Do this tour!!
Caitlin_R, 20-10-2019
This was one of my favourite tours in Seoul. I booked it because we like dramas but honestly didn't know what to expect. I was blown away by how beautiful and fun this location was. So blown away in fact, that next time I'm in Seoul I'm doing it again!
If you like dramas, or even just like historical Korean culture and architecture, this is really a must do for you.

The tour of MBC Dramia was more than I imagined. The set covered many acres on a hillside and the view was incredible. I could picture scenes from Jumong and Jewel in the Palace as I walked the grounds.

Korean Folk Village displayed villages, homes and clothing during the Joseon dynasty. Vegetable and herb gardens were abundant over the many acres of the village. There was a food court where one could try traditional Korean fare. During the day, exhibitions took place on the grounds.

Since it was Korean Thanksgiving, many visitors were dressed in their traditional outfits, hanbok.

I would highly recommend this tour especially if you are into Korean dramas.

The TV Set Tour was a bit of a disappointment to me at least.

It is not the most interesting place to visit when there is nothing happening there, so for fans of the dramas only. My children are fans and were telling me that which dramas were filmed in each of the sections we looked around. The countryside on the way there and back was a pleasant change from Seoul city.



The Korean Folk Village was exceptional. Our tour guide and tour schedule meant that we arrived at exactly the right time for the shows. The traditional and modern food available was just what I was looking for.



The tour guide was very helpful, beyond what I was expecting
