A Homecoming Journey to Wonju

“Trip to our son’s birthplace ”

Our son was born in Korea and expressed a desire to see the city of his birth and so we arranged a two day trip with Thomas. It’s a small city that is not on the common tourist agenda. We saw a great deal and learned even more. Thomas arranged an excellent itinerary that gave us a very good introduction to the city and surrounding countryside. He made a special effort to introduce us to the reality of Korean life there (food, history, markets, etc). The trip was very meaningful to my son, and really, to all of us. Thomas made every effort to tailor the trip to our interests and kept us comfortable regardless of conditions (it was cold!). Thomas took lots of pictures of us in various scenic or interesting locations which we will treasure. We can recommend Thomas without reservation.

Thomas K.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I truly appreciate your kind words, and I’m honored that I could be part of such a meaningful trip for your son and your family. It was a real pleasure guiding you, and I hope the photos will help you cherish these memories for a long time. Wishing you all the best, and I hope to see you again in Korea someday.
