Terrible Clothes
The tour is great thank you Kevin for the guide. However the cloths is terrible, dirty, funny colour, oversize and the gloves are smelly. We feedback to tour guide but they refused to help us, then we look for the store person in charge but he said that if he change for us other customer also will have the same request, and he also throw a pants in front of us. That mean we are not allow to make any request although we are paying for the service. I am hope ktourstory can look into this and make sure this will not happen.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We apologize for any inconvenience caused during the trip and we are going to work harder on the arrangements of our tours. Your feedback is very helpful for our improvement and we hope to meet you again here in Korea.

Skiing 1 day trip
I booked this tour for me and my friend. We had a great time here. The tour guide, the ski resort is good. There are diffirent levels for us to choose. This is my 1st I go skiing so i had a class and the mentor showed us how to control the board. Very easy to understand. However there is a big minus here. When i used the lift at the beginer A. At the end of lift, I dont know how to pull the lift up. And there were 2 boys here. They still supported us to pull it up but with the bad behaviour. Not 1 time but 2 times. They said “aiguuu” together in front of me, when i went out, they kept pointing and talking smt about us. I think they stand here to support customers instead of standing still and just say smt in Korean. It is unexecptable behaviour in hospitality insdustry. Anyway, thank Ktourstory team so much. Hope that you can improve your service day by day. Thank you
Response from the operator: Thank you for recommending us to everybody out there! We are very happy to hear that you had so much fun skiing, despite the fact that it is not an easy sport at all for first timers... Hopefully you will return to Korea next year and we hope to see you again!

Elysian Gangchon Winter Ski + Eobi Ice Valley Day Tour fr Seoul: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seoul.
How much does Elysian Gangchon Winter Ski + Eobi Ice Valley Day Tour fr Seoul cost?
+
Prices start at $14 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 Elysian Gangchon Winter Ski + Eobi Ice Valley Day Tour fr 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 Elysian Gangchon Winter Ski + Eobi Ice Valley Day Tour fr Seoul worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 17 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 Elysian Gangchon Winter Ski + Eobi Ice Valley Day Tour fr 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 Elysian Gangchon Winter Ski + Eobi Ice Valley Day Tour fr 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 Elysian Gangchon Winter Ski + Eobi Ice Valley Day Tour fr Seoul?
+
Around 6 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 Elysian Gangchon Winter Ski + Eobi Ice Valley Day Tour fr 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 Best DMZ Tour Seoul: Defector Q&A, 3rd Tunnel & Suspension Bridge, DMZ Tour: Defector Q&A, Tunnel & Suspension Bridge /Hotel pick up, 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.
