy truffle seaweed as it was made locally...... Then that evening, we saw the same product much cheaper in myeongdong!!! Was very angry about that! The…”
