Our recent family trip to Korea was incredibly meaningful. While we’ve been to Korea many times before, this was the first time we felt so immersed in traditional Korean culture.
In Jeonju, a historic city in Korea, our family dressed in beautiful hanbok, traditional Korean attire, and strolled through the Hanok Village, feeling like we’d stepped back in time to the Joseon Dynasty. We took countless beautiful photos.
In the evening, we had a dreamlike experience staying in Soyang Gojeok, a centuries-old hanok with modern conveniences. The house was exquisitely decorated and had a unique charm. If you opt for traditional mats instead of a bed, you can enjoy the warmth of ondol, Korea’s unique underfloor heating system. The beddings, each with different traditional embroidery, were incredibly comfortable and added a special crisp touch.
The food provided for the tour was also very authentic and beautifully presented. The last meal, a hansik course, included salads, cooked vegetables, various kimchi, bulgogi, and traditional drinks. It was more than just delicious; it was a feast for the eyes. Even my teenage daughters loved it, making it a perfect end to a wonderful family trip.
The tour was conducted entirely in English, and you can request more in-depth historical explanations if you’re interested. I highly recommend this tour for families or couples. Having enjoyed this beautiful autumn, I’m already looking forward to visiting again during Korea’s famous cherry blossom season.

If its your first time in jeonju i think its the perfect tour to enjoy. Also for bts fans “army” we visited a lot of places were bts summer package filming took place. We had the hanbok for two days rental which gave us quiet a lot of time to enjoy walking around with it. Since its winter time you have a special way of winter outerwear with the hanbok that gives a special feel. The stay Soyang gotaek was one of the most impressive hanok stays I’ve stayed at. Almost a luxurious hanok stay with amazing view and amenities. In terms of food the famous jeonju bibimbap was quiet good. There were a lot of traditional korean cuisine for breakfast which had great significance and gives you a blend of the traditional and modern view that jeonju has to offer. We also had the royal korean lunch course this was way beyond expectation. I tasted dishes I havent ever heard of before. For activities we had an session were we learned to played the gageum and I think it was one of the most memorable experiences for me since the teacher was so patient with us all and learning an korean traditional instrument was quiet fun too. Overall I would recommend this trip. Staff were kind and the itinerary was quiet accommodating and the travel vehicle was quiet spacious too. Also during your free time at the hanok village i would recommend looking at the famous spots around the area.

This has been an incredible and lovely experience! This tour is a perfect blend of everything I love about Korea, its culture and tradition, food!!!!, nature, and even a taste of K-pop and K-drama. The staff were incredibly kind and everything was very well-organized. I really feel that I made the most of my time and immersed myself in Korean culture and tradition.
The exceptional quality of the accommodation and the meals impressed me! Soyang Gotaek was absolutely amazing, it truly preserves that traditional atmosphere with stunning views and landscapes. The Hanok stay along with the traditional royal cuisine really felt like high quality-premium experiences.
I highly recommend this tour with KTE for anyone looking for a truly complete and memorable Korean experience!!!💜

Absolutely worth the price tag. I’ve been to Jeonju a handful of times before but always left feeling wanting more. KTE made sure to hit up all the stops and I returned to Seoul feeling as if I had finally experienced Jeonju, beyond the Hanok Village and all.
First, having a hanbok rental for 24 hours insures that you get all the snaps. The Hanok you stay at and the one right next door that you visit are architectural gems. The luxury Hanok stay is almost impossible for foreigners to reserve so having a seamless stay really felt like a treat. The meals served here are excellent and the views and grounds are truly stunning. You also can’t get here without a car so having the private van transportation was the cherry on top.
The Hanok Village tour was actually incredible. We were able to visit museums as see Hanji, Korean traditional paper, being made. The royal cuisine meal was also the best I’ve had and only possible with KTE’s curation.
This trip is truly worth the price tag and I would recommend it for anyone wanting to really experience the gems of Jeonju in a two day window!

It allowed me to have a traditional Korean experience that I really wanted and without this tour I would’ve have been able to get it or wouldn’t know how!
I’m so happy I could find this and go! Also as a BTS army I was the happiest to visit the places they took photos in and ate together 🥹💜 the food was so good and felt like I was getting princess treatment the whole tour!

