Suwon Hwaseong Fortress [UNESCO World Heritage]
Hwaseong is a piled-stone and brick fortress of the Joseon Dynasty that surrounds the center of Suwon City near Seoul. It was built in the late 18th century by King Jeongjo for defensive purposes, to form a new political basis, and to house the remains of his father, Crown Prince Jangheon. The massive walls of the fortress, which are 5.74 km in length, enclose an area of 130 ha and follow the topography of the land.
Sebitseom Island
Sebitseom is a cultural complex built to be a landmark on the Han River in the heart of downtown Seoul, a place where you can enjoy special cultural contents at the water’s edge. It is the world’s first floating structure with buildings that can float on water.

“Engaging and informative”
We were in Korea for a few days and toured with Thomas on 2 of those days. He is efficient, organized, and eager to share his local insights. It was nice to have him also take on the duties of photographer and chauffeur. I feel like we received a great introduction to this interesting and ancient culture and I would love to return in the future for a deeper dive.

“Great hospitality on an eye-opening tour”
Thomas met us promptly at our Seoul hotel and we had a full day focused on the DMZ and the War Museum. He is a careful driver and took many excellent pictures for us on his camera (our own paparazzi). He was easy to talk to and enhanced our knowledge of the culture and politics of Korea. His choice of a lunch spot was amazing! Great ambassador for Korea.
