Our famiy of 3 had Vincent for the driver + guide for the day. Despite the 2 hour drive (each way) between Seoul and the ice festival. The ride was very comfortable - the mini van was new, clean and spacious.
Hwacheon is in the regional area of Korea and therefore there were not as many people speaking English as in Seoul. Vincent made it all very easy for us in arranging the fishing experience and showing us around the festival. He was also of great assistance in arranging the fish to be cooked at the restaurant during lunch.
The Ice Festival was a unique experience for us (from Australia) where such things don't really exist - fishing from a hole in ice, skating on a river etc. So it was a fun and comfortable day for myself, my wife and our 6 year old.