This experience was one of a kind, the activities and the people with us made it truly unforgettable. We got to taste delicious food, see beautiful places, and even learned how to play a traditional Korean instrument with a very talented instructor.

I had an amazing time on this tour! It gave me a real taste of Korean culture, from staying in a traditional hanok to trying a royal cuisine dinner. The tour was well-planned—we did a lot but never felt rushed—and the team was always friendly and ready to help.
The activities really stood out, like learning to play Korean instruments, dressing up in hanbok for some awesome photos, and enjoying fine dining meals made just for our group. All that in such an off-the-beaten-path spot in Korea that not many tourists visit!
For BTS fans, the tour also hits some famous filming locations, which is a nice bonus! But even though I’m not a BTS fan, I still loved every minute of it.
If you’re after a high-end, culturally rich adventure in Korea, this tour is totally worth it. You can experience a different, historical side of Korea, far from the trendy cafes and urban jungle of Seoul and Busan.

🌺🌸🌿Breathtaking tour with @koreatraveleasy this week! The Soyang Gotaek Hanok Stay experience package was incredibly special and a truly unique experience. I’ve had the opportunity to stay in a Hanok before but this location and the luxurious feel was absolutely transformative and felt like I stepped back in time. I am so surprised at the beauty and tranquilly of Jeonju and Wanju, which is also known as the Switzerland and of Korea. I’d love to take my family again in the fall!
BTS fans, they also stayed here for a week and lots of the album photos were taken in this complex.
I did this tour in the summer, and I wish I could do it again in all other three seasons, haha. The beauty of the place (Soyang Gotaek) leaves us speechless. There is a harmony between the traditional Korean architecture and the surrounding mountains that I can’t explain, only admire. I believe that the experience of sleeping in a hanok makes the trip to Korea more memorable, not to mention that the photos dressed in hanbok are even more beautiful!! I will always remember this weekend. I love history and being able to travel to Jeonju Hanok Village gave me the feeling that I was traveling back in time to ancient Korea (Joseon Era) and I was a lady of high royalty, haha. The historical value of the trip is undeniable. Combined with the elegance and premium services, the traditional Korean food, everything was very pleasant, a complete experience! The staff was also super attentive and fun!! Thank you for this experience. 🙂 I will come back!!

The experience was great in general. I enjoyed the food a lot and the experience of wearing a hanbok a walking around with it in one of the most traditional cities of the country was just like a scene taken out off a K-drama. All the places we visited were pretty and had great escenarios. The tour guides were also really friendly and helpful. The stay in the Hanok was also great. The facilities were very clean and nice. I only would suggest changing the pillows, because they were a bit uncomfortable. Besides from that I dont have any complain. I enjoy my stay and my experience overall. I recommend this tour if you are someone who is willing to try new experiences and is ready to dive into the traditional Korean culture. I recommend asking about the history behind each dish and place. That way you can enjoy your experience to the fullest!

Usually I don’t write such a long reviews, but this tour was too amazing to sum up in a short one. Awon Old Hanok Museum became one of my favorite spots in Korea and is an absolute must-visit. I love how they blend art with Korean culture and history, creating a unique and charming atmosphere. It’s a perfect place to relax with a cup of coffee while enjoying the beautiful view. And one of the highlights of this tour was definitely our stay at Soyang Gotaek, in a traditional Hanok. I had a wonderful time with my friends and was very impressed by the high level of service. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of and the dinner experience was unforgettable it felt like a scene from a beautiful movie. And, of course, the food was absolutely delicious. A special thanks to the wonderful staff and our bus driver, who played a big part in making our trip to Jeonju and Wanju so memorable. Their kindness and attention to detail ensured that we had an unforgettable experience. Definitely recommend this trip if you want to get one step closer to Korean culture, history and cousin.

In the evening, we had a dreamlike experience staying in Soyang Gojeok, a centuries-old hanok with modern conveniences. The house was exquisitely decorated and had a unique charm. If you opt for traditional mats instead of a bed, you can enjoy the warmth of ondol, Korea’s unique underfloor heating system. The beddings, each with different traditional embroidery, were incredibly comfortable and added a special crisp touch.
The food provided for the tour was also very authentic and beautifully presented. The last meal, a hansik course, included salads, cooked vegetables, various kimchi, bulgogi, and traditional drinks. It was more than just delicious; it was a feast for the eyes. Even my teenage daughters loved it, making it a perfect end to a wonderful family trip.
The tour was conducted entirely in English, and you can request more in-depth historical explanations if you’re interested. I highly recommend this tour for families or couples. Having enjoyed this beautiful autumn, I’m already looking forward to visiting again during Korea’s famous cherry blossom season.

