Awesome trip
Everything about this trip was more than I expected. Mr BJ Kwon was an excellent guide who avoided the crowd and took me to some awesome photography spots as I needed. Also, the Andong chicken was delicious. I couldn’t have ask for a better experience. Thank you Mr. Kwon.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the best review and wonderful compliment to our great tour guide BJ Kwon. Thanks a lot BJ.

Andong Hahoe - great but disappointing service
- we did not receive the vehicle as mentioned in the advertising - we paid our food ourselves 60.000K won either is was included, I checked once I was back at hotel to verify as I did not want to argue with the driver to not ruin my family day. The organisation made a refund of 40 EURO which is appreciated. - the guide did not have much additional knownledge, he grabed a paper guide onsite and guided us based on that paper. This I could have done myself - conclusion I paid 500 EURO for 3 persons, worth it? Yes the village is beautiful and something completely different from what you see in Seoul as you are in the country side. But I expect from a guide that he tells me the ins and outs. - BTW the guide was very very kind no comments on that But I do not recommend unless you have the gurantee of a good and professional guide...
Response from the operator: We are very sorry to hear that you didn’t have a good time with us. But, we would like to correct something you pointed out above. The vehicle, KIA Carnival, which we provided for you is exactly the same as explained on the web. In terms of lunch, your guide could have dealt with the lunch payment right away if you asked him earlier on the spot something different from your original contract. You didn’t have to keep it secret. Anyhow, we refunded the lunch payment immediately when you gave us a call later. On your phone call, as you called your tour guide “rubbish”, however, he is not as rubbish as you thought. He has been very qualified and dedicated to guiding our people. He didn’t do only walking you with the paper map, but also sharing with you verbally all kinds of background knowledge of the village. According to your guide, you guys didn’t seem to listen to what he said during the tour. Yes, definitely, you could travel in your own with zero Euro on Google in your PC. Once again, we are very sorry to have you on our tour.

A memorable Andong trip worth signing up for!
The trip started with on time 7.30am pick up. Our private tour guide, Chance Kim, is absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly n jovial. The trip took us almost 3 hours to reach destination - Unesco heritage Andong Village. We had a good 2 hours walk in the village with detailed explanation from Mr Kim, whom also acted as our photographer. What a bonus!! Overall, it was an enjoyable & meaningful trip for us. This is a trip worth every cent paid for. Thank u Mr Kim...
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review and being as a my tourist Mr. Allan Chew. I hope you to have wonderful days rest of your travel days in Korea and see you again in near future.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Andong Hahoe Folk Village [UNESCO World Heritage] Private Tour from Seoul: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seoul.
How much does Andong Hahoe Folk Village [UNESCO World Heritage] Private Tour from Seoul cost?
+
Prices start at $68 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seoul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Andong Hahoe Folk Village [UNESCO World Heritage] Private Tour from Seoul take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Seoul is not rushed.
Is Andong Hahoe Folk Village [UNESCO World Heritage] Private Tour from Seoul worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seoul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Andong Hahoe Folk Village [UNESCO World Heritage] Private Tour from Seoul?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Andong Hahoe Folk Village [UNESCO World Heritage] Private Tour from Seoul suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Andong Hahoe Folk Village [UNESCO World Heritage] Private Tour from Seoul?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Seoul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Seoul and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Andong Hahoe Folk Village [UNESCO World Heritage] Private Tour from Seoul start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Seoul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Seoul?
+
On Outty we rank every Seoul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include DMZ Tour: Defector Q&A, Tunnel & Suspension Bridge /Hotel pick up, Best DMZ Tour Seoul: Defector Q&A, 3rd Tunnel & Suspension Bridge, 2026 Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best: DMZ Tour from Seoul. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Seoul?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Seoul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
