I booked the private Tour to Andong village so I could learn more about Korean history and cultural background. Even though the drive there from Seoul is long, I never felt bored thanks to Mr. Kim being such an interesting and entertaining person to talk to. Thanks to him I learned even more about South Korea than I would have if I had just seen the village by itself. I greatly enjoyed having a typical Andong style meal, walking through the village, visiting the Confucian academy and the mask museum.
I would greatly recommend this tour to anyone interested in South Korea’s history and culture!

We had an amazing tour with Mr. Benny Kim! He was such a professional and an amazing tour guide. He picked us up early, drove well, and took us to a nice local restaurant in Andong and the best spots in Hahoe village and Byeongsan-Seowon. He also took a lot of great photos of us and answered so many of my questions. It was a really long drive from Seoul but he made it easy and fun. We had a lot of great conversations with him and I feel like I got to know him and Korea better through this tour. I couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you so much for taking us around in Andong!