If its your first time in jeonju i think its the perfect tour to enjoy. Also for bts fans “army” we visited a lot of places were bts summer package filming took place. We had the hanbok for two days rental which gave us quiet a lot of time to enjoy walking around with it. Since its winter time you have a special way of winter outerwear with the hanbok that gives a special feel. The stay Soyang gotaek was one of the most impressive hanok stays I’ve stayed at. Almost a luxurious hanok stay with amazing view and amenities. In terms of food the famous jeonju bibimbap was quiet good. There were a lot of traditional korean cuisine for breakfast which had great significance and gives you a blend of the traditional and modern view that jeonju has to offer. We also had the royal korean lunch course this was way beyond expectation. I tasted dishes I havent ever heard of before. For activities we had an session were we learned to played the gageum and I think it was one of the most memorable experiences for me since the teacher was so patient with us all and learning an korean traditional instrument was quiet fun too. Overall I would recommend this trip. Staff were kind and the itinerary was quiet accommodating and the travel vehicle was quiet spacious too. Also during your free time at the hanok village i would recommend looking at the famous spots around the area.

This has been an incredible and lovely experience! This tour is a perfect blend of everything I love about Korea, its culture and tradition, food!!!!, nature, and even a taste of K-pop and K-drama. The staff were incredibly kind and everything was very well-organized. I really feel that I made the most of my time and immersed myself in Korean culture and tradition.
The exceptional quality of the accommodation and the meals impressed me! Soyang Gotaek was absolutely amazing, it truly preserves that traditional atmosphere with stunning views and landscapes. The Hanok stay along with the traditional royal cuisine really felt like high quality-premium experiences.
I highly recommend this tour with KTE for anyone looking for a truly complete and memorable Korean experience!!!💜

Absolutely worth the price tag. I’ve been to Jeonju a handful of times before but always left feeling wanting more. KTE made sure to hit up all the stops and I returned to Seoul feeling as if I had finally experienced Jeonju, beyond the Hanok Village and all.
First, having a hanbok rental for 24 hours insures that you get all the snaps. The Hanok you stay at and the one right next door that you visit are architectural gems. The luxury Hanok stay is almost impossible for foreigners to reserve so having a seamless stay really felt like a treat. The meals served here are excellent and the views and grounds are truly stunning. You also can’t get here without a car so having the private van transportation was the cherry on top.
The Hanok Village tour was actually incredible. We were able to visit museums as see Hanji, Korean traditional paper, being made. The royal cuisine meal was also the best I’ve had and only possible with KTE’s curation.
This trip is truly worth the price tag and I would recommend it for anyone wanting to really experience the gems of Jeonju in a two day window!

This was such an unexpected fun experience. At first I didn’t known if I’d like this kind of Hanok tour; however, every experience and location that the Korea Travel Easy team prepared was very fun. I especially loved Soyang Gotaek. The premium stay is breathtaking and it offers beautiful scenarios and positive energy. The food was spectacular! You are in for treat with every meal that gives you a real taste of Korea! I would definitely recommend going on this tour at least once on your lifetime!

Had one of the most lovely experience with this tour!
From start to finish the pick up, the staff, the tour, the food, the hanbok and Hanok stay experience was beautiful!
It allowed me to have a traditional Korean experience that I really wanted and without this tour I would’ve have been able to get it or wouldn’t know how!
I’m so happy I could find this and go! Also as a BTS army I was the happiest to visit the places they took photos in and ate together 🥹💜 the food was so good and felt like I was getting princess treatment the whole tour!
I really loved it and I’m sure if you book this tour you won’t regret it ❤️

This experience was one of a kind, the activities and the people with us made it truly unforgettable. We got to taste delicious food, see beautiful places, and even learned how to play a traditional Korean instrument with a very talented instructor. The Hanok where we stayed for the night was absolutely stunning and although we slept on the floor that made the experience even more authentic. I enjoyed every second of this tour and can only highly recommend it to everyone!

