The weather was a little warmer so we couldn’t actually ice fish. However, we still had a good time thanks to our wonderful tour guide. Is there any way that I could get his contact information?

A tour worth going as it was a good experience. however, instructions on how to fish were not well taught. If you are planning to try for ice fishing, this is definitely a good deal not to be missed.
KoreaTravelEasy
Good morning Cheryl 🙂 Thank you for your honest opinion. KoreaTravelEasy is glad that we have more rooms to get better. We are trying our best, but we will make sure that customers feel the same. We will definitely talk about this “fishing instruction” part with our partner so that our customers can actually enjoy their ice fishing experience in Hwacheon. Please visit us again Cheryl 😉

It was a really nice trip at a very cheap price! Ice fishing was fun especially when you catch a fish. We also did ice skating and got to see snow fall from the sky. It was a first time for me. Great lunch too. Although one thing I would suggest – I hope the guide will be more interactive to the guests. Because our tour guide did not have much interaction with us, would’ve been more fun if he did. But still a great time. ?

Hello, Nelice! Thank you for the valuable feedback. We appreciate every constructive comment from our customers which helps us to deliver better service.