I had an amazing time on this tour! It gave me a real taste of Korean culture, from staying in a traditional hanok to trying a royal cuisine dinner. The tour was well-planned—we did a lot but never felt rushed—and the team was always friendly and ready to help.
The activities really stood out, like learning to play Korean instruments, dressing up in hanbok for some awesome photos, and enjoying fine dining meals made just for our group. All that in such an off-the-beaten-path spot in Korea that not many tourists visit!
For BTS fans, the tour also hits some famous filming locations, which is a nice bonus! But even though I’m not a BTS fan, I still loved every minute of it.
If you’re after a high-end, culturally rich adventure in Korea, this tour is totally worth it. You can experience a different, historical side of Korea, far from the trendy cafes and urban jungle of Seoul and Busan.

🌺🌸🌿Breathtaking tour with @koreatraveleasy this week! The Soyang Gotaek Hanok Stay experience package was incredibly special and a truly unique experience. I’ve had the opportunity to stay in a Hanok before but this location and the luxurious feel was absolutely transformative and felt like I stepped back in time. I am so surprised at the beauty and tranquilly of Jeonju and Wanju, which is also known as the Switzerland and of Korea. I’d love to take my family again in the fall!
BTS fans, they also stayed here for a week and lots of the album photos were taken in this complex.
Also, visited @soyang_hanok @dubhe_cafe @awon_hanok
Here’s a link to my amazing trip photos and it was magical. I hope we can visit again in the spring or fall!

I did this tour in the summer, and I wish I could do it again in all other three seasons, haha. The beauty of the place (Soyang Gotaek) leaves us speechless. There is a harmony between the traditional Korean architecture and the surrounding mountains that I can’t explain, only admire. I believe that the experience of sleeping in a hanok makes the trip to Korea more memorable, not to mention that the photos dressed in hanbok are even more beautiful!! I will always remember this weekend. I love history and being able to travel to Jeonju Hanok Village gave me the feeling that I was traveling back in time to ancient Korea (Joseon Era) and I was a lady of high royalty, haha. The historical value of the trip is undeniable. Combined with the elegance and premium services, the traditional Korean food, everything was very pleasant, a complete experience! The staff was also super attentive and fun!! Thank you for this experience. 🙂 I will come back!!

It was an amazing experience, I can’t describe in words the beautiful landscapes and the great peace we experienced during this trip! I have no complaints, everything was beautiful! Without a doubt, our place of lodging makes you feel like you traveled to the past without losing the comforts of the present. The food was very delicious and full of history! We ate a lot ahahaha We also learned about Korean history and culture while enjoying the locations that BTS had visited. I will definitely do this trip again! Thanks for the guide ♡

The experience was great in general. I enjoyed the food a lot and the experience of wearing a hanbok a walking around with it in one of the most traditional cities of the country was just like a scene taken out off a K-drama. All the places we visited were pretty and had great escenarios. The tour guides were also really friendly and helpful. The stay in the Hanok was also great. The facilities were very clean and nice. I only would suggest changing the pillows, because they were a bit uncomfortable. Besides from that I dont have any complain. I enjoy my stay and my experience overall. I recommend this tour if you are someone who is willing to try new experiences and is ready to dive into the traditional Korean culture. I recommend asking about the history behind each dish and place. That way you can enjoy your experience to the fullest!

Usually I don’t write such a long reviews, but this tour was too amazing to sum up in a short one. Awon Old Hanok Museum became one of my favorite spots in Korea and is an absolute must-visit. I love how they blend art with Korean culture and history, creating a unique and charming atmosphere. It’s a perfect place to relax with a cup of coffee while enjoying the beautiful view. And one of the highlights of this tour was definitely our stay at Soyang Gotaek, in a traditional Hanok. I had a wonderful time with my friends and was very impressed by the high level of service. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of and the dinner experience was unforgettable it felt like a scene from a beautiful movie. And, of course, the food was absolutely delicious. A special thanks to the wonderful staff and our bus driver, who played a big part in making our trip to Jeonju and Wanju so memorable. Their kindness and attention to detail ensured that we had an unforgettable experience. Definitely recommend this trip if you want to get one step closer to Korean culture, history and cousin.
